Controller Faults

Faults in the Compact GuardLogix system can be nonrecoverable controller
faults, nonrecoverable safety faults in the safety application, or recoverable safety
faults in the safety application.

Nonrecoverable Controller Faults

These occur when the controller’s internal diagnostics fail. If a nonrecoverable
controller fault occurs, safety task execution stops and CIP Safety I/O modules
are placed in the safe state. Recovery requires that you download the application
program again.

Nonrecoverable Safety Faults in the Safety Application

If a nonrecoverable safety fault occurs in the safety application, safety logic and
the safety protocol are terminated. Safety task watchdog faults fall into this
category.
