12-2-2 Troubleshooting Flowchart for Non-fatal Errors
For a non-fatal error, use the Sysmac Studio or an NS-series PT to troubleshoot the error with the fol-
lowing flowchart. You can use the indicators to check the following:
• Level
• Whether the error is in the EtherNet/IP Function Module or the EtherCAT Master Function Module
• If the source of the error is the EtherNet/IP Function Module or the EtherCAT Master Function Mod-
ule, whether you can restore normal status yourself
The errors (i.e., events) that can occur in the PLC Function Module are given on the following pages.
Event levels are given as following in the tables:
Maj: Major fault level
Prt: Partial fault level
Min: Minor fault level
Obs: Observation
Info: Information
Refer to the NJ-series Troubleshooting Manual (Cat. No. W503) for all NJ-series event codes.
