TimerEventFault

Applies to: Servo and Servo Drive axes.
TimerEventFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set when a 1756-M02AE servo module (for a Servo axis) or a 1756-M08SE SERCOS module (for a Servo Drive axis) detects a loss of timer event signal or incorrect ratio of coarse and fine timer events. A TimerEventFault shuts down the module.
TimerEventFault is a recoverable condition.
To clear a TimerEventFault:
  1. Reduce the loading of the motion task (increase coarse update rate in motion group properties, increase cycle time in the M08SE properties).
  2. Reconfigure the motion module (1756-M02AE or 1756-M08SE).
The occurrence of a TimerEventFault sets bit #2 of the ModuleFaults attribute, the ModuleFault attribute, and bit #1 of the AxisFault attribute.
