Troubleshooting Unit Errors
CPU Unit
Inputs
Symptom
Cause
Remedy
POWER indicator is not lit.
PCB short-circuited or damaged.
Replace Unit.
RUN indicator is not lit.
(1) Error in program (fatal error)
Correct program.
(2) Power line is faulty.
Replace Unit.
RUN indicator on the CPU Unit is lit.
Internal circuitry in the Unit is faulty.
Bits do not operate past a certain point.
Error occurs in units of 8 or 16 points.
I/O bit turns ON.
All bits in one Unit do not turn ON.
Symptom
Cause
Remedy
Not all inputs turn ON or indi-
cators are not lit.
(1) External power is not supplied for the
input.
Supply power
(2) Supply voltage is low.
Adjust supply voltage to within rated range.
(3) Terminal block mounting screws are
loose.
Tighten screws.
(4) Faulty contact of terminal block connec-
tor.
Replace terminal block connector.
Not all inputs turn ON even
though the indicator is lit.
Input circuit is faulty. (There is a short at the
load or something else that caused an over-
current to flow.)
Replace Unit.
Not all inputs turn OFF.
Input circuit is faulty.
Replace Unit.
Specific bit does not turn ON. (1) Input device is faulty.
Replace input devices.
(2) Input wiring disconnected.
Check input wiring
(3) Terminal block screws are loose.
Tighten screws
(4) Faulty terminal block connector contact.
Replace terminal block connector.
(5) Too short ON time of external input.
Adjust input device
(6) Faulty input circuit
Replace Unit.
(7) Input bit number is used for output
instruction.
Correct program.
Specific bit does not turn
OFF.
(1) Input circuit is faulty.
Replace Unit.
(2) Input bit number is used for output
instruction.
Correct program.
Input irregularly turns ON/
OFF.
(1) External input voltage is low or unstable. Adjust external input voltage to within rated
range.
(2) Malfunction due to noise.
Take protective measures against noise,
such as:
• Install surge suppressor.
• Install insulation transformer.
Install shielded cables between the Input
Unit and the loads.
(3) Terminal block screws are loose.
Tighten screws
(4) Faulty terminal block connector contact.
Replace terminal block connector.
Error occurs in units of
8 points or 16 points, i.e., for
the same common.
(1) Common terminal screws are loose.
Tighten screws
(2) Faulty terminal block connector contact.
Replace terminal block connector.
(3) Faulty data bus
Replace Unit.
(4) Faulty CPU
Replace CPU Unit.
Input indicator is not lit in nor-
mal operation.
Faulty indicator or indicator circuit.
Replace Unit.
