Fault display Type Enable Potential causes and corrective actions
Loss of signal (1 to 12) A Menu/
SOP
Cause
The software detected a loss of signal on one of the 4 to 20 mA inputs (1
to 12). This is usually a result of an open circuit or defective driver on the
current loop.
Action
1. Check connection to the user I/O module's 4 to 20 mA input corre‐
sponding to the loss of signal message and associated wiring.
2. Replace aected user I/O module.
3. Contact Siemens customer service.
Int I/O Comm Fault F Fixed Cause
This fault occurs when the system has had a problem communicating to a
user I/O module. A number attached to the fault message will indicate
which module the system was trying to communicate with when the error
occurred. However, this number may not always be the actual module
which has a problem. Noise on the ber optic network may give cause an
erroneous result.
Action
1. Replace aected user I/O module.
2. Contact Siemens customer service.
Int I/O Internal Err F Fixed Cause
This fault occurs when a module reports an error. The three types of mod‐
ule errors which are reported and therefore can generate this fault are:
• EEprom error
• board type error
• watchdog time out.
Which of those errors actually generated the fault may be identied by the
ashing LEDs on the module which reported the error. A number attached
to the fault message will indicate which module reported the error.
Action
1. Replace aected user I/O module.
2. Contact Siemens customer service.
