Bus Error

Problem: A 31" or 51" through 58" appears on the processor

module's LED. This error message indicates that there was a bus

error when the system attempted to access the module. This error

message means that the module is missing, in the wrong slot, or

malfunctioning. It is also possible that that user has attempted to

write to the wrong registers on the module. Refer to the DCS

Processor Module Instruction Manual (JĆ3635) or AutoMax Processor

Module Instruction Manual (JĆ3650) for more information. Use the

following procedure to isolate a bus error:
Step 1.

Verify that the output module is in the correct slot and that

the I/O definitions are correct.
Refer to figure 3.2. Verify that the slot number being

referenced agrees with the slot number defined in the

configuration task. Verify that the register number is 0.

Note that the bit number and the wire number are not the

same.
For remote I/O installations, also verify that the master slot

and remote drop number are defined correctly.

Step 2.

Verify that the module can be accessed.
Connect the programming terminal to the system and run

the ReSource Software.
Stop all programs that may be running.
Use the I/O MONITOR function to display register 0. If the

programmer is able to monitor the outputs, then attempt to

write to the outputs.

WARNING

BE CAREFUL WHEN WRITING TO THE OUTPUTS TO INSURE THAT NO

UNEXPECTED MACHINE MOTION WILL RESULT. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS

PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

If the programmer cannot read and write to the outputs,

the problem lies in the hardware.

Step 3.

Verify that the hardware lies working correctly.
Verify the hardware functionality by systematically

swapping out the output module, the processor

module(s), and the backplane. After each swap, if the

problem is not corrected, replace the original item before

swapping out the next item.
For remote I/O installations, systematically swap out the

output module, the slave remote module, and the

backplane. After each swap, if the problem is not

corrected, replace the original item before swapping out

the next item.
