Error Processing Section 11-2
If the IOM Hold Bit hasn’t been turned ON to protect I/O memory, all non-
retained areas of I/O memory will be cleared when a fatal error other than
FALS(007) occurs. When the IOM Hold Bit is ON, the contents of I/O memory
will be retained but all outputs will be turned OFF.

memory. A bit in A403 will 
turn ON to show the location 
of the error as listed below.
See below.
A40300 ON:
A checksum error has 
occurred in the user program 
memory. The power was 
turned OFF while storing data 
to the flash memory (backup 
memory).
Check the program and correct the 
error.
A40304 ON:
A checksum error has 
occurred in the PLC Setup.
Clear the entire PLC Setup to 0000 and 
reenter the settings.
A40305 ON:
A checksum error has 
occurred in the registered I/O 
table.
Initialize the registered I/O table and 
generate a new I/O table.
A40307 ON:
A checksum error has 
occurred in the routing tables.
Initialize the routing tables and reenter 
the tables.
A40308 ON:
A checksum error has 
occurred in the CPU Bus Unit 
setup.
Initialize the CPU Bus Unit setup and 
reenter the settings.
A40309 ON:

Error has occurred in the bus 
line between the CPU and I/O 
Units or the End Cover is not 
connected to the CPU Rack 
or an Expansion Rack.
A40400 to A40407 contain 
the error slot number (00 to 
09) in binary. 0F hex indicates 
that the slot cannot be deter-
mined. 0E hex indicates the 
End Cover is not connected 
to the CPU Rack or an 
Expansion Rack.
A40408 to A40415 contain 
the error rack number (00 to 
03) in binary. 0F hex indicates 
that the rack cannot be deter-
mined. 0E hex indicates the 
End Cover is not connected 
to the CPU Rack or an 
Expansion Rack.
Try turning the power OFF and ON 
again. 
If the error isn’t corrected, turn the 
power OFF and check cable connec-
tions between the I/O Units and Racks 
and the End Covers.
Check for damage to the cable or Units.
Turn the Rack’s power supply OFF and 
then ON again.
