K-bus Data Error - Break Behind Power Supply

Beckhoff · CX2100-0914 Embedded PC

What does 4 pulses (arg 0) mean?

The K-bus ERR LED flashes 4 times, with '0' in the argument sequence, indicating a K-bus data error where a break is detected immediately behind the power supply unit. This specific error often occurs if the Bus End Terminal is missing or incorrectly installed.

Common Causes

  • Discontinuity in the K-bus power supply path before the bus terminal.
  • Power module failure upstream of the bus terminal.
  • Loose connection in the K-bus power distribution.
  • Internal fault in a preceding bus terminal.
