8.3  Troubleshooting for COM150 / COM 190 communications 
module 
 
Network parameters (e.g. IP 
addresses) cannot be changed during 
commissioning. 
Write protection is active. 
Set the slide switch on the 
communications module to the   
position (open padlock). For more 
information, see Chapter Access 
protection functions (Page 163). 
Network parameters (e.g. IP 
addresses) cannot be changed using 
SENTRON powerconfig configuration 
software during commissioning. 
Edit mode is inactive by default in the 
device search (F11) of the SENTRON 
powerconfig configuration software. 
Activate (unlock) edit mode in the 
device search of the SENTRON 
powerconfig configuration software. 
Circuit breakers cannot be 
closed/ope
ned via the communication 
connection. 
Remote switching protection is active. 
Connect the RSP (remote switching 
protection) pins on the X62 connector 
of the communications module. For 
more information, see Chapter Access 
protection functions (Page 163). 
LEDs flash on one installed 
communications module, 
communication is not possible. 
Role assignment is incorrect. 
The communications module has a 
slide switch for role A or role B. 
Assign role A using the slide switch. 
LEDs flash on two installed 
communications modules, 
communication is not possible. 
Role assignment is incorrect. 
The communications module has a 
slide switch for role A or role B for 
assigning role A to one module and 
role B to the other.  
Remote switching protection and the 
position signaling switch modules of 
the withdrawable circuit breaker are 
connected to the module with role A. 
The communications module cannot 
be started up properly or it reboots 
sporadically. 
The 24 V power supply is not 
adequately dimensioned. 
Use a larger 24 V power supply unit 
or a separate power supply unit for 
the communications module.

 connection is 
interrupted. 
Check the points of contact and 
connectors of the CubicleBUS

 and 
reconnect, if necessary.  
Sporadically, not all circuit breaker 
data are available. 
Cubicle-BUS

 is not terminated with a 
terminating resistor. 
Connect the supplied terminating 
resistor (S, 120 Ω) to the last node of 
the CubicleBUS
2
. 
Modbus RTU terminating resistor is 
not installed. 
Terminate the last module on the 
CubicleBUS

 with the terminating 
resistor.

Disturbance due to high EMC 
interference 
Implement suitable measures to 
reduce EMC interference.
