This section describes the errors relating to communications that can occur
during operation, and their remedies.
When a communications error occurs, the error message is displayed at the
NT631/NT631C, and the buzzer sounds, provided the setting made for Buzzer
Sound in the System Menu is other than OFF. An error message is displayed
provided the setting for the Comm. Auto-Return memory switch is not ON
(note that some error messages are displayed even if the setting is ON).
When an error message is displayed, after removing the cause of the error,
press the OK touch switch displayed on the screen. The NT631/NT631C will
return to the screen that was displayed before the error occurred, and opera-
tion will restart.
For communications errors, the name of the port at which the error occurred,
the error classification (send or receive error), the details of the error, the
probable cause, and the remedy, are displayed as shown below.
Example:
Parity error at serial port A

The following errors can occur when receiving data.

ing the System Program, page 145)
Also refer to 7-2-3 Errors Occurring on Screen

If this does not solve the problem, contact your
OMRON service center.
If the same message is displayed on repeating
writing of system settings several times, contact
your OMRON service center.
If writing is normally terminated after the error
message was once displayed, the Memory
Switch setting for system program may have been
altered. In such a case, check and reset the set-
ting in the Memory Switch menu of the Mainte-
nance mode.
If the same message is displayed on repeating
screen data deletion several times, contact your
OMRON service center.
