This is a POST, not a tip. This is the first time we’ve seen a generic post in Do & Grow material, but this is an interesting chance to learn about a common overlooked problem

Look at the below SCL code (you’ll see this in action in the next tip!). This doesn’t work and causes a PLC fault. The PLC stops with the error code shown in the next picture. When followed through from the diagnostic page, the faulty line is Line 87, specifically the #Stop_Reset_DN, as this is highlighted.

Click on the images to see them in better detail and comment what you think the issue is either below, or on the LinkedIn Post you may have arrived here by.

Fig 3 – Error highlighted when “Open In Editor” clicked in Diagnostic window.

📝Tip
There is nothing wrong with #Stop_Reset_DN

Comment your answers and I’ll update with an answer at a later date!!

  1. Area length error usually means there is an error in the FOR loop and array , so its probably an exceeded limit in the array.
    Honestly i dont know the exact problem here , i would start in commenting the loops to check which one is the problem 😀
