T17:C35

Controller Internal Temperature Approaching Operating Limit (Minor Fault)

Allen-Bradley · Logix 5000 Controllers

What does T17:C35 mean?

This is a minor fault indicating that the controller's internal temperature is approaching its operating limit. It sets the Diagnostics minor fault bit and is recorded in the minor fault log, but it is not displayed on the front panel. The Diagnostics minor fault bit will clear if the temperature returns to an acceptable range; however, the minor fault record remains.

Common Causes

  • Controller internal temperature rising close to its operational limit
  • Transient environmental conditions causing a temperature increase
