The library Controller Status allows to retrieve various error statuses, levels and error code from NJ or NX controller.
It also makes possible to display these statuses on NA serie HMI through an IAG (ControllerStatus.IAG) or through a web browser (FB WebControllerStatus).
Networks Reset are also available.
Restrictions:
- The library Controller Status could be used with controller including motion control axes excluding NJ101-90 !
- The EtherCat slave number is limited to 192 to enable compatibility of the library with all type of controller.
1- Function Block Controller Status
The Function block ControllerStatus expose in the structured variable following information:
- Status of EtherCAT, EthernetIP, Motion, bus CJ (CJ1W), bus NX-IO (NX)
- Slave and error code erreur
- Firmware Version of the controller
- Program Version of the controller
- User Program Version (to defined)

2- IAG Controller Status
Displays the error status, the firmware and program versions of the NJ / NX controller provided by the ControllerStatus library. Displays additional information about the error based on the error code.
The Detail button execute a research in the file SysErrDef.doc included in the ressource of the IAG.
3- Function Block WebControllerStatus
Display error status and firmware/program versions on a web browser obtained by the ControllerStatus function block. Error code have hyperlink allowing to get the troubleshouter pdf file located on Industrial.omron web site and typing the error code in the search option.
