Fault Actions

Fatal faults cause the PLC to enter a form of STOP mode at the end of the sweep in which the error occurred. Diagnostic faults are logged and corresponding fault contacts are set. Informational faults are simply logged in the PLC fault table.

Loss of, or Missing, Option Module

The Fault Group Loss of, or Missing Option Module occurs when a PCM, CMM, or ADC fails to respond. The failure may occur at power-up if the module is missing or during operation if the module fails to respond. The fault action for this group is Diagnostic.
