Parameter ErrorBits V2 (S7-1200, S7-1500)

Parameter ErrorBits V2

If several errors are pending simultaneously, the values of the ErrorBits are displayed with binary ad‐
dition. The display of ErrorBits = 0003h, for example, indicates that the errors 0001h and 0002h are
pending simultaneously.
In manual mode, PID_Compact uses ManualValue as output value. The exception is Errorbits =
10000h.

ErrorBits Description

(DW#16#...)
0000 There is no error.
The "Input" parameter is outside the process value limits.
• Input > Config.InputUpperLimit or
• Input < Config.InputLowerLimit

0001 If automatic mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRecoverMode =
TRUE, PID_Compact remains in automatic mode.
If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRe‐
coverMode = TRUE, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode that is saved in
the Mode parameter.
Invalid value at "Input_PER" parameter. Check whether an error is pending at the
analog input.
If automatic mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRecoverMode =
TRUE, PID_Compact outputs the configured substitute output value. As soon as the
0002
error is no longer pending, PID_Compact switches back to automatic mode.
If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRe‐
coverMode = TRUE, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode that is saved in
the Mode parameter.
Error during fine tuning. Oscillation of the process value could not be maintained.
0004 If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error occurred, PID_Compact cancels
the tuning and switches to the operating mode that is saved in the Mode parameter.
Error at start of pretuning. The process value is too close to the setpoint. Start fine
tuning.
0008
If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error occurred, PID_Compact cancels
the tuning and switches to the operating mode that is saved in the Mode parameter.
The setpoint was changed during tuning.
You can set the permitted fluctuation of the setpoint at the CancelTuningLevel tag.
0010
If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error occurred, PID_Compact cancels
the tuning and switches to the operating mode that is saved in the Mode parameter.
Pretuning is not permitted during fine tuning.
0020 If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error occurred, PID_Compact remains in
fine tuning mode.
Error during pretuning. The output value limits are not configured correctly or the ac‐
0080
tual value does not react as expected.

Check whether the limits of the output value are configured correctly and match the
control logic.
Also make sure that the actual value does not oscillate strongly before starting pre‐
tuning.
If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error occurred, PID_Compact cancels
the tuning and switches to the operating mode that is saved in the Mode parameter.
Error during fine tuning resulted in invalid parameters.
0100 If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error occurred, PID_Compact cancels
the tuning and switches to the operating mode that is saved in the Mode parameter.
Invalid value at "Input" parameter: Value has an invalid number format.
If automatic mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRecoverMode =
TRUE, PID_Compact outputs the configured substitute output value. As soon as the
0200 error is no longer pending, PID_Compact switches back to automatic mode.
If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRe‐
coverMode = TRUE, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode that is saved in
the Mode parameter.
Calculation of output value failed. Check the PID parameters.
If automatic mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRecoverMode =
TRUE, PID_Compact outputs the configured substitute output value. As soon as the
0400 error is no longer pending, PID_Compact switches back to automatic mode.
If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRe‐
coverMode = TRUE, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode that is saved in
the Mode parameter.
Sampling time error: PID_Compact is not called within the sampling time of the cyclic
interrupt OB.
If automatic mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRecoverMode =
TRUE, PID_Compact remains in automatic mode.
0800 If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRe‐
coverMode = TRUE, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode that is saved in
the Mode parameter.
If this error occurred during simulation with PLCSIM, see the notes under Simulating
PID_Compact V2 with PLCSIM.
Invalid value at "Setpoint" parameter: Value has an invalid number format.
If automatic mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRecoverMode =
TRUE, PID_Compact outputs the configured substitute output value. As soon as the
1000 error is no longer pending, PID_Compact switches back to automatic mode.
If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active before the error occurred and ActivateRe‐
coverMode = TRUE, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode that is saved in
the Mode parameter.
Invalid value at ManualValue parameter. Value has an invalid number format.

10000 If ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before an error occurred, PID_Compact uses Sub‐

stituteOutput as the output value. As soon as you specify a valid value in ManualVal‐
ue, PID_Compact uses it as the output value.
Invalid value at SubstituteOutput tag. Value has an invalid number format.
20000
PID_Compact uses the output value low limit as the output value.

If automatic mode was active before the error occurred, ActivateRecoverMode =

TRUE, and the error is no longer pending, PID_Compact switches back to automatic
mode.
Invalid value at Disturbance parameter. Value has an invalid number format.
If automatic mode was active and ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE before the error oc‐
curred, Disturbance is set to zero. PID_Compact remains in automatic mode.
40000
If pretuning or fine tuning mode was active and ActivateRecoverMode = TRUE be‐
fore the error occurred, PID_Compact switches to the operating mode saved in the
Mode parameter. If Disturbance in the current phase has no effect on the output val‐
ue, tuning is not be canceled.
