Common Causes

  • Memory write error in the internal flash or RAM, leading to instruction fetch errors.
  • Hardware malfunction in the CPU or memory components of the controller.
  • Unforeseen software state caused by an invalid parameter combination (e.g., P3-01 and P3-02 conflict).
  • Internal watchdog timer expiration due to an infinite loop or process crash.
