External triggering messages
If the appropriate binector input is interconnected with an input signal, fault 1, 2 or 3 or alarm
1, 2 or 3 can be triggered via an external input signal.
Once an external fault (1 to 3) has been triggered on the Control Unit drive object, this fault
is also present on all associated drive objects. If one of these external faults is triggered on a
different drive object, it is only present on that particular drive object.

Note
An external fault or alarm is triggered by a 1/0 signal.
An external fault and
alarm do not usually mean that an internal drive message has been
generated. The cause of an external fault and warning should, therefore, be remedied
outside the drive.
5.4.4
Propagation of faults
In the case of faults that are, for example, triggered by the Control Unit or a Terminal
Module, central functions of the drive are also often affected. As a result of propagation,
faults that are triggered by one drive object are therefore transferred to other drive objects.
This response also applies to the faults that are set in a DCC chart on the Control Unit using
a DCC block.
