Resolving problems using BLOCK_ERR (Block Error) parameter
The
BLOCK_ERR
parameter gives the user further insight into configuration errors and operational
faults that prevent the expected operation of the device. After the error is identified the user should
take the appropriate steps to eliminate the error.
Use the
BLOCK_ERR
(Block Error) parameter to troubleshoot configuration and operation.
See
with possible block error indications depending on the block type:

Indications of the
BLOCK_ERR
(Block Error) parameter for each available block

Message
RB TRD AO AI
Description
1
0x0002 BlockConfiguration
X
X
X
X There are one or more parameters with
invalid values in the block. Refer to the
next sections for possible causes and
solutions.
5
0x0010 DeviceFaultState
X
Fault state is active. The RB is either
forcing this state or there is at least one
block with BlockConfiguration error. Refer
to the next sections for possible causes
and solutions.
6
0x0020 DeviceMaintenance
X
Check the Transducer block for further
diagnostics or invalid data.
7
0x0040 SensorFailure
X
X There is a sensor or calibration failure.
15
0x8000 OutOfService
X
X
X
X Block mode is OOS. Check target and
actual modes.
See in the following sections the explanation of block error parameter for each block type, possible
causes and fixes.
