I x .Slave.ParityError
Modbus Slave Parity Error
Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module
What does I x .Slave.ParityError mean?
This boolean tag indicates that a parity error occurred during Modbus slave communication. A value of 1 (Occurrence) means a data transmission error was detected due to incorrect parity. This suggests corruption in the serial data stream received by the slave, leading to unreliable data processing.
Common Causes
- Incorrect parity setting on the Modbus master or Modbus slave module
- Noise or electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the communication line corrupting data bits
- Damaged or loose serial communication cable connections
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the parity setting in the Modbus slave module's configuration matches the Modbus master's setting.
- 2
Inspect the serial communication cable for physical damage or loose connections at both the module and master ends.
- 3
Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) near the communication line and implement shielding if necessary.
