ROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
This chapter describes the procedures to determine the cause of problem and actions to be taken when any problem occurs while
operating the SmartAXIS.
The SmartAXIS has self-diagnostic functions to prevent the spread of problems if any should occur. In case of any problem, follow
the troubleshooting procedures to determine the cause and to correct the error.
Errors are checked in various stages. While editing a user program on WindLDR, incorrect devices and other data are rejected.
User program syntax errors are found during compilation on WindLDR. When an incorrect program is downloaded to the
SmartAXIS, user program syntax errors are still checked. Errors are also checked at starting and during operation of the
SmartAXIS. When an error occurs, the error is reported by turning on the ERR LED on the SmartAXIS Lite and an error message
can be viewed on WindLDR. For the procedure to confirm the error status and clear the error on the SmartAXIS Pro, see
"Checking/Clearing Error Information" on page 6-20.
