Event not present/installed (_ecEVENT_NOT_PRESENT)

What does 246 mean?

This error indicates that an event referenced in the Mint program is either not present or not installed in the drive's system. This can disrupt program flow or prevent expected actions from occurring, leading to incorrect system behavior.

• Attempting to use a Mint event (e.g., EVENT #2) that has not been defined or declared in the application program.
• Referencing an event number that corresponds to a hardware feature or option card (e.g., digital I/O event) not present on the specific drive model.
• The drive's firmware version does not support the specific event functionality being called by the Mint program.
• A syntax error in the Mint program causes a non-existent event to be implicitly referenced.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Review the Mint program code and confirm that the referenced event number (e.g., EVENT #5) is explicitly declared and configured using a valid `EVENT` or `ON` statement.

2. 2

   Cross-reference the event number with the drive's hardware configuration and ensure any associated option cards (e.g., expansion I/O) are physically installed and detected.

3. 3

   Check the drive's firmware version against the Mint programming manual to confirm support for the desired event type.

4. 4

   If the event is tied to a specific I/O (e.g., `ON INPUT1.HIGH GOSUB MyHandler`), verify that `INPUT1` is configured correctly (e.g., P8-01 (Digital Input 1 Mode)).

5. 5

   Recompile and download the Mint program to the drive after making any event declaration or configuration changes.
