What it means
The drive shows this alarm under the title Recorder trigger event occurred
. It reports that a trigger event of the recorder has occurred: the drive then writes the recorded data to the memory card, specifying the event number of the trigger. No remedy is necessary and the message disappears automatically, so the alarm simply tells you that the recorder has fired.
Why it appears
- A trigger event of the recorder has occurred in the drive.
- The recorded data are then written to the memory card, marked with the event number of the triggering event.
What to check
- No measures are necessary — the message disappears automatically by itself.
Reading the message value
- The drive enters the number of the event that triggered the recorder as the alarm value.
- This alarm value can be read in r2124 and must be interpreted as a decimal number.
Parameters the manual names
- r2124 — alarm value of this message; read it as a decimal number to see the event number that triggered the recording.
