messages. The menu symbols of the navigation path leading to the menu page, which generates a
message, are overlain by a warning / error symbol. Thus, the operator can easily locate the error
source.
Example:
>
The following menu symbols are overlain by an error
symbol:
Main navigation bar: [AS-i 1]
Sub navigation bar: [Slaves]
>
Error source on menu page [AS-i 1] > [Slaves]
If a function unit of the device causes a warning and an error message at the same time, then
the error symbol is displayed.
