PICS stop signal
8 PICS stop signal
The PHC10-2 will assert STOP under the following conditions (table 19):
Table 19 - PHC10-2 LEDs
Condition Notes
Overload error The head has been overloaded while locked, causing it to unlock.
Obstruct error
The head has been obstructed while moving to the requested position and
is unable to reach that position, or is unable to lock into it.
Head disconnect
STOP will be asserted for two seconds if the head is disconnected. It is
reset after this period.
Power failure
Because STOP is an active low signal, it will effectively be asserted if
mains power is removed from the PHC10-2.
The reaction to assertion of PICS STOP to the system and effect of the signal removal are set out in
table 20.
