Terminal Messages
This appendix covers the following topics:
•
Messages that may be displayed during terminal operation
•
Power On Self Test (POST) numbers and a description of each
test.
Four types of messages may appear on the terminal from time to
time. The table below describes each message and gives its type.
Status Messages
A Status Message indicates that
•
the terminal is performing an operation that may limit access to
the terminal (such as an application file download)
•
the terminal has a communication problem.
The message disappears when the terminal completes the operation
or when the communication problem is corrected.
Reminder Messages
A Reminder Message indicates a minor fault or mistake. Reminder
messages appear when an operator attempts an operation that can’t
be performed (such as entering an out of range value). Press the
ACK key to remove the message.
Warning Messages
A Warning Message indicates that an operation may produce
undesirable results. You must respond to warning messages as
indicated by the message.
Fault Messages
A Fault Message indicates that the terminal cannot operate and has
halted the current application. The terminal must be reset (power
cycled). If the problem persists, call your Allen-Bradley distributor
for help.
