Description
Fault
DINT
Binary
An ordered status of faults that indicates that a point is faulted and I/O data for that point may be incorrect. Check other diagnostic faults, if they are available, for further diagnosis of root cause. If communication to the device is lost, then all points for a device are faulted.
This box shows 32 bits regardless of the number of points on the device. For an 8-point device, only the lower 8 bits (bits 0...7) are meaningful. For a 16-point device, only the lower 16 bits (bits 0...15) are meaningful.
  • 0 = No fault
  • 1 = Fault (OpenWire OR FieldPwrLoss OR FuseBlown OR NoLoad OR OutputVerifyFault OR FieldPwrLoss OR CommFault)
Data
DINT
Binary
For output devices, the Off/On status for the output point echoed back from the output device. This is used to verify proper communication only. No field side verification is done. For field side verification, see OutputVerifyFault.
  • 0 = Off
  • 1 = On
