8.4 Error Status Check
If an error occurs in 4AD, the corresponding bit of BFM #29 (error status buffer memory) will be turned on. To
solve the problem, refer to the troubleshooting method described below:
1. Error detection (b0)
1) Description of error
If any of b2 to b4 is turned on, this bit (b0) will be turned on.
2. Power supply error (b2)
1) Description of error
The 24 V power is not being supplied properly.
2) Remedy
Check the wiring condition or the supplied voltage.
3. Hardware error (b3)
1) Description of error
4AD may be defective.
2) Remedy
Please contact the nearest Mitsubishi Electric distributor office.
4. A/D conversion error (b4)
1) Description of error
The A/D conversion value is abnormal.
2) Remedy
Check the over-scale status data (BFM #28) to localize the error channel. After that, check to make sure
the input analog data is in the specified range.
5. BFM reading/writing impossible (b6)
1) Description of error
When voltage input characteristics changing is in process, this bit will be turned on. If this bit (b6) is on, A/
D conversion data cannot be read out correctly or cannot be written in the BFM correctly.
2) Remedy
Check the sequence program and confirm that the input characteristics (BFM #21 b0 to b3) are not
written continuously.
6. Data setting error detection (b8)
1) Description of error
If any of b9 through b15 is turned on, this bit (b8) will be turned on.
7. Number of averaging time setting error (b10)
1) Description of error
The number of averaging time (BFM #2 to #5) is not set correctly.
2) Remedy
Set the number of averaging time again in the range from 1 to 4095.
