Module Status / Control dialog

The dialog Module Status / Control shows all relevant Status, EventStatus and Control items for the selected module.

A module is the combination of one or multiple high voltage channels in a common housing.

The dialog Module Status / Control can be accessed the following ways:

Status

In the first column, the Status bits are displayed. These bits represent the actual module-wide status. These bits are updated whenever the status changes.

BitMeaning
Is Kill Enable All Channels are in mode Kill Enable
Is Temperature GoodThe module temperature is below 55 °C
Is Supply GoodAll supplies are in the allowed range
Is Module Good
Is Event Active
Is Safety Loop GoodThe Safety Loop is closed
Is No RampNo channel is ramping
Is No Sum Error
Is Command Complete
Is Special Mode
Is Input Error
Is Service NeededA hardware failure occured
Is Stop
Is Interlock Out
Is Adjusting All channels are in fine-adjusting state to compensate temperature drifts

Event Status

In the second colum, the module-wide EventvStatus bits are displayed. These bits represent the captured status. Whenever a Status bit changes to one, the corresponding Event Status bit is also set. In opposite to the Status bits, the EventStatus bits are not cleared automatically, but must be cleared by the user.

Clearing the module EventStatus is possible with the Button "Clear Events".

BitMeaning
Event Temperature Not GoodThe maximum temperature was exceeded
Event Supply Not GoodAt least one supply was out of range
Event Safety Loop Not GoodThe Safety Loop was open
Event Input ErrorAn input error occured
Event ServiceA hardware error was present
Event Restart

Event Mask

In the third column, the Event Mask bits are displayed. The Event Mask bits serve two purposes:

  1. Build a hierarchical error reporting chain
  2. Prevent turning on the high voltage after an error
To change the Event Mask, select the desired Mask bits and press the Button "Set Mask".

BitMeaning
Mask Temperature Not Good
Mask Supply Not Good
Mask Safety Loop Not Good
Mask Input Error
Mask Service
Mask Restart

Control

The Module Control is currently not available.
