Chapter 12: Errors and Countermeasures
The operating condition of the JW-21MN can be monitored using its indication lamps, flags, and the
system memory of a PC.
12-1 Indication lamps
LED "1" to "80" indicate error codes when an error occurs. Error codes, their
causes, and measures are as shown in the table below.
ON, OFF
* Error code 60(H), 6E(H), C1 to FF(H) are special error codes unique to the JW-21MN.
Other codes are error codes specified by the ME-NET.
Prior to displaying the error code C1 to FF(H), the setting of the parameter addresses
007750 to 007757(8) is required. (See page 16-12.)
