GetCtrlErrors

 Function A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. - Get a list of the active errors and alarms on the controller.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
En	BOOL				Enable Enable signal for the drive, Hardware-Enable with 24V signal to X8, Software-Enable command by setup Software, fieldbus or permanently set. Both are required for enabling the drive.
ActiveError	BOOL[100]				Array of BOOL with the size equal to 100.
ActiveAlarm	BOOL[100]				Array of BOOL with the size equal to 100.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
OK	BOOL
Q	DINT			Status of the execution.

Remarks

• Returns active errors and alarms on the controller in two arrays of hundred Booleans.
• Every index Zero pulse (zero signal) of a hardware pin such as digital input or feedback pin. in the array corresponds to the error and alarm numbers in the tables.
  • See Controller Error and Alarm Descriptions for a list of possible generated errors and alarms.

Status Meaning

Bit	Value	Description
Bit 0	Value 0	No error, no alarm, no shut down.
Bit 0	Value 1	There is an active error or an active alarm (i.e., there is something in the array ActiveError/ActiveAlarm).
Bit 1	Value 0	No shut down.
Bit 1	Value 1	The PLC Programmable Logic Controller - A digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events. processes is shut down. This starts 10 seconds after the error is triggered.
Bit 2 to 15	Value 2 | 4 | 9 to 2147483648	Reserved.
