Driver Errors

Plant SCADA has two kinds of protocol driver errors: generic and specific.

• Generic errors are hardware errors 0-31, which are common to many protocols.

• Specific errors are unique to a particular driver.

When a driver specific error occurs, the hardware alarm system will not recognize it. The driver converts the specific error into a generic error that can be identified by the I/O server.

This means a driver error may be represented by a specific error, and a corresponding generic error.

When a hardware error occurs,Plant SCADA generates an alarm and displays it on the hardware alarm page. To see the error number, you need to have Alarm Category 255 defined with a display format that includes {ErrDesc,15} {ErrPage,10}.

Refer to the Plant SCADA Help for more information on generic hardware errors.

If you need more information to resolve an error, refer to the documentation that accompanied the I/O device (or network). If, after reviewing the documentation, you still cannot solve your problem, contact Technical Support for this product.
