This fault signifies a failure in the initial communication process between CPU modules in a multiple CPU system. It is triggered by a lack of response from a target CPU module or the presence of an incompatible CPU module within the system. The error occurs at power ON or reset, causing the multiple CPU system to stop.
Multiple CPU Initial Communication Stage Error
This error indicates a lack of response from a target CPU module during the initial communication stage within a multiple CPU system. This diagnostic occurs at power ON or reset. If this error persists after basic troubleshooting, it suggests a potential hardware fault within one of the CPU modules. The system will stop.
Multiple CPU System Communication Data Error
This fault indicates a data error occurring during communication between CPU modules in a multiple CPU system. It can be caused by issues in the system configuration, such as exceeding the allowed number of I/O points, or by a hardware fault within a CPU module. The error is always monitored and will lead to the CPU stopping.
I/O Module Verification Error
This error signifies a change in the status of an I/O module from its initial power-on state. The register D9116/SD1116 stores a bit pattern indicating the specific module number (in units of 16 points) with the verification error. This verification is conducted on I/O modules located on remote I/O stations. If the normal status is restored, the error is not automatically cleared and requires a user program to clear it.
