Remote Operation

7.5.3 SYST:STATUS?

Syntax

SYSTem:STATUS?

Description

This command will return all Switch positions, Local/Remote mode, Power

supply status, High temperature alarm status, Fan stall alarm and Errors list

separated by a semicolon. The status response will reflect ALL items in the

matrix, while the error portion of the response is limited to the first 20 errors.

Note 1: Power supply status, High temperature alarm status and Fan stall alarm

are only returned if enabled.

(Most models do not have redundant power supplies, temperature sensors and

fans and therefore will not report this status information)

Note 2: Multiple instances of the same error code will appear multiple times.

E.g. if two different switches fail to respond to CAN messages, two instances of

error 10 will be returned.

But multiple error instances of the same switch will appear only once.

Result

“SWITx y;SWITx y;SWITx y;…….;SWITx y;LOC;PWR1 OK;PWR2 FAULT;

ERRORS 5,3;0”

SWIT = Switch

X = Switch number (ID)

Y = Switch position

LOC = Local mode

REM = Remote mode

PWR1 = Power supply 1

PWR2 = Power supply 2 (Only for systems with dual power supplies)

TEMP1 = Temperature sensor 1 (Only if temp sensor 1 is enabled)

TEMP2 = Temperature sensor 2 (Only if temp sensor 2 is enabled)

TEMP3 = Temperature sensor 3 (Only if temp sensor 3 is enabled)

TEMP4 = Temperature sensor 4 (Only if temp sensor 4 is enabled)

FAN1 = Fan 1 (Only if Fan sensor 1 is enabled)

FAN2 = Fan 2 (Only if Fan sensor 2 is enabled)

FAN3 = Fan 3 (Only if Fan sensor 3 is enabled)

FAN4 = Fan 4 (Only if Fan sensor 4 is enabled)

ERRORS = Error codes (Each number corresponds to a specific error

code described in the user manual. Not all error codes apply to the matrix).
