What does 4 pulses (arg 0) mean?
The K-bus ERR LED flashes 4 times, with '0' in the argument sequence, indicating a K-bus data error where a break is detected immediately behind the power supply unit. This specific error often occurs if the Bus End Terminal is missing or incorrectly installed.
Common Causes
- Discontinuity in the K-bus power supply path before the bus terminal.
- Power module failure upstream of the bus terminal.
- Loose connection in the K-bus power distribution.
- Internal fault in a preceding bus terminal.
