Clearing Field Control Faults

If faults are present, pressing the HHM Clear key here has no effect. To clear faults from the Hand-held Monitor you need to do the following:

1.Return to the HHM Main Menu.

2.Press F2 (Analyze).

3.Press F3 (Block./Bus Status).

4.Make the BIU or Field Processor the active de- vice if it is not.

5.Press the Clear key.

Clearing faults from the Hand-held Monitor does not clear faults at the host PLC. To keep the entire system in step and up-to-date, fault clearing should be performed from the host PLC.
