Safety bus communication error

What does F3160 mean?

This non-fatal safety error indicates a communication failure on the safety bus (e.g., PROFIsafe, FSoE) connected to the IndraDrive MPx02. Reliable communication is critical for transmitting safety-relevant commands and feedback, and an error means these signals are not exchanged properly.

• Disruption of the safety bus communication cable (e.g., broken wire, loose connection).
• Incorrect safety bus address or configuration parameters in the IndraDrive MPx02 or the safety PLC.
• Failure of the safety bus master or a slave device.
• High levels of electromagnetic interference on the safety bus line.
• Incorrect or missing termination resistors on the safety bus.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the physical safety bus cable (e.g., PROFIsafe cable, FSoE fiber) for damage, loose connectors, or improper shielding.

2. 2

   Verify the safety bus communication parameters, including addresses and baud rates, in both the IndraDrive MPx02 and the safety PLC.

3. 3

   Check the status indicators (LEDs) on the IndraDrive MPx02 and the safety PLC for communication faults.

4. 4

   Ensure correct termination resistors are installed on the safety bus network, if required by the bus type.

5. 5

   Monitor the safety bus communication traffic using appropriate diagnostic tools to identify the source of the disruption.
