3.5 Fault/Error Messages via LEDs
Introduction

The power supply modules of the S7-400 indicate module faults and backup

battery faults via LEDs on the front plate.

Overview of the Fault/Error Messages

Table 3-7 Error messages of the power supply modules
Type of Fault/Error LEDs
Module fault INTF
5 VDC
24 VDC
Backup battery fault Power supplies with 1 backup battery:
BAF
BATTF
Power supplies with 2 backup batteries:
BAF
BATT1F

LED
INTF DC5V DC24V Cause of Fault Remedy
D D D Standby switch in position Set standby switch to the I position
Line voltage missing Check line voltage
Internal fault, power supply module
defective Replace power supply module
Cutoff after overvoltage on 5 V or illegal
external supply Disconnect from mains and reconnect
after approximately 1 minute; if
necessary, remove external supply
Power supply module operated in
wrong slot Install the power supply module in the
correct slot (slot 1)
Short circuit or overload on 5 V Switch off the power supply module,
remove the source of the short circuit;
after approximately 3 seconds, the
power supply module can be switched
on with the standby switch or via the
power system.*
D H D Overvoltage on 24 V Check if the supply is external; if not,
replace power supply module
