Read the 4 most recent faults for the installed cartridge
To read the 4 most recent faults for the installed cartridge, the CNC reads the values in the
following registers:
0x3044 (fault log 0 – newest fault)
0x3045 (fault log 1)
0x3046 (fault log 2)
0x3047 (fault log 3 – oldest fault)
0x3044 (fault log 0)
Value Description
: Start of message
01 Plasma power supply node address (confirmed)
04 Read Registers (confirmed)
08 Quantity of bytes in the Data segment (0x08 = 8)
00D6 0x00D6 = 214 starts
0009 0x0009 = 9 seconds of pilot arc
00D3 0x00D3 = 211 arc transfers
098F 0x098F = 2,447 X 2 = 4,894 seconds of arc transfer (82 minutes)
A9 LRC
<CR><LF> End
Description: Reads the hexadecimal value of the fault code for the most recent fault for the
installed cartridge. If there is no fault, this reads a value of 0x0000 (0-00-0).
Convert the hexadecimal value to decimal.
Refer to Fault code list on page 32 for the complete list of possible fault codes.
