7.1.1 Alarm and Warning Messages
General
There is a clear distinction between alarms and warnings. In
the event of an alarm, the frequency converter will enter a
fault condition. After the cause for the alarm has been
cleared, the master must acknowledge the alarm message in
order to start operation of the frequency converter again. A
warning, on the other hand, may appear when a warning
condition arises, then disappear when conditions return to
normal without interfering with the process.
Alarm Word and Warning Word are shown on the display in
Hex format. If there is more than one warning or alarm, a
sum of all warnings or alarms will be shown. Warning Word
and Alarm Word are displayed in par. 16-90 to 16-95. For
more information on the individual alarms and warnings,
please refer to:

Warnings
All warnings within the frequency converter are represented
by a single bit within a Warning Word. A Warning Word is
always an action parameter. Bit status FALSE [0] means no
warning, while bit status TRUE [1] means warning. Each bit
status has a corresponding text string message. In addition
to the Warning Word message the master will also be
notified via a change to bit 7 in the status word.
Alarms
Following an alarm message the frequency converter will
enter a fault condition. Only after the fault has been rectified
and the master has acknowledged the alarm message by
setting bit 3 in the Control Word, can the FC resume
operation. All alarms within the FC are represented by a
single bit within an Alarm Word. An Alarm Word is always an
action parameter. Bit status FALSE [0] means no alarm, while
bit status TRUE [1] means alarm.
