Activation System Error bits

The System Error variable is indicated by bit number 7. This bit checks whether the system is running properly. If one of certain malfunctions occur, the System Error will be set as 0 and the FTS will be activated. Othwerwise, if everything is OK, it will remain as 1.

Warning

This bit works different for Autopilot 1x and Arbiter. This explanation is for Arbiter.

The System Error will be triggered and remain as 0 if one of the following unwanted events happens:

  • An error occurred with System power up according to bit 12.

  • RAM allocation is in error state due to try using more memory than available, this is indicated with a 0 on bit 8.

  • CAN A bus is not working, hence bit 73 is set as 0.

  • CAN B bus is not working, hence bit 74 is set as 0.

  • One of the internal voltages is not in range, i.e. bit 5 of one of the Autopilots 1x is set as 0.

  • There is not any autopilot alive.

  • Low priority task frequency is not correct, i.e. bit 400 is set as 0.

  • Acquisition task frequency is not correct, i.e. bit 402 is set as 0.

Lists of variables

This section shows the variables employed by Veronte Autopilot 4x, both variables of the Arbiter and of Autopilots 1x.

A suitable configuration of the Autopilots 1x is key for ensuring proper communication and operation of the Autopilot 4x. Consider the structure of Arbitration messages, and consult the Lists of variables section of 1x Software Manual for further information.

Bit Variables
