Note: If you are experiencing frequent problems downloading to 
a 3-CPU, low signal levels from the SDU computer may be the 
cause. The Buffered RS-232 Communications Cable, P/N 
SDU-CBL, may be used to correct signal level problems. Do not 
use this cable with the CPU. 
System errors 
The CPU does not send data to the SDU program. Except for 
problems with the communications between the CPU and the PC 
running the SDU program, the majority of problems with the 
runtime process are annunciated on the LCD module’s display. 
Refer to Chapter 5, “Service and Troubleshooting” for system 
error codes and their possible causes.
