What does I x .ASCII.Fault mean?

This boolean tag indicates that the channel data for the Generic ASCII protocol is inaccurate and cannot be trusted by the application. A value of 1 (Bad) signifies an active fault condition within the module or its communication specific to the ASCII channel. The tag automatically resets to 0 (Good) once the condition causing the inaccuracy is removed.

Common Causes

  • Inaccurate or corrupted data received from the Generic ASCII device
  • Internal module processing fault for ASCII data
  • Communication issue with the Generic ASCII device (e.g., incorrect protocol settings, cabling problem)
