9 Troubleshooting
Possible Solutions
• Check for wiring errors.
• Correct the wiring.
Check disconnected cables and short
circuits and repair as needed
• Prevent noise in the control circuit,
main circuit, and ground wiring.
• If you identify a magnetic contactor
as a source of noise, install a surge
absorber to the contactor coil.
• Use only recommended cables or
other shielded line. Ground the shield
on the controller side or the drive
input power side.
• Separate all communication wiring
from drive power lines. Install an
EMC noise filter to the drive power
supply input.
• Counteract noise in the master
controller (PLC).
If there are no problems with the wiring
and the error continues to occur, replace
the option.
• The option Requested Packet Interval
(RPI) timer timed out
• Make sure that RPI time is set
properly
1. Find the device that caused the
external fault and remove the caus.
2. Clear the external fault input from
the controller.
Examine the operation of the controller
program.
Connect the option to the correct
connector.
• Use connector CN5-A when you
connect the option.
To use other options, refer to those
option manuals.
