The Error Severity Table screen allows you to modify severity levels for error codes in the direction of a higher severity level. In addition, you can output an error code to a PLC system with a severity level of PLCWARN, or use miscellaneous error logger functions.
When the system is about to display an error message, it first checks the severity level set in the system variable $ERROR_TABLE[ ] and compares the level with the default setting. If the severity level is higher than the default setting, the error code is then posted with the modified severity level setting. The system also checks the error logger functionality and logs the error accordingly.
When software is installed for the first time on the controller, the Error Severity Table screen looks similar to Figure 1, " Error Severity Table " .
