PLC Fault Table

The PLC Fault Table can be accessed in PLC programming software. If you are experiencing a problem with the Ethernet Interface, check the PLC Fault Table for a fault message, then refer to the table that follows in this chapter for instructions on what to do about the problem.

To access the details of a PLC Fault Table entry:

ƒFor Windows-based PLC programming software, double-click the Fault Table entry and the details are displayed as “fault extra data”. Refer to Online Help in the PLC programming software for more information.

ƒFor Logicmaster 90 programming software, select the Fault Table entry and press <CTRL-F> to view the fault details. The “fault extra data” are the long strings of digits on the right half of the message line. Refer to GFK-0265, Logicmaster 90-70 Programming Software Reference Manual or GFK-0467, Series 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software Reference Manual, for more information.

An example of the fault extra data is shown below:

160006000300050000000000000000000000000000000000

For Ethernet Interfaces the leftmost 14 digits of fault extra data (underlined in the example above) show the corresponding log Events (2 digits) and Entries 2, 3, and 4 (in that order, 4 digits each). The example above is reporting an Event 16, Entry 2=6, Entry 3=3, and Entry 4=5.

This information can be used to refer directly to detailed fault descriptions included in the Log event table under the LOG command in GFK-1186, TCP/IP Ethernet Communications for the Series 90 PLC Station Manager Manual.
