Error Message

Explanation

 

 

Carrier:#15 Err. Alarm

The server does not support alarm functions. Polls beginning

 

 

commands not supported.

On the line immediately following this error the driver reports

the response that generated the error. The driver will store a

 

 

discrete state word not

value that is the ASCII code for the first character of the

 

 

recognized.

unrecognized word. Add a new discrete state word to the .CSV

 

 

 

file as described in Appendix A.4. §

These errors are most commonly produced when a table

writing to enable the Driver to convert the value extracted from

Carrier device or the value may not be what you expect. Refer

 

 

 

to Section 4.4.7 for more information.

 

§Correct the error by editing the configuration CSV file, downloading the corrected file to the FieldServer and then resetting the FieldServer.
