SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
The CPU enters a fatal error condition and ceases operation if one of the
problems listed below occurs. AUX 29 displays the problem that caused the
CPU to enter the fatal error condition.
• Hardware failure — This error occurs if the power-up or user-requested
diagnostics have detected a hardware problem other than those listed
here.
• Invalid control block / S-Memory is inconsistent — An error has been
detected in a control block being accessed by a loop, analog alarm, SF
program, or SF subroutine. The most likely cause of this error is that
S-Memory has been corrupted.
• Operating system fatal error — The CPU has detected a logic error
during execution of the operating system firmware.
• RAM diagnostic failure / O/S RAM — The system has detected a RAM
error while running diagnostics on System RAM, Image Register RAM,
or Image Register Force RAM. This is a hardware failure.
• ROM diagnostic failure / O/S ROM — The system has detected a ROM
checksum error while running diagnostics on System EEPROM. This
is a hardware failure.
• Watchdog timeout — There are two possible reasons for this error.
First reason: The scan watchdog expired during execution of the RLL
scan. Using AUX 14, check to verify that the scan watchdog has been
set to a sufficient value. Note that an incorrectly tuned system may
experience this error if the cyclic RLL task (TASK 2) or the interrupt
RLL task (TASK 8) consume a high percentage of available CPU time.
You may need to increase the scan watchdog, increase the cycle time for
TASK 2, reduce the amount of RLL executed in TASK 8, or some
combination of these changes.
Second reason: The hardware has failed in such a way as to prevent
scan operation.
Fatal error due to EEPROM — This error occurs on a 545 or a 555, if
an installed EEPROM has a program which is invalid for the CPU. The
most likely cause of the error is that the memory configuration
contained in the installed EEPROM is invalid. For example, an
EEPROM that was created by a 555–1104 has been installed in a
545–1103 and the 555 program requires memory that is not available
on the 545–1103.
