Read Alarm or Warning (ALM_RD)
The ALM_RD command is used to read the following information about the status of faults
and alarms.
• Present fault and alarm status list
• Fault history (Alarms are not saved in the history.)
• Details of faults
In the following case, a warning is generated and the command is ignored.
• If ALM_RD_MOD is other than a set value: Data setting alarm (A.94)
The fault history is saved in EEPROM and is kept even when the control power is inter-
rupted.
The following table shows the specifications for ALM_RD_MOD and ALM_DATA.
If the fault history (ALM_RD_MOD = 1) is selected, the fault code (1 byte) is entered in
order of detection from ALM_DATA byte 6, and byte 6 is refreshed with the most recent
fault code. If no fault occurred, 00H is displayed to indicate normal operations.
