Axis Exception, Fault, Alarm Attrib

These are the exception, fault, and alarm related attributes associated with a Motion Control Axis. Exceptions are conditions that can occur during axis operation that have the potential of generating faults or alarms based on the Exception Action configuration.

The Axis Exceptions attribute is a bit map that represents the current state of all standard exception conditions. See the Std. Exception Table bit map definition later in this section for detail on the bit locations. Each exception has a corresponding Axis Exception Action. Exceptions that are configured to be Ignored are only be visible in this attribute

The Axis Exceptions 2 attribute provides a 64-bit extension to the Axis Exceptions attribute bit map representing the current state of all standard exception conditions. See the Std. Exception Table bit map definition later in this section for detail on the bit locations. Each exception has a corresponding Axis Exception Action. Exceptions that are configured to be Ignored are only be visible in this attribute.

The Axis Exceptions - Mfg attribute is a bit map that represents the current state of all manufacturer specific exception conditions. See the Mfg. Exception Table published in drive product manual. Each exception has a corresponding Axis Exception Action. Exceptions that are configured to be Ignored are only be visible in this attribute.

A bit map that represents the state of all standard runtime faults. The bit map is identical to that of the Axis Exceptions attribute. Fault bits when set are latched until a fault reset occurs. A fault reset clears the runtime fault bits, but the bits set again immediately if the underlying exception condition is still present. Any exceptions whose Axis Exception Action is configured to ignore or report as alarms do not appear in this attribute

This bit map is identical to that of the CIP Axis Exceptions 2 attribute. Fault bits when set are latched until a fault reset occurs. A fault reset clears the runtime fault bits, but the bits set again immediately if the underlying exception condition is still present.
