WKTilton Posted February 19, 2020 Report Posted February 19, 2020 I have an NJ-PLC tied to several components via EtherCAT...one of those components is the NX-Safety CPU. Customer had us design the system so that the NJ-PLC stays powered even if the Main Disconnect is pulled. The problem I am running into is that the NJ-PLC will log several EtherCAT Loss "Minor Errors" when the Main Power is disconnected from the slave components....that in turn will not allow my NX-Safety CPU to run after everything is all powered back up again. The only way I can get the NX-Safety CPU to function again is to manually clear the "minor errors" while online with Sysmac Studio. Is there some setting somewhere I can turn off to NOT monitor EtherCAT Communications loss or some other way around this issue?? Again, I am very novice at Omron programming, 28 year AB programmer.... Thanks

( ResetECError) Please refer to page 6-27 of the above manual. I hope this will help you out. Regards, Garry
WKTilton Posted February 19, 2020 Author Report Posted February 19, 2020 Thank you, yes that will help.... With that bit of knowledge, I was able to find that "reset logic" in a previous program done for this company written by a former engineer, no longer employed here.. Thanks again for the help.. 1
