ConfigFault

ConfigFault

Applies to: Consumed, Servo, Servo Drive and Virtual axes.
ConfigFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set when one or more axis attributes associated with a motion module or drive has not been successfully updated to match the value of the corresponding attribute of the local controller. To diagnose a ConfigFault for a Servo or Servo Drive axis type, check the following error code attributes.
Fault Name
Description
AttributeErrorCode (Servo and Servo Drive)
A code associated with the cause of an axis attribute error. Refer to the CIP Error Code List for a list of these hexadecimal codes and associated error descriptions.
AttributeErrorID (Servo and Servo Drive)
The ID of the axis attribute which has not been successfully updated.
Tip:
 Both the AttributeErrorID and the name of the problem attribute appear in the "Attribute Error" line of the QuickView Pane in the Controller Organizer.
SERCOSErrorCode (Servo Drive only)
A code that identifies a SERCOS module failure causing the ConfigFault. Refer to the SERCOS Error Code List for a list of binary values and associated error descriptions.
A ConfigFault is a serious fault and results in the shutdown of the faulted axis.
To diagnose and recover from a ConfigFault:
  1. Use the error code attributes shown earlier to identify and correct the invalid attribute value.
  2. Reconfigure the motion module by clicking on the Reset Module button on the Module Info tab of the motion module properties dialog box.
The error code is reset to zero by reconfiguration of the motion module.
The occurrence of a ConfigFault sets bit #2 of the AxisFault attribute.
Tip:
To diagnose a ConfigFault for a Consumed axis type, check the status of the faults listed above on the
Logix Designer
 application operating the controller to which the Consumed axis is physically connected.
For a Virtual axis type, the value of ConfigFault will always be zero.
