ERROR MONITORING AND ALARM OUTPUT
Rev F3, Page 30/43
iC-MQ monitors the input signals, the internal interpola-
tor and the sensor supply controller via which the input
signal levels are stabilized. If the sensor supply tracking
unit reaches its control limits this can be interpreted as
an end-of-life message, for example.
Three separate error masks stipulate whether error
events are signaled as an alarm via I/O pin ERR (mask
EMASKA), whether they cause the RS422 line drivers
to shutdown or not (mask EMASKO) or whether they
are stored in the EEPROM (mask EMASKE).
Alarm Output: I/O-pin ERR
Pin ERR is operated by a current-limited open-drain
output driver and has an internal pull-up which can be
disabled. The ERR pin also acts as an input for external
system error messaging and for switching iC-MQ to test
mode for which a voltage of larger than VTMon must
be applied (see page 33). Interpretation of an external
system error message and the phase of the message
output is configured by EPH, the minimum indication
time by EMTD.

Error event
Line count error (wrong count of sine periods
between two zero pulses)
Temporal tracking error (out-of-sync: position output
differs from actual angle, e.g. after cycling power)
Loss of tracking (excessive input frequency)
Configuration error
(SDA or SCL pin error, no acknowledge signal from
EEPROM or invalid check sum)
Excessive temperature warning
Ungated index enable signal Z_In
(comparated X1/X2 inputs for CFGABZ and
CFGZPOS adjustment, at EMTD = 0x0)
Control error 2: range at max. limit
Control error 1: range at min. limit
Signal error 2: clipping
Signal error 1: loss of signal (poor differential
amplitude**, wrong s/c phase)
Function
Enable: event changes state of pin ERR
(if EMASKO does not disable the output function).
Disable: event does not affect pin ERR.
*) Pin ERR can not pull low on configuration error,
use high-active error logic instead (EPH = 1);
**) Also due to excessive input signals or internal
signal clipping.

Line Count Error
Line count monitoring is particularly interesting for en-
coder systems. iC-MQ counts the number of sine cycles
between two adjacent zero pulses and compares it to
the reference value LINECNT. In case of a deviation
the line count error is set. The check is paused if the
direction of rotation changes, and is restarted on the
next zero pulse. During mode System Test signal TP1
indicates when a first line count check has finished.

Excessive Temperature Warning
Exceeding the temperature warning threshold T_w (cor-
responds to T₂, refer to Temperature Sensor, page
16) can be signaled at pin ERR or used to shut down
the line drivers (via mask EMASKO). The temperature
