Handling Errors and Alarms Section 4-8
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).
4-8-3 Errors in the CPU Unit
When errors occur in the CPU Unit or I/O bus, and I/O refresh with the Special
I/O Unit is not performed correctly resulting in the Analog Output Unit mal-
functioning, the ERH indicator will be lit.
