Troubleshooting

Unit-Side Error Codes

Unit-side error codes appear on the unit’s operator. Causes of the errors and corrective

actions are listed in

Table 6

.

For additional error codes that may appear on the operator screen, refer to the instruction

manual for the unit the MECHATROLINK-II Option is connected to.

Faults

Both bUS (MECHATROLINK-II Option Communication Error) and EF0 (External Fault

Input from the MECHATROLINK-II Option) can appear as an alarm or as a fault. Unit

parameters can determine these responses between an alarm and a fault. When a fault

occurs, the digital operator ALM LED remains. When an alarm occurs, the digital operator

ALM LED flashes.
If communication stops while the unit is running, answer the following questions to help

remedy the fault:

• Is the MECHATROLINK-II Option properly installed?

• Is the communication line properly connected to the MECHATROLINK-II Option? Is it

loose?

• Is the PLC program working? Has the PLC CPU stopped?

• Did a momentary power loss interrupt communications?

A data error occurred due to

noise

Check the various options available to minimize the effects of noise.

ground wiring.

If a magnetic contactor is identified as a source of noise, install a surge absorber to

the contactor coil.

Use cables specified.
