3 Monitoring and Diagnostics
3.1 System Diagnostics - Codes and Message
VisualMotion provides three types of diagnostic messages:
• Status messages
• Warning messages
• Shutdown messages
An identifying 3-digit code number precedes diagnostic messages.
Example: 400 Emergency Stop
These identifying code numbers are assigned by Bosch Rexroth and are
broken up into the following groups:
• (001-199) Status messages
• (201-399) Warning messages
• (400-599) Shutdown messages
Each group above does not contain the range of code numbers indicated
as diagnostic messages. The range of numbers was designed to allow
for future development.
The Host can request the currently active VisualMotion diagnostic
message for the control and for each user task from the following
parameters.
Control parameters
• Parameter C-0-0122: Displays current diagnostic message
• Parameter C-0-0123: Displays current diagnostic 3-digit code
• Parameter C-0-0124: Displays extended diagnostic message
VisualMotion Task parameters
• Parameter "0x T-0-0122": Displays Task (A-D) diagnostic message
• Parameter "0x T-0-0123": Displays Task (A-D) status message
(Where 0x = 1-4 for Task A-D)
Drive Parameter
• Parameter "xx S-0-0095": Displays Drive diagnostic message
(Where xx = 1-40 for Drive 1-40)
The above diagnostic message parameters can be view by using
VisualMotion Toolkit and selecting Data ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒ Parameters from the main
menu.
Parameters
Selecting Data ⇒ Parameters opens the Parameter Overview window
shown below. This window is used to view and modify existing Control,
Drive, Task and Axis parameters.
Note: Parameters can only be viewed when VisualMotion Toolkit is
either in service or online mode. Communication in either
mode is established using a serial interface cable (IKB0005) or
an Ethernet connection.
