A – ArcGlide THC Serial Communication Protocol
ArcGlide THC to Command THC error conversions
The ArcGlide THC supports a broad error message set. When you are using the ArcGlide THC as a replacement for the
Command THC, ArcGlide error codes are converted into Command THC error codes, and only the Command THC error
codes are returned with the EC command.
When you are using the ArcGlide THC in a new installation and using the ArcGlide extended command set:
ArcGlide errors can be returned using the AE command.
The actual ArcGlide errors will always be displayed on the ArcGlide control module and HMI displays.
These errors are for reference. See ArcGlide errors on page 191 for a definition of each error and suggestions
for corrective action.
