Placing and Configuring the Drive 3-25
Monitoring the drive module
Each communication format provides a drive status word that will indicate
when a drive fault or alarm occurs. To view this data through the programming
software:
You can write logic to monitor these bits and take appropriate action if a fault
or alarm occurs. For example, you may want a drive alarm to turn on a warning
lamp and a drive fault to sound an alarm and set the motor brake.
1. In the Controller Organizer, select Controller Tags. Right-click the selected icon and select Monitor Tags.
2. Expand the data as necessary.
EXAMPLE
Given this configuration, the following logic checks the
fault and alarm drive status bits.
