10.1.2 Initializing error information of the serial communication module

MELSEC-Q

This section explains the ERR. LED ON factors and the error code initialization (clear) for the Q series C24.

(1) ERR. LED ON factors

When any of the following errors occurs, its error code is stored in the buffer memory corresponding to the interface (CH) where the error occurred, and the ERR. LED turns on.

(2)Turning off the ERR. LED and initializing the error codes by GX Configurator-SC (Refer to Section 8.6.10)

(a) When turning off the ERR. LED and initializing the error codes

By making the CH ERR. clear request on the "Monitor/Test" screen, the ERR. LED of the Q series C24 turns off and the stored error codes are initialized.

(b) When initializing the communication error information

By making the Communication error clear request for CH and to turn LED off on the "Monitor/test others" screen, the LEDs (ERR., NEU.) of the Q series C24 turn off and the communication error information is initialized.

(3)Turning off the ERR. LED and initializing the error codes by sequence program

(a)Input signals used to notify of error occurrences and output signals used to initialize the error code

I/O signal

 

Name of status information

Description/function

Input signal

 

XE

Error occurrence on CH1 side

Turns on upon error occurrence in CH1 interface.

 

XF

Error occurrence on CH2 side

Turns on upon error occurrence in CH2 interface.

 

 

Output signal

 

YE

CH1 Error information initialization request

Turns on when initializing error code of interface on CH1 side.

 

YF

CH2 Error information initialization request

Turns on when initializing error code of interface on CH2 side.

 

 

Initialization of error code is continuously performed when output signal (YE/YF) is on.

POINT

The CHn side error information can be initialized by an off request to the LED off request area (address 1H) of the buffer memory. By using output signals YE to YF, the error codes stored in the above buffer memory can further be initialized (cleared).
