Controller ID not allowed

What does 4500 mean?

The value configured for the controller ID is invalid, typically because it's already assigned, out of range (not 1-255), or zero/negative. A unique ID is crucial for the NC system to correctly identify and manage individual controllers. An invalid ID prevents the controller from being recognized and functioning within the system.

• Attempt to assign a controller ID that is already in use by another controller or device on the same network (e.g., P3-01).
• Configuration of a controller ID as zero or a negative value, which falls outside the permissible range of 1-255.
• Assignment of a controller ID greater than the maximum allowed value of 255 (e.g., P3-01 set to 256 or higher).
• The configured controller ID is not present in the NC system's bus configuration or device mapping file.
• Manual entry error when setting the controller ID via the HMI or configuration software.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   1. Review the entire network topology and configuration (e.g., EtherCAT master configuration) to identify duplicate controller IDs on the bus.

2. 2

   2. Access the controller ID parameter (e.g., P3-01, Device ID) in the affected controller and ensure it is a unique value between 1 and 255.

3. 3

   3. Compare the configured controller ID with the NC system's device assignment table to ensure consistency and validity.

4. 4

   4. If configuring a new controller, ensure its ID is unique and properly added to the system's hardware configuration file.

5. 5

   5. Power cycle the controller and the entire communication network after applying ID changes to ensure the new configuration is active.
