7 pulses (arg 0)

Process Data Length Mismatch

Beckhoff · CX2100-0914 Embedded PC

What does 7 pulses (arg 0) mean?

The K-bus ERR LED flashes 7 times, with '0' in the argument sequence, indicating a discrepancy where the process data lengths of the set configuration and the actual configuration do not correspond. This means the TwinCAT configuration does not match the physical Bus Terminal setup.

Common Causes

  • Process data input/output length mismatch between controller and bus terminals.
  • Configuration error in the size of process data.
  • Faulty bus terminal sending incorrect data length.
  • Mismatch in the defined PDO (Process Data Object) configuration.

  1. 1

    Check the TwinCAT configuration of the K-bus, verifying that the configured types and number of Bus Terminals are consistent with the physically installed hardware. Pay attention to process data sizes defined for each terminal.
