6.1 Device Start (Reboot)
The WIC1 starts (or reboots) in any of the following situations:
• It is connected to the supply voltage (or gets sucient electrical energy from the•
CTs),
• the user initiates (intentionally) a restart of the device,•
• the device is set back to factory defaults,•
• the internal self-supervision of the device detects a fatal error.•
Note that every WIC1 restart also triggers a DiggiMEC restart, if connected. If a PC with
Smart view is connected, then the connection is lost. To reconnect, close the previous
session in Smart view (menu item [File / Close]), then select [Device / Receive Data
from Device].
Every restart of the WIC1 – except for a normal start-up – appears as a new entry within the
Self-Supervision messages, ╚═▷ “6.2 Self-Supervision Messages”.
The reason for a device start/reboot is shown numerically as “Value”. The value “1” in the
example above means a normal start-up. Please see the table below for a full list.
