3.5 Wrong warning mode

If the HMI detects something wrong from controller, it will jump automatically to warning mode, and

show error code by 8-segment.see 。During wrong warning mode, the user can
set technician parameter change, administrator parameter and HMI parameter self-change or monitor

mode. Exit these modes not back to idle but back to wrong warning mode. It will return normal status

after fixing error and resetting power.

3.6 Safety switch warning mode
If HMI test safety switch warning, it will jump automatically to safety switch warning mode, see

. During wrong safety switch warning mode, the user can set technician parameter,
administrator parameter and HMI parameter self-change or monitor mode. Exit these modes not back

to idle but back to wrong warning mode.（It is reunification
