Multiple CPU System Layout Error (CPU Placement)

Mitsubishi Electric · MELSEC System Q/L Series

What does 2126 mean?

This error occurs in multiple CPU systems due to incorrect placement of CPU modules. It is triggered by empty slots existing between a QCPU and another QCPU or motion controller. Additionally, mounting any module other than a High-performance model QCPU/Process CPU (including motion controllers) to the left of a High-performance model QCPU/Process CPU will also cause this error. The CPU will stop operation.

Common Causes

  • Empty slots are present between CPU modules (QCPU and QCPU/motion controller) in a multiple CPU system.
  • A module other than a High-performance model QCPU or Process CPU is mounted to the left of a High-performance model QCPU/Process CPU.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  2. 2

    Remove any incorrect module mounted to the left of a High-performance model QCPU/Process CPU.

  3. 3

    Mount the High-performance model QCPU/Process CPU on an empty slot, ensuring the motion CPU is mounted to its right-hand side.
