Hot Swap Terminal Unit Not Found
ABB · System
¿Qué significa E4-9736 ?
The system requires a hot swap terminal unit for proper operation, but it was not detected or is missing. This configuration error can prevent the system from recognizing or communicating with I/O modules, leading to incomplete system functionality or a halt.
Causas comunes
- The hot swap terminal unit is physically missing from the I/O rack or backplane assembly.
- Loose, damaged, or unseated backplane connection between the hot swap terminal unit and the adjacent modules or controller.
- Defective hot swap terminal unit hardware (e.g., failed communication interface, faulty detection circuitry).
- Incorrect addressing (e.g., DIP switch settings P_ADDR_HEX) or configuration of the terminal unit in the PLC software.
- System firmware or hardware configuration expects a hot swap unit, but a non-hot swap backplane is installed.
