12-4 Resetting Errors
Current errors in a Slave Terminal are retained, unless you reset them, until you cycle the power supply
or restart the Slave Terminal.
To reset errors, you must remove the cause of the current error. If you reset an error without removing
the cause, the same error will occur again.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Resetting the errors does not remove the cause of the error.
• Always remove the cause of the error and then reset the error.
You can use the following methods to reset errors in a Slave Terminal.
With Safety Control Units, it is sometimes necessary to reset errors from a safety program.
Refer to the NX-series Safety Control Unit User’s Manual (Cat. No. Z930) for information on
resetting errors for Safety Control Units.
The current errors and the contents of the event logs in the online Controller are read and reset in the
Troubleshooting Dialog Box. Use the Support Software. The operations are described by using the Sys-
mac Studio as an example. For Support Software other than the Sysmac Studio, refer to the operation
manual for the Support Software that you are using.
