Description

Possible Cause

Counteraction

2-1

PDSP pack-age
check-sum

System communication failed.

A strong EMI pulse.

Extensive measures to thor-oughly earth the de-
vice is needed.
Find the EMI sources e.g. contactors without free
wheeling diodes.

2-2

Wrong PDSP SW
version

The version of the peripheral DSP
does not support the version of the
main DSP.

The peripheral DSP wasn’t suc-
cessfully refreshed during a soft-
ware update.
Newest parameters aren’t loaded
after a software update.

You have to follow the Soft-ware update instruc-
tions in the manual.

2-3

PDSP fault

An internal error occurred.

In the case of repeated occur-
rence refer to customer support.

2-4

Write queue over-
run

An internal error occurred.

In the case of repeated occur-
rence refer to customer support.

2-5

Too many PDSP
packages

An internal error occurred.

In the case of repeated occur-
rence refer to customer support.

2-6

SCI check-sum

Various errors on interface RS232.

Interference on the RS232 cable.

Extensive measures to thor-oughly earth the de-
vice is needed.
Use a shorter cable.
Use a shielded cable.
Prevent ground loops. Use a voltaic isolated
RS232 interface.
Find the EMI sources
e.g. contactors without free wheeling diodes.

2-7

SCI parity

Various errors on interface RS232.

Wrong RS232 timings are set
(baud rate, stop bit, parity bit, ...).

Correct the settings according to the device man-
ual.

2-8

SCI overrun

Various errors on interface RS232.

Wrong RS232 timings are set
(baud rate, stop bit, parity bit, ...).

Correct the settings according to the device man-
ual.

2-9

SCI framing

Various errors on interface RS232.

Level switching on RS232 Inter-
face while PC/Laptop is switched
on/off .

Plug in the RS232 cable after booting PC/laptop
and re-move it before shut-down.
Update the peripherals DSP to at least version
0.11.
