0020
MINOR ERROR AT END-OF-SCAN DETECTED
Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers
What does 0020 mean?
A minor fault bit (any of bits 0-7) in status file S:5 was set at the end of a program scan. This is a recoverable fault, indicating a minor issue that doesn't halt the controller immediately but should be addressed to prevent potential operational problems.
Common Causes
- Instruction logic encountered a minor error condition (e.g., math overflow, division by zero, invalid data conversion).
- Data manipulation or calculation resulted in a minor fault condition not severe enough for a major fault.
- Configuration error in specific instructions that trigger minor errors.
Repair Steps & Checklist
