Self-Diagnostics Function
Checks if a problem exists with the Motion CPU.
Self-diagnostics timing
If an error occurs when the Multiple CPU system power supply is turned ON or while it is in the RUN/STOP state, the Motion
CPU detects, and displays the error, and stops operation depending on the error details.
However, depending on the error occurrence status or the instruction to execute, the Motion CPU may not be able to detect
the error. Configure safety circuits external to the Motion CPU to ensure that the entire system operates safely even in such a
case.
Error checking methods
This section describes the check methods when errors occur.
Checking by LED display
Check the following LED displays on the Motion CPU. Refer to the following for LED display details.
