Error Messages
If there is a fault, the ULTRA Plus or IQ can provide specific error messages. The error messages are
displayed on the optional Operator Terminal. If a personal computer running IQ Master is connected to
the P6 connector, the error message can be displayed in the Monitor menu, Status dialog box.
The error output may be disabled and used as a general purpose output. Therefore, this output may not
be available for diagnostic purposes. The remainder of the discussion about the Error Output assumes
that output 8 is assigned as an error output. The output can be assigned in the Parameter menu, Outputs
dialog box of IQ Master. Refer to Part 2
•
IQ Master Environment, Parameter menu, Outputs, for more
detailed information.
The Error output becomes active whenever the ULTRA Plus or IQ detects a fault. The ULTRA Plus or
IQ will not begin to execute motion programs while a fault is present. After removing the cause of the
fault, toggling the ENABLE input OFF and back ON, or issuing a RESET command will clear the fault
and allow execution of motion programs. Some faults, however, can only be cleared by an HRESET
command. These faults include numbers 42, 45-54, 68, 69, 73, and 74. Refer to the table below for a
description of each fault.
On some machines you may want the ULTRA Plus or IQ to continue running even after some faults
occur. This is accomplished by setting Disable on Fault to Partial. In this case, the following faults are
disabled: Iavg fault, Motor Overtemperature, Soft Forward Limit, and Soft Reverse Limit. All faults
will cause the Error output to turn ON (if enabled). However, if Disable on Fault is set to Partial, and a
fault listed above occurs, the ULTRA Plus or IQ will remain enabled and execute motion programs nor-
mally. The Error output in this case serves as an alarm, and a programmable logic controller (PLC) or
other controller can then gracefully shut down the machine without damaging the tooling or work piece.
This setting is made in the Parameter menu, System dialog box of IQ Master, or with the FLTDIS Host
Language Command. Refer to Part 2
