Lightpipe parameter

[AndreasL]

Hello,

A customer asked how to mirror the lightpipe function of the drive in their hmi.

I've tried to find a parameter that shows the current lightpipe color without success.

It is documented in the manual wich color means what, but seems like reinventing the wheel.

Anyone has done this in some way?

A meaningful display of the drive diagnostics should be realized via parameters S-0-0390 or S-0-0095.

The light pipe control can be seen in parameter P-2990.0.7.
With the double-axis module, the axis with the smallest value (= highest priority) is displayed.
see example

It seems it's not possible to read that parameter via the AT as its not avaiable in S-0-0187.0.0.

Is this by design or just a misstake?

[DepecheMode]

This is intentional!
Only "important" parameters can be transmitted in the cyclic channel.
It is not possible to transfer the P2909.0.7 into the AT, not even in the future!
For diagnostics please configure S-0-0390 into the AT!

I've attached a IndraWorks 15 export with a function block for reading and visualizing the lightpipe colors.

The lightpipe status (P-0-2990.0.7) will be able to be read in the cyclic channel starting with firmware 03V16 !
