Using Selectable Timed
Interrupts with a Program
on a ControlNet Network
You must be careful when using Selectable Timed Interrupts (STIs)
with a program on a ControlNet network.
A Selectable Timed Interrupt (STI) periodically interrupts primary
program execution in order to run a subprogram to completion. If an
STI occurs while a normal ControlNet non-discrete I/O data transfer
or a ControlNet Immediate Data I/O instruction (IDO or IDI) is in
progress and they both operate on the same set of data, the integrity of
that block of data is jeopardized.
To ensure data-block integrity, write your STI routine so that it
operates on its own copy of the data block that it needs. Use
ControlNet Immediate Data I/O instructions (IDO and IDI) within
your STI to copy the needed block of data out to and back from a
temporary location that is different from that used by the normal data
table.
For detailed information about STIs, see your programming software
documentation.
Recovering from Major Fault 200
and 201
A Major Fault with error code 200 and 201 means that the processor
was unable to transmit the scheduled data it is configured to transmit.
This is typically caused by disturbances on the ControlNet channel
because of missing terminators, bad connectors, or noisy conditions.
These disturbances may cause the processor to fall off the network
while its trying to transmit its scheduled data. If you consistently get
these faults, you may want to check and repair the cable.
This fault can also occur when the processor falls behind and did not
have the scheduled data ready to send on time.
Depending on the requirements of the application, you may consider
adding a fault routine to the application to clear an occurrence of a
Major Fault with error code 200 and 201.
For detailed information about creating fault routines, refer to chapter
16 of the Enhanced and Ethernet PLC-5 Programmable Controllers
User Manual, publication 1785-6.5.12.
Note: To monitor for ControlNet noise via ladder logic or HMI,
declare a ControlNet diagnostic file using RSNetWorx software.
Refer to Appendix F: ControlNet Diagnostic File Layout for
definitions. You can also monitor for ControlNet noise via RSWho’s
station diagnostics in RSLinx.
