Handling Errors and Alarms Section 3-8
3-8-4 Restarting Special I/O Units
To restart the Analog Input Unit after changing the contents of the DM Area or
correcting an error, cycle the power to the PLC or turn ON the Special I/O Unit
Restart Bit.
Special I/O Unit Restart Bits
The previous conversion data will be held while the Unit is being restarted.
Note If the error is not cleared even after turning the Special I/O Unit Restart Bit ON
and then OFF again, then replace the Unit.
3-8-5 Troubleshooting
The following tables explain the probable causes of troubles that may occur,
and the countermeasures for dealing with them.

The input is not set for being used. Set the input to be used. 106
The peak value hold function is in
operation.
Turn OFF the peak value hold func-
tion if it is not required.
112
The input device is not working, the
input wiring is wrong, or there is a
disconnection.
Using a tester, check to see if the
input voltage or current is changing.
---
Use Unit’s alarm flags to check for a
disconnection.

Probable cause Countermeasure Page
The input device’s signal range
does not match the input signal
range for the relevant input number
at the Analog Input Unit.
Check the specifications of the
input device, and match the settings
for the input signal ranges.
80
The offset and gain are not
adjusted.
Adjust the offset and gain. 114
When using the 4 mA to 20 mA
range, the voltage/current switch is
not turned ON.
Turn ON the voltage/current switch. 94
Probable cause Countermeasure Page
The input signals are being affected
by external noise.
Change the shielded cable connec-
tion to the Unit’s COM terminal.
98
Insert a 0.01-μF to 0.1-μF ceramic
capacitor or film capacitor between
the input’s (+) and (–) terminals.

Try increasing the number of mean
value processing buffers.
