6.1 Error Code Type 
 
Errors are detected by the self diagnostics function of CPU module or during 
communication with CPU module. 
The following table classifies the errors according to the detection pattern, 
detection location and error code.

*1: CPU module error codes are classified into minor, moderate, major errors as 
shown below. 
 Minor error:  Errors that may allow the CPU module to continue the operation, e.g., battery 
error. 
(Error code: 1300 to 10000)   
 Moderate error: Errors that may cause the CPU module to stop the operation, e.g., WDT error.
(Error code: 1300 to 10000) 
 Major error:  Errors that may cause the CPU module to stop the operation, e.g., RAM error. 
(Error code: 1000 to 1299) 
Determine the error level, i.e. whether the operation can be continued or stopped, 
by referring to "Operating Statuses of CPU" described in Section 6.3 "Error Code 
List". 
 
6.2 Reading Error Code 
 
When an error occurs, the corresponding error code and error message can be 
read out using a peripheral device. 
For details on peripheral device operation, refer to GX Developer Operating 
Manual or SW
IVD-GPPQ/SW NX-GPPQ Operating Manual (Online).
