Non-Configurable Fault Group

The table below shows the non-configurable faults and their fault action defaults.

Fault Actions

Fault Group Table

Type Description Not Synchronized Synchronized

SYS_BUS_FAIL PLC System bus failure. Fatal Fatal
NO_USER_PRG PLC No User's Program on Power-up. Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
BAD_USER_RAM PLC Corrupted User RAM detected on
Power-up. Fatal Fatal
WIND_CMPL_FAIL PLC Window Completion Failure in
Constant Sweep Mode (i.e., all windows
failed to receive their allotted time).
Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
PASSWD_FAIL PLC Password Access Failure. Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
NULL_SYS_CNFG PLC NULL System Configuration for RUN
Mode. Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
CPU_SOFTWR PLC PLC CPU Software Failure. Fatal Fatal
TOO_MANY_IOCS PLC More than the all owable number of I/O
Bus Controll ers were fou nd in the
system. Fatal Fatal
SEQ_STORE_FAIL PLC Communication failure during a store
operation by the progra mmer. This
fault results when the start-of-store
sequence was received but not an end-
of-store sequence.
Fatal Fatal
ADD_RCK PLC Addition of Extra Rack Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
ADD_IOC I/O Addition of or Extra IOC Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
ADD_IO_MOD I/O Addition of or Extra I/O M odule Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
ADD_OTHR_MOD PLC Addition of, Reset of, or Extra Option
Module Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
IO_MOD_FAULT I/O I/O Module Fault Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
CPU_HARDWR PLC CPU Hardware Failu re Fatal Fatal
MOD_HARDWR PLC Modul e Hardware Fai lure (for exampl e,
Serial Port Failure on PCM Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
MOD_OTHR SOFTWR PLC Option Module Softwar e Failure Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
PRG_BLK_CHKSUM PLC Program Block Checksum Mismatch Fatal Fatal
LOW_BATTERY PLC Low Battery in the System Non-Fatal N on-Fatal
CNST_SW_EXCD PLC Constant Sweep Exceeded Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
PLC_FTBL_FULL PLC PLC Syst em Fault Table Full Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
IO_FTBL_FULL PLC I/O Fault Table Full Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
APPLICATION_FLT PLC User Application Fault Non-Fatal Non-Fatal
Fatal Faults on Both Units in the Same Sweep

It is very unlikely that a fatal fault would occur on both units in the same sweep. If that should

happen, however, the CPU will consult the synchronized fault action table for one unit and the not-

synchronized fault action table for the other. That will allow one of the units to stay in Run mode

when the synchronized fault action is Fatal and the not-synchronized fault action is Non-Fatal.
