0x0500 to 0x055F

Special I/O Unit Setting Error

Omron · CJ-series CJ2 CPU Unit

What does 0x0500 to 0x055F mean?

An installed Special I/O Unit does not match the Special I/O Unit registered in the I/O tables. This indicates a mismatch between the physical hardware and the configured settings, potentially involving synchronous unit operation. Flag A402.02 and Auxiliary Area A428 to A433 indicate the error and the problem unit number respectively.

Common Causes

  • Installed Special I/O Unit does not match the registered I/O table entry.
  • A Unit specified for synchronous unit operation does not support synchronous unit operation.
  • A Unit specified for synchronous unit operation does not exist.
  • A Synchronous Unit specified for synchronous unit operation is not on the CPU Rack (it is on an Expansion Rack).
