Method and system for displaying equipment fault code diagnostic information
Techniques are disclosed for providing information describing a fault code for an object. A display device having an electronic display detects a fault occurrence event in the object. The display device determines a fault code indicative of the fault occurrence event and one or more parameters associated with the fault code. The display device generates a machine-readable code representing the fault code and the one or more parameters.
1. A computer-implemented method for providing information describing a fault code for an unmovable internal-combustion engine, the computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting, by execution of one or more processors of a display device coupled to the unmovable internal-combustion engine and having an electronic display, a fault occurrence event in the unmovable internal-combustion engine, the unmovable internal-combustion engine operating through the combustion of a petroleum-based fuel;
determining a fault code indicative of the fault occurrence event and one or more parameters associated with the fault code;
generating a machine-readable code representing the fault code and the one or more dynamic parameters uniquely associated with the fault code and the unmovable internal-combustion engine; and
displaying the machine-readable code on the electronic display,
wherein the electronic display comprises a control panel that monitors the unmovable internal-combustion engine, and
wherein determining the one or more dynamic parameters associated with the fault code comprises determining a geolocation associated with the unmovable internal-combustion engine.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the machine-readable code comprises:
generating an address that passes the fault code and the one or more dynamic parameters as input to a lookup function; and
generating the machine-readable code as a function of the generated address.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating a machine-readable code comprises generating a Quick Response (QR) code representing the fault code and the dynamic parameters.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the fault occurrence event comprises detecting the fault occurrence event in a diesel engine.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more dynamic parameters associated with the fault code further comprises determining at least one of a timestamp indicative of when the fault occurrence event was detected, and a serial number associated with the unmovable internal-combustion engine.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the machine-readable code comprises generating a machine-readable code readable by a mobile device.
7. A display device, comprising:
an electronic display;
one or more processors; and,
a memory storing instructions, which, when executed on the one or more processors, causes the display device to:
detect a fault occurrence event in an unmovable internal-combustion engine,
determine a fault code indicative of the fault occurrence event and one or more parameters associated with the fault code, and,
generate a machine-readable code representing the fault code and the one or more dynamic parameters uniquely associated with the fault code and the unmovable internal-combustion engine,
wherein the electronic display comprises a control panel that monitors the unmovable internal-combustion engine, and
wherein to determine the one or more parameters associated with the fault code comprises to determine a geolocation associated with the unmovable internal-combustion engine.
8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further causes the display device to present the machine-readable code on the electronic display.
9. The display device of claim 7 , wherein to generate the machine-readable code comprises to:
generate an address that passes the fault code and the one or more dynamic parameters as input to a lookup function; and,
generate the machine-readable code as a function of the generated address.
10. The display device of claim 7 , wherein to generate a machine-readable code comprises to generate a Quick Response (QR) code representing the fault code and the parameters.
11. The display device of claim 7 , wherein to detect the fault occurrence event comprises to detect the fault occurrence event in a diesel engine.
12. The display device of claim 7 , wherein to determine the one or more dynamic parameters associated with the fault code further comprises to determine at least one of a timestamp indicative of when the fault occurrence event was detected, and a serial number associated with the unmovable internal-combustion engine.
13. The display device of claim 7 , wherein to generate the machine-readable code comprises to generate a machine-readable code readable by a mobile device.
