System parameters are defined in Table 6-1.

Alarms are organized into four categories. Within each category, alarms are classified into three levels 
of severity. The severity level controls device behavior when the alarm condition occurs. See 
Table 6-2. 

Some alarms can be reclassified. For example:

•

The default severity level for Alarm A020 (cal. factors missing) is Fault, but you can 
reconfigure it to either Informational or Ignore.

•

The default severity level for Alarm A102 (drive over-range) is Informational, but you can 
reconfigure it to either Ignore or Fault.

If an alarm can be reclassified, the 

 function is assigned to the F1 button. If an alarm cannot be 

reclassified, the F1 button is unassigned. The alarm listings in Section 22.7 also provide information 
on which alarms can be reclassified.
