The inverter saves incoming alarms in the alarm buffer. An alarm includes an alarm code, an
alarm value, and two alarm times:
●
Alarm code: r2122
●
Alarm value: r2124 in fixed-point format "I32", r2134 in floating-point format "Float"
●
Alarm time received = r2145 + r2123
●
Alarm time removed = r2146 + r2125
Up to 8 alarms can be saved in the alarm buffer.
In the alarm buffer, the warnings are sorted according to "Warning time received". If the
alarm buffer is completely filled and an additional alarm occurs, then the inverter overwrites
the values with Index [7].
Alarm history
Figure 10-3 Shifting removed alarms into the alarm history
If the alarm buffer is completely filled and an additional alarm occurs, the inverter shifts all
removed alarms into the alarm history. The following occurs in detail:
1.
To create space after position [8] in the alarm history, the inverter shifts the alarms
already stored in the alarm history "down" by one or more positions.
If the alarm history is completely full, the inverter will delete the oldest alarms.
2.
The inverter moves the removed alarms from the alarm buffer to the now freed up
positions of the alarm history.
Alarms that have not been removed remain in the alarm buffer.
3.
The inverter closes gaps in the alarm buffer that occurred when the removed alarms were
shifted in the alarm history by shifting the alarms that have not been removed "up".
4.
The inverter saves the received alarm as the latest alarm in the alarm buffer.
