How to reset faults

The drive can be used in different configurations so, to answer this question we must first consider which

configuration we are using;

• In Analog Mode the user can set RESETINPUT(0) = [input] or in parameters group: “Error Handling >

Reset Input” to a Digital input.

• In Direct mode if the drive is running a mint program and it goes into an error state, it will automatically try

to call the ONERROR event.

• If configured as a DS402 RTE Slave, the drive is using the DS402 state machine so disabling and re

enabling the drive will reset any active error, though ts best to issue a reset first.

Error categories

Controllers use an error handling system that allocates a unique number for each error. This means that an

error code does not need to be deciphered to determine exactly which individual error has occurred.

Errors are recorded in two ways:

• Error List: This is designed to be manipulated by the Mint program. The controller’s error list can store up to

256 entries on MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180.

• Error Log: This is a historical record of errors and is displayed in Mint WorkBench using the Error Log tool.

On MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180. 5 KB of memory is reserved for the error log, where each error is

dynamically sized. This allows approximately 100 or more errors to be stored.

Entries in the error list can be viewed by type or sequentially, for which there are additional keywords (shown in

brackets in the following lists). Errors are arranged in several categories, with each error having a unique code.
