F402

Failure of 2 consecutive MDT signals

Indramat · DIAX 04

What does F402 mean?

The DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive failed to receive two consecutive Master Data Telegrams (MDT) from the master controller. The MDT carries critical command and data information. This is a communication breakdown, indicating that the drive is not receiving necessary instructions, leading to an immediate shutdown to prevent uncontrolled operation.

Common Causes

  • Interruption or severe degradation of the real-time communication link (e.g., Sercos) to the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive.
  • Master controller experiencing issues transmitting MDTs or is temporarily halted.
  • Faulty communication interface or hardware on the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive.
  • Incorrect network configuration or timing parameters (e.g., S-0-0012) causing data loss.
  • Excessive electromagnetic interference impacting communication signal integrity.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect the communication cable (e.g., fiber optic, Ethernet) connecting the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive to the master controller. Check for physical damage, proper termination, and secure connections.

  2. 2

    Verify the status of the master controller and ensure it is actively transmitting MDTs. Check its diagnostic logs.

  3. 3

    Check communication ring integrity (if applicable) for breaks or faulty nodes. Bypass or isolate sections to identify the problematic segment.

  4. 4

    Review and verify communication parameters (e.g., S-0-0012, S-0-0013) in the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive and the master controller for consistency.

  5. 5

    Monitor communication diagnostic indicators on both the master and the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS. If the fault persists, consider a faulty communication interface on the drive.
