3-1-2-1

Max Supply Voltage μC2 Exceeded

Beckhoff · EL1904 Digital Input Terminal

What does 3-1-2-1 mean?

The supply voltage to microcontroller 2 (μC2) within the EL1904 terminal has exceeded its maximum permissible limit. This overvoltage condition can stress internal components and potentially lead to permanent damage to the microcontroller.

Common Causes

  • External power supply voltage exceeds the maximum allowable threshold for μC2.
  • Power surge or transient event on the supply line.
  • Incorrect voltage regulator setting for μC2.
  • Component failure within the power conditioning circuitry for μC2.
  • Mains voltage fluctuation beyond operational limits (P2-2).

Repair Steps & Checklist
