You can enter the Active faults menu
from the Main menu by pressing Menu button right when the
location indication M4 is visible on the first line of the keypad display.
When a fault brings the brake chopper to a stop, the location indication F1, the fault code, a short
description of the fault, and the fault type symbol (see Chapter 6.3.5) will appear on the display. In
addition, the indication FAULT or ALARM (see Figure 56 or Chapter 6.1.1) is displayed and, in case
of a FAULT, the red LED on the keypad starts to blink. If several faults occur simultaneously, the list
of active faults can be browsed with the
Browser buttons .
The memory of active faults can store a maximum of 10 faults in the order of appearance. The
display can be cleared with the
Reset button and the read-out will return to the same state it was
in before the fault trip. The fault remains active until it is cleared with the
Reset button or with a
reset signal from the I/O terminal.
