Check method
Check the error code of the CPU
module.
Check if the module has been
identified.
Check power supplied to the
master station and all slave
stations.
Check if cables between the
master station and slave stations
are not disconnected.
Check if the transmission cable is
away from the power cable.
Check if the FG terminal is
grounded separated from the
GND terminal of the power
system.
Reduce the transmission speed
and check if the frequency of
occurrence of noise is reduced.
Replace the modules and check if
the station normally operates.
Check if 'Data link stop' (SB0002)
is turned off.
Check power supplied to the faulty
station.
Check cables connected to the
faulty station.
When faulty stations occur
sequentially to one end on the
transmission path, check cables
connected to faulty stations close
to the master station.
Check if the transmission cable is
away from the power cable.
Check if the FG terminal is
grounded separated from the
GND terminal of the power
system.
Reduce the transmission speed
and check if the frequency of
occurrence of noise is reduced.
Replace modules on the faulty
station and check if the station
normally operates.
Corrective Action
Remove the CPU module error.
(MELSEC iQ-F FX5 User's
Manual (Application))
Take action so that the CPU
module may identify the master/
intelligent device module.
(MELSEC iQ-F FX5 User's
Manual (Application))
Apply the voltage within the
specified range.
Correct the wiring.
Keep the transmission cable away
from the power cable. (Keep a
distance of 100 mm or more is
recommended)
Ground the terminals separately.
• Take measures to reduce noise.
• Reduce the transmission speed.
Repair or replace the module on
the master station.
• Do not turn on 'Data link stop'
(SB0002).
• Do not write to the refresh
source device of 'Data link stop'
(SB0002) from multiple
locations.
Apply the voltage within the
specified range.
Correct the wiring.
Keep the transmission cable away
from the power cable. (Keep a
distance of 100 mm or more is
recommended)
Ground the terminals separately.
• Take measures to reduce noise.
• Reduce the transmission speed.
Repair or replace the module on
the faulty station.
