13-2 Error Details and Measures
This section describes how to troubleshoot errors that occur in the G9SP-
series Controller.
13-2-1 Fatal Errors
System Errors
Unit Configuration Errors
Force-set/reset Errors
Memory Cassette Errors
The G9SP-series Controller may perform a Memory Cassette operation if it is
started with a Memory Cassette inserted or with DIP switch pin 4 set to ON. If
an error is detected in that status, the ERR/ALM indicator will light red, and
the terminal number will light red on the Safety Input terminal indicators to
indicate error details.
Error name Probable cause Action
System failure 1. A hardware error has been detected in hard-
ware self-diagnosis.
2. A memory error due to, for example, a soft-
ware error has been detected.
Cycle the power supply. If the error occurs
again, replace the Unit.
Internal NVS access
error

internal NVS.
Cycle the power supply. If the error occurs
again, replace the Unit.
Error name Probable cause Action
Unsupported Expan-
sion I/O Unit
The G9SP-series Controller was started with an
unsupported Expansion I/O Unit connected.
With the power supply OFF, adjust the system to
the proper Unit configuration, and then turn ON
the power supply again.
Expansion I/O Unit
maximum connec-
tion number
exceeded
The G9SP-series Controller was started with

With the power supply OFF, adjust the system to
the proper Unit configuration, and then turn ON
the power supply again.
Unsupported Option
Board
The G9SP-series Controller was started with an
unsupported Option Board mounted. (In particu-
