SIMPLEX Fault Assistance Guide RevA
29 April 2009
NOTE: The software produces the following error messages from a series of built-in
checks which are performed during the operating of the FIP outputs. It is highly
unlikely that such errors will occur. If one does, the operator should inform the
service company and have them check it.
• “No equations have been found but some were expected”. This
indicates a conflict in the information stored in the EEPROM
database.
• Invalid Opcode - An invalid token has been encountered in an
equation.
• Range error - This occurs when an out of range value is found
such as a timer number greater than 64 or an ancillary relay
number greater than 3.
• Stack error - The execution stack in the RAM has overflowed or
under-flowed.
• Link error - An invalid value has been found in a link field in an
equation.
• Invalid MAF output - This indicates a conflict in information
stored in the EEPROM database. An equation has been found
to control an ancillary or MAF relay but was not expected.
• NA (New Alarm) function RAM limit exceeded - This indicates
too many NA functions have been used in the programming of
Output Logic functions.
• Netvar SID not present - This error occurs if a network variable
in the output logic specifies a SID which is not present in the
SID list of this panel. Every SID for which Netvars are to be
accessed must be entered into the SID list of this panel.
• Zone command range error - An equation to isolate/de-isolate
or reset a zone or range of zones had an invalid zone number.
17. System/Auto Test circuit test fail
A circuit test failed during system or Auto Test or an unexpected fault or alarm
occurred during the test. The Brigade fault relay is turned on when this fault is
present. The fault will be cleared by a successful system or Auto Test. Isolating the
faulty circuit & performing a system test should allow the test to pass & clear the
fault.
18. Shift register bus fault
This error indicates a fault with the bus connecting the Controller with the MAF/PSU,
zone modules and relay modules. It may be caused by a break or short in the flat
ribbon cable (e.g. bd unplugged), by temporary noise, or by a circuit board fault.
NOTE: When this fault occurs all processing of inputs stops until the fault clears. If
the fault does clear, processing of inputs resumes automatically.
