There are two types of faults that can occur during normal
operation—major and minor faults. As well, you could encounter
mistakes or system errors, and three types of operational messages
that indicate a problem or provide status information. See Chapter 8,
Troubleshooting PanelView Terminals, for a list of major and minor
fault messages and mistake messages.
Major Faults
If the terminal detects a major fault, it enters Major Fault mode and
displays a message in the Major Fault Window. The terminal cannot
control or monitor PLC functions while in Major Fault mode.
A Major Fault condition prevents further terminal operation in Run
mode. The terminal stops executing the application, the current
application screen is frozen, printing stops, the alarm relay and
beeper are disabled, and any application file transfers stop.
To clear a major fault:
" Switch to Configure mode or cycle power. A Major Fault in
Configure mode can be cleared if it does not impede
configuration operations once the message is acknowledged.
Important: If the Software Mode Switch is set to Enable, the Goto
Configure Mode button is displayed on the Major Fault
window without access restrictions. (See below for a
screen display.) This may pose a security issue, because
all operators will be able to switch between Run and
Configure modes.
