What to do when faults occur 
If a C300 Controller fails, it will not fail into a state that should cause unsafe process 
conditions.  When a fault occurs, you should try and gather as much information as 
possible related to the event, such as the status of the controller, the conditions or 
sequence of events that occurred before the fault. Refer to the section Gathering  
Information for reporting problems to Honeywell for a list of information.  This 
information can be gathered from various sources in the system.  Refer to the section  
Initial checks for guidance in obtaining information from displays, diagnostic tools and 
log files within the Experion LX system.  Read the topics in this section that includes 
troubleshooting procedures to clear faults.  Refer to the section Getting Further  
Assistance for more information. 
 
10.3 
Initial checks 
This section offers some checks that you can make to help isolate the problem. The 
checks are arranged in no particular order. 
 
Checking Control Builder error code reference 
An indication of a problem may be in the form of an error dialog that includes an error 
message and possibly an error code in Control Builder. 
The syntax for a typical Control Builder error message is as follows: 
Connection to device is not open 
EPKS_E_CL_NOCONN(6L.101.3326)
 
In this syntax, the error code is the last four digits in the message or 3326. 
Refer to the Control Builder Error Codes Reference book for applicable error code 
information. 
 
Checking faceplate display and LEDs 
Check the C300 Controller's 4-character display and C300/IOTA LED indications and 
compare results with data in the C300 Faceplate indicators/displays section.  For more 
details on these fault classifications and possible causes of these faults refer the Fault  
Classifications  section.
