Detailed malfunction analysis
8.2.1
LEDs at the camera
The following statuses can, among other things, be read at the LEDs for the electrical
connections of the ICD890 Camera (see
):
•
Result of the self-test
•
Operating status
•
Status of the reading result
•
Required maintenance or service work
The LEDs can display possible malfunctions or errors. Please refer to the system
information for further details.
8.2.2
System information
The ICR890 System displays errors in various ways. The error output is hierarchised and
always allows a detailed analysis:
•
Communication errors can occur while transmitting telegrams to the ICR890 System.
In this case, the ICR890 System returns an error code.
•
Error codes are written into a status protocol for errors which occur during a reading.
8.2.3
Status protocol
Note
•
The status protocol remains even after switching the device off and on again.
•
The system differentiates between four error types:
– Information
– Warning
– Error
– Fatal error
The system only saves the last five entries for each of the error types.
Displaying the status protocol with the aid of the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software
In order to display the status protocol, the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software has to be
online and connected to the ICR890 System.
¾
Connect the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software to the device.
¾
Open the project tree IRC890, S

.
Reading the status protocol with the aid of command strings
The status protocol can also be read with the aid of command strings. There is a telegram
available for each error type.
¾
Send the telegram from the command
sRN
(SOPAS read by name) and the telegram
name to the ICR890 System, e. g. via the terminal in the SOPAS-ET Configuration
Software.
The ICR890 System sends an answer consisting of
sRA
(SOPAS write answer) the
telegram name, an error code (00000000h = no error) and information, warnings,
errors or fatal errors.
