This DataType is an enumeration that defines the various fault states that may be supported by an object. Its values are defined in Table 158.

Value

Description

NoFaultDetected

0

The present value is reliable; that is, no other fault has been detected.

NoSensor

1

No sensor is connected to the Input object.

OverRange

2

The sensor connected to the Input is reading a value higher than the normal operating range. If the object is a Binary Input, this is possible when the Binary state is derived from an analog sensor or a binary input equipped with electrical loop supervision circuits.

UnderRange

3

The sensor connected to the Input is reading a value lower than the normal operating range. If the object is a Binary Input, this is possible when the Binary Input is actually a binary state calculated from an analog sensor.

OpenLoop

4

The connection between the defined object and the physical device is providing a value indicating an open circuit condition.

ShortedLoop

5

The connection between the defined object and the physical device is providing a value indicating a short circuit condition.

NoOutput

6

No physical device is connected to the Output object.

UnreliableOther

7

The controller has detected that the present value is unreliable, but none of the other conditions describe the nature of the problem. A generic fault other than those listed above has been detected, e.g., a Binary Input is not cycling as expected.

ProcessError

8

A processing error was encountered.

MultiStateFault

9

The FAULT_STATE, FAULT_LIFE_SAFETY or FAULT_CHARACTERSTRING fault algorithm has evaluated a fault condition.

ConfigurationError

10

The object's properties are not in a consistent state.

CommunicationFailure

12

Proper operation of the object is dependent on communication with a remote sensor or device and communication with the remote sensor or device has been lost.

MemberFault

13

Indicates that the set of referenced member objects includes one or more Status_Flags properties whose FAULT flag value is equal to TRUE.

MONITORED_OBJECT_FAULT

14

Indicates that the monitored object is in fault.

TRIPPED

15

The end device, such as an actuator, is not responding to commands, prevented by a tripped condition or by being mechanically held open.

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 159.
