BUS-LED 5-2

Maximum output data length exceeded (Fault code 5, argument 2)

Wago · Modular I/O System PROFIBUS DP

What does BUS-LED 5-2 mean?

The total length of output data configured for the Fieldbus Coupler surpasses the maximum allowed limit (128 bytes, or 244 bytes from SW 03 onwards). This suggests that too many output modules are connected or their output data structures are excessively large, exceeding the coupler's capacity.

Common Causes

  • The number of connected output modules exceeds the coupler's maximum data capacity
  • Total configured output data length is greater than 128 bytes (or 244 bytes for SW 03+ firmware)

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Switch off the supply voltage of the coupler.

  2. 2

    Remove some I/O modules from the node to reduce the total output data length.

  3. 3

    Switch the supply voltage on again to restart the coupler.
