Alarms
The first step in correcting a problem is to determine if any alarms have occurred. Host
controller alarms or errors may be viewed in the PLC fault table. Servo and motion
subsystem alarms may be viewed in the DSM314 Module Status Code %AI word or one of
the Axis Error Code %AI words. Consult Chapter 5 for additional information on error
reporting through the %AI data.
For more information on DSM314 alarms, please ref
er Appendix A, “Error Codes,” which
contains a list of alarm codes and descriptions
For
more information on diagnostics, see Appendix D, “Tuning a Digital or Analog Servo
System.”

Configuration Settings
If your system powers up with alarms, it may be due to an incorrect configuration setting.
The configuration must be stored to the host controller CPU and the host controller must
be in Run/Output Enabled mode.
If you cannot move an axis or execute a jog, check to see that all conditions necessary to
perform these operations are met. Refer to the appropriate sections in this manual.
