Clearing Non-fatal Errors without the CX-Programmer
1. Clearing User-defined Non-fatal Errors
When FAL(006) is executed with N set to 0, non-fatal errors can be cleared.
The value of S will determine the processing, as shown in the following ta-
ble.
S
&1 to &511 (0001 to 01FF hex) The FAL error of the specified number will be
FFFF hex
0200 to FFFE hex or word
specification
2. Clearing Non-fatal System Errors
There are two ways to clear non-fatal system errors generated with
FAL(006).
• Turn the PLC OFF and then ON again.
• When keeping the PLC ON, the system error must be cleared as if the
specified error had actually occurred.
