DIAGNOSTICS
A single alphanumeric LED display on the front of the Positioning Drive provides status and
fault information immediately available to the user. The display aids in quickly identifying
problems so that corrective action can be taken and machine downtime can be minimized. In
addition, the standard serial interface includes diagnostic status and fault reporting by simple
ASCII serial commands. See the Serial Interface Section under Run Time Command section.
