Configurable Faults

The table below shows the configurable faults and their fault action defaults. There are three fault actions: Fatal, Non-Fatal, and Conditionally Fatal. Fatal always stops the PLC, Non-Fatal never stops the PLC and Conditionally Fatal stops the PLC depending on other information in the fault. Note that Non-Fatal and Diagnostic have the same meaning.

	LOSS_OTHR_MOD	PLC	Loss of or Missing Option Module	Non-Fatal	Yes	Non-Fatal

	SYS_BUS_ERROR	PLC	System Bus Error	Fatal	Yes	Fatal

	IOC_FAULT	I/O	IOC or I/O Bus Fault	Non-Fatal	Yes	Conditionally Fatal

	CNFG_MIS_MTCH	Both	System Configuration Mismatch	Fatal	Yes	Non-Fatal

	IOC_SOFTWR	I/O	IOC Software Failure	Fatal	Uses LOSS_IOC	Conditionally Fatal
					setting

The two fault groups IOC_FAULT and IOC_SOFTWR faults are fatal to the system (force the PLC to STOP FAULT mode) if the fault is Fatal to the Genius Bus Controller that logged the fault. When a module logs a fault it notifies the PLC whether or not it can continue by placing Fatal or Diagnostic in the fault action of the fault entry. The PLC shuts the Genius Bus Controller down on all Fatal faults.

*Even if the LOSS_IOC fault is configured as Fatal for non-synchronized operation, the PLC will not go to STOP/FAULT mode unless both Genius Bus Controllers of a dual bus pair fail.
