DESCRIPTION
This command is used to read the error code.
The error code is one numerical value up to three digits long. (see Appendix for
complete listing)
In general, non-axis specific errors numbers range from 1-99. Axis-
1 specific
errors range from 1 00- 1 99, Axis- 2 errors range from 2 00- 2 99 and so on.
Note:
Errors are maintained in a FIFO buffer ten(10) elements deep. When an error is
read using TB or TE, the controller returns the last error that occurred and the
error buffer is cleared by one(1) element. This means that an error can be read
only once, with either command.
RETURNS
aa
