Received packet header has invalid CRC
Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers
What does ERR_INVALID_HEADER_CRC mean?
A received Modbus TCP packet's header contained an invalid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). This indicates data corruption during transmission or an improperly formed packet originating from the sender.
Common Causes
- Network interference or noise corrupting data during transmission.
- Faulty network hardware (cables, switches, network interface card).
- Remote Modbus TCP client sending malformed packets due to software or configuration error.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check the integrity of network cabling and connections between the controller and the remote device.
- 2
Verify the remote Modbus TCP client is sending correctly formatted Modbus TCP packets.
- 3
Inspect network hardware for faults and ensure proper grounding.
- 4
Monitor network traffic with a protocol analyzer to identify the source of corruption.
