318-3 Interface Module Start-Up
3.5 Error Diagnostics
Diagnostic byte No. 0 contains the diagnostic bits for expansion units. You can
tell from this bit pattern whether an error has occurred and, if so, which error.
The relevant bit then has signal state ”1”.
Diagnostic Bits for Expansion Units
Bit 7 654 321 0
BASP 0 0 0 0 F2 0 F0
F0: • One or more expansion units no longer accessible:
e.g. 318-3 interface module supply voltage has failed, the interface
connector has been unplugged, the 318-3 interface module has been
disconnected, interrupt on the line.
• Frequent interference on the transmission line:
Messages are repeated twice; if no valid data is received (BCH check),
the unit is considered to be no longer accessible. However, the 308-3
interface module will try to access the expansion unit once in each
subsequent cycle. If a connection is established, data traffic is resumed.
F2: • I/O modules disconnected, enable voltage missing:
One or more I/O modules are not in their slots, or do not report
(READY signal). This fact is also indicated by a time-out (QVZ) if the
QVZ mode is activated.
BASP:• Digital outputs are disabled (BASP can be output both by the CPU and
by the 318-3 interface module).
0: • Bits meaningless for expansion units
You will find comprehensive information on error diagnostics in the 308-3
interface module manual.
