RTS Nesting
Indramat · ServoDyn D Servo Drive
What does 19 mean?
This nesting error occurs when an RTS (Return from Subroutine) command is encountered in the CLM01.3-M program without a preceding, matching JSR (Jump to Subroutine) command. This indicates an illogical program flow, as the system attempts to return from a subroutine that was never called.
Common Causes
- An RTS command is executed without a corresponding JSR call, leading to an unbalanced subroutine stack.
- Program logic error causing an unconditional jump into a subroutine's return path.
- Corrupted program memory, causing the CLM01.3-M to misinterpret command sequences.
- Faulty external control sending an erroneous program sequence to the CLM01.3-M.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Review the CLM01.3-M user program to ensure that every RTS command is preceded by a corresponding JSR command within the logical program flow.
- 2
Debug the program logic for any unintended jumps or branches that might bypass a JSR call but still lead to an RTS command.
- 3
Verify program sequencing to ensure that subroutine calls (JSR) and returns (RTS) are properly matched and ordered.
- 4
If the program appears correct, check for potential memory corruption by re-transmitting the user program to the CLM01.3-M.
- 5
If external programming tools are used, ensure they generate correct and balanced JSR/RTS sequences.
