Protocol to Error Message Output

Hi together,
is there a way to display incoming error messages from RS485/ Ethercat in a meaningful and easy way?
Aka take the error IDs each device sends into one pin each and convert them into a user-readable message.

E.g. Spindle Error Output sends error 21 (or 70 other errors)
It gets taken and looked up into a table what the ID stands for and displays the corresponding Message:
"Drive over-load (oL)"

Classic approach to my understanding would be to split up the int into bits, combine it together with ands and then create 70 pins that trigger the message display in the Interface. (Gmoccapy in my case)

Is there an easier way to do that?
In programming I would just create a file that gets fed into an array and then a loop that goes through that and spits out the message.

Just want to check before writing something that is already existing?

All the best
Fritz

I don't think that there is anything existing other than the "message" component and that would require the tangle of HAL that you describe.

This seems like a job for a Python userspace component.

If you do write it, consider submitting it to the project for inclusion.

Qtvcp/QtDragon and Gmoccapy have most of what you need:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/qtvcp-...#_code_messages_code
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/gmocca...ration-user-messages

Sounds like you need one that uses a S32 HAL pin to select the message.
Is it just the change in the S32 that would change the messages or would there be a trigger but pin?
