Appendix A: Error Messages

The Interface Module displays an error message when an error occurs during machine operation.
The format for errors appearing on the monitor’s LED display is illustrated in Figure A-1.
Descriptions and solutions for errors are provided in charts A-1 through A-3. Error messages are
grouped into the following three categories:

System Error This type of error is caused by one of the monitor’s modules or

input device. It typically indicates some form of a hardware failure
or problem with the input device. For example, if the input device
is disconnected from the input module, the monitor will display
a system error.

Operating Error This type of error is caused by problems with typical machine

operation. For example, if the Interface Module does not move
within the time programmed in the Move Detection Time-Out
function, the monitor will display an operating error.

Entry Error This type of error is caused by an invalid entry through the use of

the monitor’s keypad. For example, if an invalid function number
is entered or a value for a function that is out of range is entered,
the monitor will display an entry error.

NOTE: To clear errors, perform the solutions found in charts A-1, A-2, and A-3. After

completing the solution, press the enter key.
