6.3 Fatal Error Handling
Any failures that occur during power-up or firmware update mode are considered fatal errors. This
includes faults detected on non-critical devices such as the USB port. After successful power-up of the
PROFINET Scanner, only catastrophic errors are treated as fatal. When a fatal error occurs, the PROFINET
scanner blinks an error code on its LEDs (refer to Section 2.1.8.1, Fatal Error Codes).
Certain conditions can prevent the module from powering up and becoming operational or entering
firmware update mode:
