15-1-1 How to Check for Errors
You can check to see if an error has occurred with the following methods.
* To perform troubleshooting from an HMI, connect the HMI to the built-in EtherNet/IP port on the CPU Unit. Refer
to the appendices of the NJ/NX-series Troubleshooting Manual (Cat. No. W503) for the applicable range of the
HMI Troubleshooter.
This section describes the above checking methods.
CPU Unit Operating Status
You can use the PWR/POWER, RUN, and ERROR indicators to determine the level of an error.
The following table shows the relationship between the CPU Unit indicators and the event level for
an NX-series CPU Unit.
15-1-1 How to Check for Errors
Checking method What you can check
Checking the indicators You can check the error status of the CPU Unit and EtherNet/IP port.
Checking with the trouble-
shooting function of Sysmac
Studio
You can check for current Controller errors, a log of past Controller errors, error
sources, error causes, and corrections.
Checking with the Trouble-
shooter of an HMI*
You can check for current Controller errors, a log of past Controller errors, error
sources, error causes, and corrections.
Checking with instructions that
read function module error sta-
tus
You can check the highest-level status and highest-level event code in the cur-
rent Controller errors.
Checking with system-defined
variables
You can check the current Controller error status for each function module.
Checking communications sta-
tus with the Network Configura-
tor
You can check the communications status (e.g., tag data link connection status)
for each device on the EtherNet/IP network.
