If the module has experienced one or more faults – e.g. interlock intervention,
over-temperature, etc. – the home page screen would display the faults, turning also the
module OFF.
The power supply latches on every fault that is recognized by the internal logic,
so that every type of fault is recorded: this means that the first happening fault does not
ban the other ones to be recorded, permitting a better investigation of the fault cause.
