5.3.2
Self-test via EtherNet/IP
A self-test is available for testing the sensor and the most important functions of the
encoder.
The self-test is only allowed to be performed while the encoder is at a standstill.
The self-test can be triggered using the diagnostics bit of attribute 13 in the Position
Sensor Object (see Tab. 19 on page 28). If an error occurs, bit 27 in the fault header is set
(see Tab. 25 on page 67).
On completion of the self-test the diagnostics bit of attribute 13 is reset to 0 automatically.
5.3.3
Warnings, alarms and errors via EtherNet/IP
Within EtherNet/IP warnings, alarms and errors can be retrieved using implicit messages
and also explicit messages.
If connections are established via the I/O assembly, the fault header can be read via the
instances 101, 102 and 103 (see Tab. 14 on page 23).
Alarms and warnings for the encoder can be read via the Position Sensor Object (see
Tab. 19 on page 28) with the aid of the attributes.
For errors, alarms and warnings the following applies:
Bit status = 0: no error, alarm or warning
Bit status = 1: error, alarm or warning present
