SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
When a fatal error occurs, the CPU attempts the following actions:
• The CPU GOOD LED is turned off.
• I/O ports are disabled, discrete outputs are turned off, and word
outputs are held in their last valid state.
• Communication ports are cleared and re-initialized.
• Pending or queued communication tasks are aborted.
Attempt to clear the fatal error by following the steps listed below. When the
CPU GOOD LED turns on, the fatal error has been cleared.
1. Determine the fatal error condition by selecting AUX 29 from the
Auxiliary Function Menu on your programming unit. Record the fatal
and non-fatal error(s) listed along with the date, time, CPU serial
number and software part number (AUX 15) for later reference.
If communication errors occur, ensure that the battery backup is
enabled and then cycle power to the base. If communication errors
continue, record No Communication as the fatal error, and go to step 4.
2. Execute AUX 11, CPU Partial Restart. If this fails to clear the error,
execute AUX 12, CPU Complete Restart.
3. If the fatal error persists, ensure that the battery backup is enabled,
power cycle the CPU, then reattempt step 2 and execute AUX 10, CPU
Power-up Restart.
4. If you have been unable to clear the fatal error to this point, you must
re-initialize the CPU. Disable the battery backup (turn off switch 9 of
the dipswitch) and cycle power to the CPU (or execute AUX 10). This
clears the CPU memory.
5. If the CPU GOOD LED comes on, restore the battery backup by
turning on switch 9 of the dipswitch. You must now use your
programming unit to restore your program.
6. If the CPU GOOD LED does not turn on at this time, your CPU may
have a hardware failure.
