2 Error Troubleshooting Methods

NJ-series Troubleshooting Manual (W503)
2-1 Troubleshooting Flowcharts
This section provides basic error identification and troubleshooting flowcharts. Use them when an error
occurs in the NJ-series Controller.
When an error occurs in the NJ-series Controller, use the following flowchart to determine whether the
error is a fatal error or a non-fatal error.
Whenever possible, set the Sysmac Studio’s software connection method in the flowchart to a direct
USB connection. If you use Ethernet, there are many reasons that prevent a software connection from
the Sysmac Studio, so time is required to determine if a fatal or non-fatal error has occurred. If you can-
not go online from the Sysmac Studio, perform 2-4 Troubleshooting When You Cannot Go Online from
the Sysmac Studio before you assume that the error is a fatal error.
