Display permanent diagnostic memory of the motor controller
To display or save the permanent diagnostic memory, activate the online “Diagnosis” tab in the FCT
plug-in.
If there is an active online connection, you should then activate the “Permanent” tab. “Read” reads the
number of entries of the permanent diagnostic memory specified under “Entries” and displays them in
chronological order, newest first.
Selecting “All entries” reads the complete permanent diagnostic memory. This can take several
minutes.
The content of the diagnostic memory is displayed in the form of a table:

Sample entries in the diagnostic memory
Additional information on the entries in the diagnostic memory:
–
Entries are made chronologically, meaning that the top entry is the most recent entry.
–
Small deviations of the timestamp are possible after Power OFF/ON, as the motor
controller only saves the timestamp once per minute to non-volatile memory.
