Causes of the problem and corrective measures
The table below shows possible causes of the problem and appropriate corrective measures
for the individual diagnostic messages of SM 336; AI 6 x 13Bit.
Table 9- 12 Diagnostic messages and associated corrective measures for SM 336; AI 6 x 13Bit
Diagnostic message Possible causes of the problem Corrective measures
Interruption of the measuring lead
between the module and sensor
Reestablish the cable connection Wire break (only in the 4 to
20 mA measuring range)
Incorrect measuring range setting Set the 4 to 20 mA measuring
range
Assigned tolerance window
exceeded on expiration of the
discrepancy time
Extend the tolerance window
and/or discrepancy window
Wire break Eliminate the wire break Check
the process signal.
Discrepancy error
Deviation between two inputs
outside limits of safety mode to
SIL 2
Wiring error: wire the analog
signal to both inputs, or replace
the module
Common mode fault Potential difference U
CM
between
the inputs (M-) and reference
potential of measuring circuit
(M
ANA
) too high.
Interconnect M- with M
ANA
Measuring range fallen below Use a suitable sensor; check the
wiring (sensor polarity reversed)
Measuring range exceeded Use a suitable sensor; sensor
polarity reversed
Overflow or underflow of the
measured value (see "Wire
break and underflow") in
Chapter "Analog value
representation (Page 182)")
Current through sensor too high at
startup

Incorrect module parameters Faulty parameters transferred to
module
Assign new module parameters
Parameter assignment error
(with specification of a
consecutive number; for
example, "16": incorrect
address)
Error in dynamic parameter
reassignment
Check the parameter assignment
in the user program

Support if necessary
Internal error during analog value
test
ADC/DAC error
Internal voltage monitoring has
reported a fault
Replace the module
