What does I x .Slave.Fault mean?
This boolean tag indicates that the channel data for the Modbus slave is inaccurate and should not be trusted for use in the application. A value of 1 (Bad) signifies an active fault condition originating from the slave's operation or data processing. The tag automatically resets to 0 (Good) once the condition causing inaccuracy is removed.
Common Causes
- Internal fault within the Modbus slave module affecting data integrity
- Corrupted data being processed by the slave due to external interference or source
- Misconfiguration of Modbus slave parameters leading to incorrect data handling
