Handling Errors and Alarms Section 5-8
ERC Indicator and RUN Indicator: Lit, ADJ Indicator: Flashing
This alarm will occur in the case of incorrect operation while in the adjustment
mode. In adjustment mode, the Adjustment Mode ON Flag will turn ON in bit
15 of CIO word n+9.
Note When a PLC error occurs in the adjustment mode, Unit operations will stop
operating. (The input and output values immediately prior to the error will be
held.)
ERC Indicator: Lit, RUN Indicator: Not Lit
The ERC indicator will be lit when the initial settings for the Analog Output
Unit are not set correctly. The alarm flags for the following errors will turn ON
in CIO word n+9. These alarm flags will turn OFF when the error is cleared
and the Unit is restarted, or the Special I/O Unit Restart Bit is turned ON and
then OFF again.
Note Bit 15 is normally turned OFF (i.e., set to 0).

Bit 13 (Adjustment 
mode)
Output Number 
Setting Error
In adjustment mode, adjust-
ment cannot be performed 
because the specified output 
number is not set for use or 
because the wrong output num-
ber is specified.
The output volt-
age or current 
becomes 0 V or 
0 mA.
Check whether the word n out-
put number to be adjusted is set 
from 11 to 14.
Check whether the output num-
ber to be adjusted is set for use 
by means of the DM setting.
Bit 15 only ON (Adjustment 
Mode)
PLC Error
The PLC is in either MONITOR 
or RUN mode while the Analog 
Output Unit is operating in 
adjustment mode.
The output volt-
age or current 
becomes 0 V or 
0 mA.
For the CJ1W-DA021 or CJ1W-
DA041, set the operation mode 
to normal mode and restart.
For the CJ1W-DA08V/08C, set 
bits 00 to 07 of D(m+18) to 00 
hex. Then either power up again 
or turn the Special I/O Unit 
Restart Bit ON and then OFF 
again.
