Fault diagnosis
Alarms
If, for example, the internal self-test detects that the position value has been incorrectly
calculated or an incorrect configuration value has been transferred to the encoder, the
alarm flag is set (attribute 46, see Tab. 19 on page 28).
It is imperative to evaluate the alarms in your application!
In case of a serious error, incorrect position values may be output. This change could
cause an unexpected movement that may result in a hazard for persons or damage to the
system or other objects.
In addition the S3 LED illuminates red continuously.
The alarm type is coded in a bit field of attributes 44 and 45.
