13.8.4
Conduct in Case of Errors and Pre-failure Messages
For DME5000-specific status codes, see chapter 11 "Troubleshooting". For errors that no
longer permit distance value calculation (e.g. plausibility error due to light beam
interruption), the analog sin/cos signals are drawn to the zero line. Once the light path is
free again, the zero passes are output subsequently at a frequency of max. 10 kHz
according to the path travelled during interruption.
The RS-485 parameter channel is used to output the measured value "0" in case of error
(for devices with production date < 23 October 2009, the last valid value was output via
the RS-485).
Both errors and pre-failure messages can be recognized in the command byte.
In error-free condition, the answer to a command sent to the DME5000 via the RS-485
parameter channel always contains the command byte of the command directly after the
address byte. In case of error or when a pre-failure message is pending, the MSB bit is set
in the answer's command byte.
Example for command byte 42h (read position):
Condition free of defects: Command byte in the DME5000 answer: 42h
Error case/pre-failure: Command byte in the DME5000 answer: C2h
In case of error (e.g. light beam interruption), the vehicle should be stopped and a new
absolute value requested via the RS-485 parameter channel after removal of the error.
