Error Reading UPS Status Data

What does 0x8003 mean?

The function block output `nErrId` shows 0x8003, indicating an error occurred while attempting to read status data from the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This may stem from communication issues or limitations of the specific UPS device's ability to provide certain status information.

• The UPS is unable to transmit its current status data (e.g., battery charge, load, voltage).
• Internal error within the UPS preventing status reporting.
• Communication interface on the UPS is malfunctioning.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   First, address any underlying UPS communication errors (e.g., error code 0x8002).

2. 2

   Consult the specific UPS device's manual to confirm which status information (e.g., BatteryLifeTime, BatteryReplace-Status) it is capable of delivering.

3. 3

   Ensure the `bEnable` input of the FB_GetUPSStatus function block is continuously set to `TRUE` to cyclically request status updates.
