Modbus Slave Channel Data Uncertain
Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module
What does I x .Slave.Uncertain mean?
This boolean tag indicates that the channel data for the Modbus slave might be inaccurate, with an unknown degree of unreliability. A value of 1 (Uncertain data) suggests potential issues with data integrity, though not a definitive fault. The tag automatically resets to 0 (Good data) once the condition causing uncertainty is removed.
Common Causes
- Intermittent communication issues from the Modbus master to the slave
- Temporary internal data processing anomalies in the slave module
- Marginal operating conditions (e.g., fluctuating power, environmental factors) affecting data integrity
