APPENDIX A

884 PC ERROR CODES

The P190 screen includes an error line for reporting the various P1901884 PC or
Modbus communications error conditions. The error codes which may appear, and
their meanings, are listed in this appendix.
The P190 reports three distinct classes of errors: Panel, PC Link and PC Command
errors.
Type 1, Panel Error, are Modbus communications errors detected by the P19O’s
software. Both transmitted and received Modbus communications packets are
examined. Sometimes the communication attempt is repeated several times
before an error is declared.

command
008 PC response to command was busy after retry count exhausted
009 PC reponse was not legal for the current l/O command
010 PC data received greater than panel memory allocated for receive
buffer
011 PC response is busy to a poll command after retry count exhausted
012 PC response to a poll is not valid
013 PC sequence byte incorrect, reset link, error recovery accomplished
014 Message size to send to PC is greater than PC maximum
015 PC packet number not in sequence or not equal to expected value for
current operation

TYPE 2 - ERROR: PCL = XXX COMMUNICATION ERROR REPORTED

001 Command function not supported by PC

002 Reserved
003 Reserved
004 PC CPU is not operating
005 Reserved

011 Message size is greater than PC receive maximum
012 New message started before previous message completed. Previous
command aborted
013 PC reports current packet not next in sequence. Message aborted
014 Sequence error detected, error recovery successful
015 PC response message is greater than amximum message, message
aborted
All other codes are reserved.

 APPENDIX B
PC MEMORY ERROR

If the PC encounters an error, the PC Memory Error screen appears. If the error
occurs during the initial loading of the programmer and configurator tape, press
the ALL MEMORY software label key. This initializes all PC memory.

If, however, this is not the initial loading, follow the recommended directions
displayed on the screen:

INITIALIZE TABLES TO CLEAR MEMORY: C

Enter “C” and press the INIT TABLE software label key. The next screen to appear
displays two software label keys: PROCEED and CANCEL. If the CANCEL software
label key is pressed, the current operation will not be completed and you will be
returned to the previous menu.

If the PROCEED software label key is pressed, the current operation will be
performed, and the Power-up and Attach screen reappears. Press the ATTACH
software label key and the PC Operations Menu screen appears.

PASSWORD OPERATIONS

C.l PASSWORD OPERATIONS (PASSWD OPS)

Press PASSWD OPS software label key to display the Password Table.

The 884 PC and P190 use passwords to protect the 884 PC’s memory. The use of
a password is optional. If you do not enter a password, the system defaults to
Level 3. If a password has been entered it can only be changed by someone logged
on with Level 3 privleges. If you try to ATTACH to a password protected P1901884
PC and do not know the password, turn the Memory Protect key (on the P190) to
the UNLOCK position to proceed from the Password screen. There are four
password levels, each allowing a higher memory access than the previous. Level
0 does not require a password. The password can contain a maximum of eight
alphanumeric characters.

Level 0 - allows you to read any of the 884 PC’s memory except the password
table. If you ATTACH to a password protected P1901884 PC and do not know the
password, turn the Memory Protect key on the P190 to the UNLOCK position to
proceed from the Password screen. Memory cannot be altered.

Level 1 - allows you to write references, enable or disable coils and discrete
inputs and start, stop or clear the PC.

Level 2 - allows you to enter new networks and/or alter existing logic. Also the
scan rate and Modbus port parameters can be set.

Level 3 - allows you to configure the 884 PC’s I/O specifications. It also allows
the user to read and change the password table.

Access to any given level implies access to all the lower levels without use of the
associated passwords.

The password table is entered the first time the PC is configured. To enter
passwords, press the PSWD OPS software label key. The following software label
keys appear on the screen:

DELETE1 DELETE2 DELETE3

ENTER 1 ENTER2 ENTER3 WEV MENU

C.l .l Enter Password

A prompt appears on the screen: ENTER PASSWORD (MAX. 8 CHARACTERS),
THEN PRESS DESIRED LEVEL.

Type in the password and press the appropriate software label key (i.e., ENTER 2,
enters a level 2 password. When a password is entered into level 1, levels 2 and
3 receive the same password if they were previously blank, or if they contained the
same password.

When a password is entered into Level 2, level 3 receives the same password if
level 3 is blank or had the same password as level 2.
NOTE

Blanks (spaces) will not be accepted. Only printable

characters are atlowed.

C.1.2 Delete Password

To delete a password or passwords, press the shift key and appropriate software
label key: DELETE 1, DELETE 2, or DELETE 3.

If the level 3 password is deleted, and a level 2 password exists, the level 2
password is automatically displayed in level 3 as well as in level 2.
