Property damage or bodily injury are possible when the notes in this manual are not adhered to!
ifm electronic gmbh does not assume any liability in this regard.
►The acting person must have read and understood the safety instructions and the corresponding
chapters of this manual before performing any work on or with this device.
►The acting person must be authorised to work on the machine/equipment.
►Adhere to the technical data of the devices!
You can find the current data sheet on ifm's homepage at:
www.ifm.com > select your country > [Data sheet search] > (Article no.) > [Technical data in PDF

►Note the installation and wiring information as well as the functions and features of the devices!
supplied installation instructions or on ifm's homepage:
www.ifm.com > select your country > [Data sheet search] > (Article no.) > [Operating instructions]
NOTICE
The driver module of the serial interface can be damaged!
Disconnecting the serial interface while live can cause undefined states which damage the driver
module.
►Do not disconnect the serial interface while live.
Start-up behaviour of the controller
The manufacturer of the machine/equipment must ensure with his application program that when the
controller starts or restarts no dangerous movements can be triggered.
A restart can, for example, be caused by:
voltage restoration after power failure
reset after watchdog response because of too long a cycle time

4.1 Overview
10481
The chapter General setup (→page 16) illustrates the general set-up procedure for the controllerE units
AC1318 / AC1324 by means of 2 flowcharts. Possible error states and the corresponding corrective
measures are described in additional tables in this chapter.
The chapter Connect Allen Bradley ControlLogix controller via DeviceNet (→page 20) shows a configuration
example of a connection between host controllers and the controllerE. These quick instructions
presuppose the following:
16 bytes of digital input and 16 bytes of digital output data are to be exchanged between the
connected host and the controllerE. Accordingly, the fieldbus modules 1 and 2 are both set to
16 bytes:
Chapter Module 1 – digital input master 1(A) (→page 39),
Chapter Module 2 – digital output master 1(A) (→page 41).
The node address and the baud rate of the controllerE have been set as defined in the respective
examples.
The configuration PC is connected to the host controller.
The controllerE and the DeviceNet scanner are switched on and connected to each other via
DeviceNet.

another to the AS-i bus
Check state of things (1)

4.2.1 Troubleshooting (1)
10485
Checkpoint Status Possible cause Remedy
LED [24 V PWR] off 24 V voltage supply not ok. ►Check 24 V voltage supply!
off AS-i voltage supply not ok ►Check AS-i voltage supply!
LED [PWR / COM] green flashing AS-i voltage supply ok but no AS-i
slave detected on the bus.
►Check wiring of the AS-i network!
Adhere to the maximum
admissible cable lengths!
LED [PLC RUN] yellow flashing controllerE PLC is in the operating
mode STOP
►Switch PLC to the operating mode
RUN: [Menu] > [PLC Setup] >
[PLC Settings] > [Run]
►If no change is possible:
Is the project "DN_M4_xxx.pro"
stored in the controllerE as boot
project?
[Menü] > [PLC Setup] > ]PLC info]
Wiring fault in the AS-i network
►Check wiring of the AS-i network!
Adhere to the maximum
admissible cable lengths!
Slave lists (detected
slaves)
The connected AS-i
slaves are not
detected correctly. There is double addressing, i.e. two
or more participants have been set
to the same AS-i address.
►Check the addresses of the
connected AS-i slaves!

4.2.2 Troubleshooting (2)
5038
Checkpoint Condition Possible cause Remedy
red flashing one of the connected AS-i slaves
causes a peripheral fault
►Read the error messages on the
display of the controllerE and
determine the concerned slave
address(es)!
►Check in the corresponding
installation instructions of the
concerned slaves what might
cause a peripheral fault in the
corresponding unit!
►Remove this cause!
the list of activated slaves does not
correspond to the list of projected
slaves
►Check the wiring of the AS-i
network, in particular the wiring of
the slaves which are projected but
not activated:
[Menu] > [Slave Lists] > ...
►Adhere to the maximum
admissible cable lengths!
LED [CONF / PF]
red permanently lit
(configuration error)
the configuration of the AS-i
network was changed after
executing the function "Config. all"
(slave(s) added, slave(s) removed,
slave(s) replaced by another type)
►Check the AS-i configuration!
►If the configuration is ok and the
LED [CONF / PF] still is
permanently lit:
Repeat the function "Config. all":
[Menu] > [Quick Setup] > [Config.
all]
yellow flashing
the AS-i master is in the projection
mode. Switching to the protected
mode is not possible because at
least one slave with the address 0
was detected the bus
►Correct the AS-i configuration
according to your requests!
►Repeat the function "Config. all":
[Menu] > [Quick Setup] > [Config.
all]
LED [PROJ]
permanent yellow
light
the AS-i master is in the projection
mode
►Switch the AS-i master to the
"protected mode":
[Menu] > [Master Setup] > [AS-i
