System event messages and their meanings are listed in Table C-2.
Table C-2. System Event Messages
Event Message | Event Meaning |
---|---|
NMI | A non-maskable interrupt (NMI) was entered onto the system backplane from a front panel menu option in the System Controller. |
SCLR DETECTED | The System Controller detected an SCLR on the system backplane. This reset was initiated from the System Controller front panel by an operator. |
SYSTEM OFF | The key switch was turned to the Off position and the System Controller powered off the system. |
SYSTEM ON | The System Controller has successfully powered on the system. |
SYSTEM RESET | The System Controller detected an SCLR and initiated a system boot arbitration process. SCLR can be generated by any processor board or by the System Controller. |
Table C-3 describes the internal system controller error messages that might appear on the controller's display.
Table C-3. Internal System Controller Error Messages
Error Message | Error Meaning |
---|---|
BAD ALARM TYPE | The firmware attempted to send an invalid alarm to the CPU. |
BAD MSG: CPU PROCESS | The CPU or System Controller process has received an invalid message. |
BAD MSG: DISPLAY | The display process has received an invalid message. |
BAD MSG: POK CHK | The power ok check process received an invalid message. |
BAD MSG: SEQUENCER | The sequencer process has received an invalid message. |
BAD MSG: SYS MON | The system monitor process has received an invalid message. |
BAD WARNING/ALARM | The routine that decodes alarm and warning messages detected an invalid message. |
BAD WARNING TYPE | The firmware attempted to send an invalid warning to the CPU. |
COP FAILURE | The Computer Operating Properly (COP) timer has exceeded time limits. The System Controller firmware must write to a COP timer port before it times out. If the firmware exceeds the time allowed between writes to a COP port, an interrupt is generated. The System Controller firmware may have entered an endless loop. |
COP MONITOR FAILURE | A Computer Operating Properly (COP) clock monitor failure was detected. The System Controller clock oscillator is operating at less than 10 KHz. |
DEBUG SWITCH ERROR | The System Controller detected data corruption in the nonvolatile RAM debug switch location. |
FP CONTROLLER FAULT | An error was detected in the front panel LCD screen control process. |
FP READ FAULT | A read of the front panel status register did not complete successfully. |
FREE MSG NODE ERROR | The free message node queue has overflowed. |
FREE TCB NODE ERROR | The free timer control block queue has overflowed. |
ILLEGAL OPCODE TRAP | The System Controller's microprocessor tried to execute an illegal instruction. Probably because of a stack overrun followed by a process switch. |
PULSE ACCU INPUT | An interrupt was detected on the pulse accumulator input port. The port is not used and an interrupt is treated as an error. |
PULSE ACCU OVERFLOW | The pulse accumulator overflow port received an interrupt. This port is not used and the interrupt is treated as an error. |
SPI TRANSFER | An interrupt was detected on the synchronous serial peripheral interface. This interface is not supported and the interrupt is treated as an error. |
STACK FAULT PID 0–6 | One of the seven stack areas used by a System Controller process has overflowed its assigned boundaries. |
TEMP SENSOR FAILURE | The System Controller detected an invalid measurement from the temperature sensor. |
TIMER IN COMP 1 | The timer input compare port received an interrupt. The port is not used and the interrupt is treated as an error. |
TIMER OUT COMP 1–5 | One of the five timer output compare ports received an interrupt. The port is not supported and the interrupt is treated as an error. |
XMITTER 1 TIMEOUT | The System Controller's first UART experienced a failure. |
XMITTER 2 TIMEOUT | The System Controller's second UART experienced a failure. |
