5.7 Errors and warnings at the cam disk & measuring
sensor & output cam technology DB
Errors or warnings occurring at the technology object while the command is being
executed are indicated at the technology DB. This also applies if inconsistent or
illogical data were passed.
Error indications defined at the technology DB for cam disks, measuring encoders
and output cams:
• The ErrorID variable
The ErrorID variable indicates the most recent error (ErrorID = 8xxx) or
warning (ErrorID = 00xx) message of the technology object.
The value of this variable is deleted by acknowledging it with MC_Reset
(Restart = FALSE).
• The ErrorBuffer[0..2] variable
The ErrorBuffer[0..2] variable array is used to store the first three errors or
warnings (since the last acknowledgment). The first error is written to ARRAY
element 1, the second to ARRAY element 2, etc.
The value in this variable is deleted by acknowledging it with MC_Reset
(Restart = FALSE).
Acknowledging warnings
Warnings at the (ErrorID = 00xx) technology DB may, but do not need to be
acknowledged with MC_Reset.
However, note the data volume in the ErrorBuffer[0..2] variable array. You can
keep the ErrorBuffer[0..2] variable array clear for any incoming error messages by
acknowledging the errors in due time.
Acknowledging errors
To acknowledge all errors, first eliminate their cause, and then acknowledge with
MC_Reset (Restart = FALSE). The technology object can then be enabled again
by means of the MC_Power technology function.

Caution
Several unacknowledged errors may cause the CPU to go into STOP.
