Table 19: Operating System States, User Interventions
The cycle time increases by the number of modules used in the system. This applies
irrespective of whether or not the modules are included in the configuration.
Connecting additional extension racks with several modules during operation can
cause the watchdog time to be exceeded!
4.8.2 Behavior in the Event of Faults
If faults occur, the processor module enters the error stop state and tries to restart. It performs a
complete self-test which can also cause another error stop.
If a fault is still present, the module restarts with reduced functionality to prevent a reboot loop.
Once the processor module has properly run for one minute, the next error stop to occur is
considered the first error stop attempting a restart.
Use the PADT for troubleshooting and removing the cause of the fault, e.g., by loading a new
application.
