9.8 List of maintenance requests
For FIDAMAT 6, the following messages require a maintenance request (display in the
status line and storage in the logbook) and are signaled externally if you have configured a
corresponding relay under function 71.
With function 87, you can switch off each maintenance request individually, which means
suppressing the display in the status line, storage in the logbook and the external signal.
