SNAP-AIRATE-HFi reports value of 0 Hz instead of out-of-range value when field signal is below lower range


Applies To:

SNAP-PAC-R1
SNAP-PAC-R1-B
SNAP-PAC-R1-FM
SNAP-PAC-R1-W
SNAP-PAC-R2
SNAP-PAC-R2-FM
SNAP-PAC-R2-W

SNAP-PAC-SB2

Versions Affected:

Problem affects versions: Firmware R9.3c
Problem is fixed in version: Firmware R9.3e

Resolved In Version:

Problem is fixed in version: Firmware R9.3e


Symptoms:

The value returned for a SNAP-AIRATE-HFi if the field signal is disconnected or less than the specified lower operating range is 0 Hz. This value appears if the module shows less than the lower range specification (20 Hz for "20Hz Min, 0.1s Refresh (0x44)" point type, or 2 Hz for "2Hz Min, 1s Refresh (0x45)" point type). 

However, the value returned should be an out-of-range value. For the SNAP-AIRATE-HFi module, the correct out-of-range value is -2147483648.

Workaround:

Use firmware R9.3e or newer for SNAP PAC rack-mounted controllers or brains with a SNAP-AIRATE-HFi module.

Resolution:
