The meaning of RAS is Reliability, Availability and Serviceability, the RAS

function is the general term used for the functions installed in the T2N which

increase the reliability and serviceability of the applied systems and support the

operation of the system.

This section explains the self-diagnostic functions installed in the T2N, the

maintenance functions, the debugging functions and the system checks which

can be run by the T2N user.

The T2N runs checks on itself. The details of these self-diagnostics which are

designed to prevent abnormal operation, the timing of the diagnosis and procedure

when malfunctions are detected are shown below.

In building up the system, consider the system operation safety should a in

case of a T2N shut down (fail safe) and the system operation backup function.

In the following explanation, error registration means the storing of the details of

the error and the time when it occurred on the event history table; error down

means that all the outputs turn OFF and ERROR mode is entered; alarm means

that the erroris registered, the special relay is set, and running is continued.
