TB?
Description
Error message query
Syntax
TB?
Remarks
This command is used to read the error code, and the associated message.
The error code is one numerical value up to three(3) digits long. (see Appendix for
complete listing) In general, non-axis specific errors numbers range from 0-99. Axis- 1
specific errors range from
1
00-
1
99, Axis-
2
errors range from
2
00-
2
99 and so on. The
message is a description of the error associated with it. All arguments are separated by
commas.
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.
