PhysicalAxisFault
Applies to: Consumed, Servo, Servo Drive and Virtual axes.
PhysicalAxisFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set for a Consumed, Servo or Servo Drive axis type if either of the following faults have occurred. Click a fault in the following list for more information about that fault.
TIP:
To diagnose a PhysicalAxisFault for a Consumed axis type, check the status of the preceding two faults on the Logix Designer application operating the controller to which the Consumed axis is physically connected.
For a Virtual axis type, the value of PhysicalAxisFault will always be zero.
The occurrence of a PhysicalAxisFault sets bit #0 of the AxisFault attribute.
To clear a PhysicalAxisFault, you must diagnose and clear the underlying fault. The following instructions can be used to clear both the underlying fault and the PhysicalAxisFault.
To clear a PhysicalAxisFault:
- Fault Reset (MAFR) instruction, to clear all motion faults for an axis.
- In the case of a shutdown, a Shutdown Reset (MASR) instruction, to return to an axis ready operating state.
- For a grouped axis: Motion Group Shutdown Reset (MGSR) instruction, to transition a group of axes from the shutdown operating state to the axis ready operating state.
