Buttons and switches
The Processor Module can be operated manually using the buttons and switches at the front panel. Meaning of the buttons and switches:
| Button | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RESET | If pressed during power-on: Enter serial download of firmware. This is signalized by flashing of the RUN LED with a frequency of 1 Hz. If pressed during normal operation: reserved for future implementation. |
| Fn | If pressed during power-on: Bootproject will not be loaded. This is signalized by flashing of the RUN LED with a frequency of 1 Hz. If pressed during normal operation: reserved for future implementation. |
| RUN/STOP | Switches the Processor Module from RUN to STOP mode. |
The AC500 Processor Module can display various errors according to the error classes. The following error classes are possible. The reaction of the Processor Module is different for each type of error.
| Error class | Type | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | Fatal error | A safe function of the operating system is no longer guaranteed. | Checksum error in the system Flash or RAM error |
| E2 | Severe error | The operating system is functioning without problems, but the error-free processing of the user program is no longer guaranteed. | Checksum error in the user Flash, independent of the task duration |
| E3 | Light error | It depends on the application, if the user program should be stopped by the operating system or not. The user should decide, which reaction is necessary. | Flash could not be programmed, I/O module has failed. |
| E4 | Warning | which only can have influence in the future. The user should decide the reaction to provide. | Short-circuit at an I/O module, the battery is exhausted or not inserted. |
