Thermal2 Command
sys fault [<point> (on|off)]

Variables point Specifies the fault point from 0 to 5.

Description Display / configure the fault configuration. System faults will monitor the state of the system and if required, abort plots in progress or block the launching of plots. System faults only represent a fraction of the fault conditions that the exposure head will detect. However, other fault conditions can only be detected while a plot is in progress.

The monitor command sys fault will display the fault configuration. The information displayed for each system fault is as follows:

<Point> <Name> <State> <Mask>

The system faults that will abort plots in progress or block the launching of plots are as follows:
  • Safety Loop
  • Control Board Temperature
  • Focus Driver Temperature
  • +5 Volts
  • +3.3 Volts
  • -5 Volts
  • +40 Volts
  • +15 Volts
  • Data Cable
  • Stroke Clock

The fault state will be one of the following:
  • Fault
  • Normal

The fault mask will be one of the following:
  • On
  • Off

The monitor command sys fault <point> (on|off) will configure the fault masks.

Notes Thermal 1.0 / 1.7x equivalents:
  • The monitor command sys fault [<point> (on|off)] is comparable to head mask (on|off) <flag>.
