Event Log Descriptions

This table lists and explains some of the most-commonly experienced event

descriptions found in the Event Log of the RMCT. Use this table as a reference

when determining if an event on your system requires additional

troubleshooting.

Event Description

Description

Autoqualification trigger

Something happened that caused the system to try and synchronize again. Double-click the event to see what

happened.

Blank memories rule

A check to choose a primary chassis if both chassis power up at the same time. Suppose that the controllers in one

chassis don't have projects while the controllers in the other chassis do have projects. In that case, the other chassis

becomes primary.

Chassis modules rule

A check to choose a primary chassis if both chassis power up at the same time. Suppose that one chassis has more

modules than the other chassis. In that case, the chassis with the most modules gets the first chance to become primary.

It becomes primary as long as the other chassis isn't more able to control the system.

Chassis redundancy state changed to…

The chassis changed to a different redundancy state.
PwQS — Primary with qualified (synchronized) secondary partner
QSwP — Qualified (synchronized) secondary with primary partner
DSwP — Disqualified secondary with primary partner
DSwNP — Disqualified secondary with no partner
PwDS — Primary with disqualified secondary partner
PwNS — Primary with no secondary partner
PLU — Primary locked for update
SLU — Secondary locked for update

Crossloading error

A module is not able to get some information to its partner.

Disqualified secondaries rule

A check to choose a primary chassis if both chassis power up at the same time. Suppose that the modules in one of the

chassis powered down in a disqualified secondary state. In that case, the other chassis becomes primary.

Failed modules rule

A check to choose a primary chassis if both chassis power up at the same time. Suppose that a module in one of the

chassis is faulted but its partner module in the other chassis is not faulted. In that case, the other chassis becomes

primary.

Firmware error

The redundancy module has an anomaly.

Improper mode or mode switch position

A lock for update cannot be performed if the primary controller is faulted. A lock for update or locked switchover cannot

be performed if the mode switch on either controller is not in the REM position.

Incompatible application

A lock for update cannot be performed if the project names or applications are not identical in the primary and

secondary chassis.

Initial secondary PTP time synchronization failure

When PTP is enabled on the primary partner, the secondary partner must be PTP time synchronized as well or it will not

synchronize. The initial secondary PTP synchronization attempt may fail before the automatic retry is successful. In this

case, the event reports that initial failed attempt.

Invalid application

A lock for update cannot be performed if test edits or SFC forces exist in the application.

Module insertion

The 1756-RM now sees the module on the backplane. This means the module has either just powered up, just been put

into the chassis, or just finished resetting. Double click the event to see the slot number of the module.

Module rejected lock for update command from 1756-RM

module

A module (with a slot number specified in byte 0 of the extended status) rejected the lock-for-update command. See

events from that module to determine the cause.

Module removal

The 1756-RM no longer sees a module on the backplane. This means that the module either experienced a

nonrecoverable fault, was removed from the chassis, or was reset. Double-click the event to see the slot number of the

module.
