Allen-Bradley DH485 Protocol – PLC Error Code Tables
The following PLC error code tables cover possible errors that are detected by the panel from
Allen-Bradley PLCs using the DH485 protocol. This includes all MicroLogix and SLC500
PLCs, and any communication connection using an Allen-Bradley AIC device using the
DH485 protocol.
Note:
The following errors can be generated from the designated PLC, are monitored by the
C-more
Micro-
Graphic panel, and displayed on the panel’s screen as a hexadecimal value in panel error code P499, if active.
Please refer to the PLC users manual for additional information.
PLC generated error codes for the Allen-Bradley DH485 protocol continue on the next page.
