Siemens SIPART PS2 User Manual

This chapter contains information about the following situations in particular:
● Possible causes of the fault message.
● Events which activate the fault message output or alarm outputs.
● Setting of parameters needed for event monitoring.
● Canceling a fault message
When the fault message output is triggered in automatic or manual mode, the display shows
which fault triggered the message. Both digits at bottom-left indicate the corresponding error
code. If multiple triggers occur at the same time, they are displayed one after the other cyclically.
