1
Dedicated instruction is 
not executed.
(The completion device 
does not turn on.)
Check if the dedicated instruction is 
started.
Start the dedicated instruction. -
Is the programmable controller CPU in the 
RUN status?
Set the programmable controller CPU to 
RUN.
-
Check if more than the maximum number 
of simultaneously executable dedicated 
instructions (one per channel) are started. 
Complete the dedicated instruction 
currently executed, and then retry.
CHAPTER 10
Check if the dedicated instruction is 
completed in error.
Refer to "Dedicated instruction failed."
This section 
(3)-2
Check if a dedicated instruction is already 
being executed and the module is waiting 
for a response from the target device.
• Wait until the response monitoring timer 
for the dedicated instruction times out.
• Check the status of the target device.

CHAPTER 10
Section 11.4
Does the target device support the 
function code?
<MBRW instruction>
Modify the device type setting in the 
control data so that a function code 
supported by the target device will be 
issued.
Section 10.2
<MBREQ instruction>
Modify the send data so that a function 
code supported by the target device will be 
issued.
Section 10.3
In the case of the MBREQ instruction, 
check if the contents of the request 
message is correct.
Correct the request message and retry.
CHAPTER 4
Section 10.3
Check if the Response monitoring timer/
Broadcast delay of the dedicated 
instruction is appropriate.
• Check the processing time of the target 
device.
• Check if, because of a small response 
monitoring timer value, the timer has 
timed out with an error before the target 
device returns a response.
For the error, set a larger response 
monitoring timer value.
• Check if the next request was sent 
before completion of the processing of 
the target device because of a small 
broadcast delay value. 
For the error, set a larger broadcast 
delay value.
