This document gives a list of the fault states possible from an This section details the pseudo points in MX Version 4. The
MX panel using Version 4.0 firmware. label and group assignments relate to the UK EN54 template.
Faults are reported on the MX panel in two distinct ways.
• Using specific points used solely for fault 2.1 POINT SECTION – LOCAL I/O
reporting
When reported on the user interface or via printers, the
• Setting a ‘standard’ point into a fault state output format used for Local I/O pseudo points is:
‘Pn’ where n is the point number.
1.1 FAULT REPORTING, PSEUDO, POINTS
Within each point section there are 'pseudo' points, these points Address Pseudo Point 1
are activated when a monitored event occurs. Depending on the Label Data Packet Error
firmware driver they may be cleared after a predetermined time, Use Not used in version 4
or they may only clear when the monitored condition clears. Assigned Group 104 - Gen. Purpose Fault I/P
These conditions are reported by activating the assigned group.

Address Pseudo Point 6

Label Configuration Store
Use Panel configuration is stored in Flash chips, the data is covered by a checksum.
The panel regularly calculates the checksum and compares it to that stored, if
different this point is activated. The panel will also start a shutdown procedure
which will result in it restarting and locking into a ‘safe state’. It is considered
unsafe to use a configuration that is known to be bad.

case the Local I/O) for more than a second.
It is cleared when communication resumes.

restarting in a ‘locked’ state. It is not deemed safe to use firmware known to be
corrupt.

‘RBnn.Pmm’
where nn is the node number 0-15 and mm is the point on that node 1-8.

Note:

absence of complete nodes.
2) Some personalities will not have some of these faults configured.

allows the same information to be sent to multiple RBUS units with a single data
packet.

raised. It will be automatically cleared by the MPIM within 60 seconds.

character set EEPROM. If the calculated value does not match that stored within
the device, this fault is raised.

2.3 POINT SECTION – RBUS NODE FAULTS

When reported on the user interface or via printers, the output format used for faults reported from an RBus node faults are:

faults held by the node but the node itself.
2) This set of points are exceptions to the normal address where the first point address is ‘One’ instead here
as the RBUS units can be addressed from 0-15 the first address is ‘Zero’

Address Pseudo Point 0 - 15

where nn is the point number 01-11

Note: This section refers to faults assigned to the network card. The configuration is controlled by the use of the
options in the ‘Network Card’ dialog within Consys

unnecessary to have a common fault message in addition to a detailed message. In
these circumstances the Common fault should be disabled.

DEV. NOT SUPPORTED

Late Poll There is a background monitor of loop point 420

polling. LATE POLL
This process checks when a device is
polled, how long it has been since its last
poll. If that time is outside a tight time scale
this fault is raised.
This fault will clear when polling is within
expected parameters.
It is not expected this fault will ever be
announced, it is a required background
process for approvals.

Polling Error This fault is linked to the ‘Late Poll’ fault 421
described above. POLLING ERROR
The background monitor also scans the last
poll time of all points. If a point has not
been polled within a time window this fault
is raised.
It is not expected this fault will ever be
announced, it is a required background
process for approvals.
Window Fault The S271I+ and S271F+ devices can 433
monitor the state of their ‘window’. If this WINDOW FAULT
is found to be dirty and requires cleaning,
this fault is raised.
It is expected that dealing with this fault
will not require Tyco level service and can
be handled by the end user.

Beam Fault Beam Detector Module has detected the 448

FIRERAY (Beam detector) has raised a BEAM FAULT
fault.
