Fatal ECC error 
The C300 Controller software has detected a fatal Error Checking and Correction (ECC) 
condition that can be a multiple-bit error or excessive single-bit errors in the main 
Random Access Memory (RAM). 
 
Diagnostic Check 
•  The 4-character display on the C300 Controller shows FAIL or mMBE. 
•  In the Monitoring tab, the C300 Controller icon turns red.  
Cause 
The C300 Controller software has detected a failure that does not allow 
operation to continue. There can be many causes for a failure including 
hardware.  
Use the CTools utility 
to capture diagnostic data for the device to 
determine the possible cause before proceeding.  If the error occurs in 
the backup RAM, a fault is indicated. If the error occurs in main RAM, 
the module freezes with mMBE on the display. 
Solution 
Try shorting the reset pads on the IOTA to re-start the C300 Controller. If 
error persists, replace the controller. See C300 Controller module and 
IOTA replacement for details.  
Check the Trace log for breadcrumbs that occurred prior to the event. 
See Using CTools for capturing diagnostic data for more information. 
Provide the results of the trace log to Honeywell Solutions Support 
Center (SSC) for analysis.
