time until the problem reappears. If none of these tests

reveals the problem, replace the backplane.

Bus Error

Problem: A 31" or 51"Ć54" appear on the processor module`s

LED. These error messages indicate that there was a bus error when

the system attempted to access the module. The possible causes of

this error are a missing module, a module in the wrong slot, or a

malfunctioning module. It is also possible that the user is attempting

to write to readĆonly registers on the module. Use the following

procedure to isolate a bus error:
Step 1.

Verify that the input module is in the correct slot.
Refer to figure 3.3. Verify that the slot number being

referenced agrees with the slot number defined in the

configuration task. Verify that the register numbers that

have been assigned to the variables agree with the

definitions in the configuration task.

Step 2.

Verify that the module can be accessed.
Connect the programmer to the system and run the

ReSource Software. Monitor register 14 on the module. If

the programmer is able to monitor it, the problem lies in

the application software (refer to step 3). If the

programmer cannot monitor the register, the problem lies

in the hardware (refer to step 4).

Step 3.

Verify that the user application program is correct.
The error log will contain the number of the BASIC

program statement in which the error occurred. Verify that

any variables in a statement identified in the error log that

alter the contents of memory refer only to registers 20 thru

39. These are the only registers that can be written to by

an application task.

Step 4.

Verify that the hardware is working correctly.
Systematically swap out the the interface module, the

Processor module (s), and the backplane. After each

swap, determine if the problem has been corrected before

swapping out the next item.
