9.2.1 Structure of the history buffer
• The history buffer has 8 memory units. The fields under ”fault history” show the memory units
2to7.
• The fields under ”Actual fault” show memory unit 1. It contains information on the active fault.
– The first memory unit is written only after the elimination or acknowledgement of the active
fault. This entry eliminates the last fault from the history buffer so that it can no longer be
read.
• The history buffer contains three information items for every fault occurred:
Fault recognition and reaction
ó Time of the fault
ì Frequency of the fault
óì
