10 Troubleshooting for IO-Link Systems
10-2 Checking for Errors and Trouble-
shooting with Tools
Error management on the IO-Link Master Unit is based on the methods used for the NJ/NX-series
Controllers.
This allows you to use the IO-Link Master Unit Configuration Tool to check the meanings of errors and
troubleshooting procedures.
The confirmation method depends on the IO-Link Master Unit Configuration Tool that is used.

Checking for Errors from the Sysmac Studio
When an error occurs, you can place the Sysmac Studio online with the Controller or the Communica-
tions Coupler Unit to check current errors and the log of past Controller errors.
Refer to the user's manual for the connected Communications Coupler Unit for information on check-
ing errors.
Current Errors
Open the Sysmac Studio's Controller Error Tab Page to check the current error's level, source, source
details, event name, event codes, details, attached information 1 to 4, and correction.
Errors in the observation level are not displayed.
Additional Information
Number of Current Errors
The following table gives the number of errors that are reported simultaneously as current er-
rors in each Unit.
NX-ILM400
GX-ILM08C
If the number of errors exceeds the maximum number of reportable current errors, errors are
reported with a priority given to the oldest and highest-level errors. Errors that exceed the limit
on simultaneous error notifications are not reported.
Errors that are not reported are still reflected in the error status.
Log of Past Errors
Open the Sysmac Studio's Controller Event Log Tab Page to check the times, levels, sources, source
details, event names, event codes, details, attached information 1 to 4, and corrections for previous
errors.
