Runtime errors
Once all the cabinets have been defined, the devices labeled, and correlations written in the VM-CU the
information is compiled. If the compiler finds no errors, the database is ready to be downloaded to the control
panel. If an error occurs during the download process, it is referred to as a runtime error.
One source of runtime errors occurs during the initial database download. Until all portions of the database are
downloaded into the VM-CPU memory, errors will be generated. Most of these errors will resolve themselves as
the system progresses through download stages.
A second source of runtime errors can occur if there is a mismatch between the cabinet configuration in the VM-
CU and the actual installed hardware. Common causes include a card address mismatch, card type mismatch, or
even an entire cabinet mismatch.
A third source of runtime errors is primarily caused by communication problems between cabinets during the
download. These can occur after the initial database has been downloaded into all cabinets and subsequent
downloads are performed using the network data circuit.
The table below lists some error messages that may appear on the LCD screen during the database download
and their possible causes.
Note: Refer to Chapter 7 “Service and troubleshooting” on page 123 for issues other than those listed below that
may arise during panel operation.
