6-1 Overview of the monitor mode
zMonitoring the operating status
You can monitor the motor speed, command position, operation data number corresponding to the current
operation, and operation data number currently selected in real time.
A range capable to monitor with the OPX-2A is from −19,999,999 to 19,999,999 with up to eight
digit numbers. However, only seven digit numbers can be shown on the display of the OPX-2A, so
only the last seven digit numbers are shown when the monitored value is eight digit numbers, and a
dot is marked on the lower right of the display.
•Display example
Actual value −19,999,999 −10,000,001 −10,000,000 10,000,000 10,000,001 19,999,999
Displayed value −9999999. −0000001. −0000000. 0000000. 0000001. 9999999.
zChecking alarms/warnings, clearing alarm/warning records, and resetting alarms
•If an alarm or warning generates, a corresponding alarm code or warning code will be displayed. You can check the
code to identify the details of the alarm/warning.
•Up to ten most recent alarms/warnings can be displayed, starting from the latest one.
