What to do if all four LEDs on the Siemens Controller PLC flash (DI disaster)?
- P
  Paul CurtisJul 26, 2025
  If all four LEDs on the Siemens Controller PLC are flashing, it indicates a system error. Here's what you should do: 1. Stop the PLC (set the "PLC" switch to position 2). 2. Perform a hardware reset. 3. Read the diagnostic buffer using STEP 7 to analyze the error in detail. 4. Relay the diagnostic buffer information to the Hotline / Development Service. 5. If requested after the hardware reset, perform a general reset. You can then read the diagnostic buffer with the PLC in the Stop state. Alternatively, resetting or reloading the PLC program might resolve the issue. Even if the system returns to normal, send the diagnostic buffer content to the Development Office.

How to troubleshoot no MPI connection to Siemens Controller PLC?
- J
  James MezaJul 31, 2025
  If there is no connection via MPI to the Siemens Controller PLC, the MPI cable might not be plugged in or could be defective. Also, the STEP 7 software might not be correctly configured for the MPI card. To test, create a link with the programmer in the STEP 7 editor using the "Direct_PLC" connection. A number of node addresses should appear. If they don't, the MPI cable is likely defective or not plugged in.

  If all four LEDs on your Siemens Control Systems PLC are flashing, it indicates a system error. To address this, halt the PLC (set the 'PLC' switch to position 2) and perform a hardware reset. Use STEP 7 to read the diagnostic buffer and share this information with the Hotline / Development Service. If requested after the hardware reset, perform a general reset. After resetting or reloading the PLC program, normal operation may resume. Still, send the diagnostic buffer content to the Development Office.

Why PLC cannot be accessed in Siemens Control Systems in spite of PLC general reset?
- D
  Deborah MillerAug 12, 2025
  If you cannot access the Siemens Control Systems PLC after a general reset, it might be due to a system data block SDB 0 loaded with a modified MPI address, causing an MPI bus conflict. To resolve this, disconnect all MPI cables from other components. Then, establish a 'Direct_PLC' connection with the programmer and correct the MPI address.
