TE read error code
IMM PGM MIP
USAGE ♦ ♦
SYNTAX TE?
PARAMETERS questions mark (?)
Defaults timeout: error 2, RS-232 COMMUNICATION TIME-OUT
DESCRIPTION This command is used to read the error code.
The error code is one numerical value up to three digits long. (see Appendix for
complete listing)
In general, non-axis specific errors numbers range from 1-99. Axis-1 specific
errors range from 100-199, Axis-2 errors range from 200-299 and so on.
Note:
Errors are maintained in a FIFO buffer ten(10) elements deep. When an error is
read using TB or TE, the controller returns the last error that occurred and the
error buffer is cleared by one(1) element. This means that an error can be read
only once, with either command.
RETURNS aa
where: aa = error code number (see Appendix for complete listing)
REL. COMMANDS TB - read error message
EXAMPLE TE? | read error message
