CAN-IN1 Event/Time Communication Error

Lenze · 8200 Series

What does ce3 mean?

A communication error has occurred on CAN-IN1 during event or time-controlled operation, indicating faulty data or interrupted communication. This can stem from loose bus module connections or issues with the transmitting device. Loss of critical event or time-based communication can disrupt synchronized operations.

Common Causes

  • Intermittent connection or loose seating of the CAN-IN1 communication module.
  • Corrupted data packets on the CAN-IN1 bus due to signal integrity issues (e.g., reflections, noise).
  • Timing discrepancies or delays in message transmission or reception for event/time-critical data on CAN-IN1.
  • Incorrectly configured transmit or receive parameters for specific CAN-IN1 telegrams (e.g., P8-05, P8-06).
  • Sporadic high bus load or device malfunction causing dropped or delayed time-sensitive messages.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect the CAN-IN1 communication module and connector for any signs of intermittent contact or damage.

  2. 2

    Check the CAN-IN1 bus cabling for any intermittent shorts or open circuits by gently flexing the cable while monitoring communication status.

  3. 3

    Verify that the configured baud rate (P8-01) for CAN-IN1 matches all devices and is sufficient for the real-time event/time-controlled data exchange.

  4. 4

    Review specific CAN-IN1 event/time control parameters (e.g., P8-05 for telegram type, P8-06 for timeout) and ensure they are appropriately configured for the application.

  5. 5

    Temporarily disconnect non-essential devices from the CAN-IN1 bus to isolate the source of high bus load or interference.
