Fault/alarm trigger

Short description
A predefined message (fault or warning) can be triggered on the DO with the STM (Set Message) block. The fault is displayed (e.g. STARTER, AOP) and entered in
the fault buffer or warning buffer of the DO. The following applies for this block type:
The message number (fault/warning number) assigned to an instance must be in the range 51050 to 51069 (preset value is 51050)
A message number can be repeated on several instances in the DO (message can be set from different instances).
However, for performance reasons, the SFM block is not configured for multiple instantiation The figure below shows the resulting behavior when there is
multiple instantiation with the same message number for a fault at the same DO. Without an additional circuit, there is no coordination of the block
instances with the same message number (this could not be implemented anyway when the instances were to run in different sampling times). For this
reason, it is recommended that a unique message number be assigned for each instance in the DO.
The message text is predefined and cannot be changed (see table below).
The type of message cannot be changed (a fault cannot be redefined to an alarm, or vice versa)
The default setting for the fault response is OFF2. This can be changed in the SINAMICS basic system parameter:
p2100[0..19] "Setting the fault number for fault response" and
p2101[0..19] "Setting the fault response"
The default setting for the acknowledgement mode is IMMEDIATE. This can be changed in the SINAMICS basic system parameter:
p2126[0..19] "Setting fault number for acknowledge mode" and
p2127[0..19] "Sets acknowledgement mode"
The table below specifies the default settings for the attributes. Possible options for the various settings can be found in the user documentation:
Fault
The number of the fault to be triggered (F51050 - F51059) must be specified at input MN. A positive edge at input S triggers a fault at the DO. This is entered in
the fault buffer of the DO and the specified response at the DO is executed. By doing this, output Q is set by the block. Output Q remains set as long as the fault is
active. After a negative edge at input S, the fault can be acknowledged according to the acknowledgement attribute of the message (analog system faults: see first
instance in figure below).
Input MV can be used to add additional information (fault value) for the fault. The value is transferred to input S when the fault is triggered on a positive edge and
is entered in the fault buffer of the DO.
Warning
The number of the warning to be triggered (A51060 -A51069) must be specified at input MN. A positive edge at input S triggers the warning assigned to the block.
This is entered in the alarm buffer of the DO. In so doing, output Q is set. The output remains set as long as the alarm is active. Warnings are self-acknowledging
and are acknowledged when input S is reset (see figure below). Additional information (warning value), which is also entered in the warning buffer, can be added
to the warning via input MV.
Note
Rules for forwarding faults and warnings to other drive objects are described in the SINAMICS S120 Commissioning Manual as of Edition 07/2007 in Section
Diagnostics > Messages - Faults and warnings. These rules also apply for the faults and warnings that are triggered by the STM block on a drive object in the
DCC.
