Communication Errors
Errors and Debugging
Communication errors (COMM ERR) that occur with OutBack Power Systems components
are oen the result of loose, damaged, or unplugged cables. ey can also occur if AGS (Ad-
vanced Generator Start) Mode is used and the wrong port is designated for the generator or if
the system is damaged by a lightning strike. When a communication error occurs, the COMM
ERR message will appear on any MATE screen in view.
A sample DEBUG screen looks like this:
00:000 01:000 02:000
03:000 04:025 05:001
06:001 07:001 08:001
09:001 10:001 2M:001
Heres how to read the DEBUG screen:
01:000 Number of errors (zero in this case) present at this port.
Port 01
An unused port will show one error:
09:001 Port 09 has no component; the single error is the system default.
A port with a large number of errors requires action. In this example, Port 4 needs attention.
04:025 Port 04 shows 25 errors.
e A COMM (communication) ERROR
HAS OCCURRED screen appears when a
communication error among the components
occurs.
NOTE:
t Port 00 is a MATE connected directly to
an FX, no HUB is used.
t Port 2M is the “2nd MATE” Port and is
inoperable.
