Symptoms
The communication command references a component address that is outside the valid range for the PLC. The request is rejected and error code A (hex) is returned.
Possible Causes
- Component address exceeds the valid range for the PLC model
- Incorrect component type prefix (e.g., R for relay vs D for data register)
- Address calculation error in the master application
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Check the component address in the communication request against the valid address range in the FATEK component reference
Address is within the valid range for the target component type - Step 2: Verify the component type prefix matches the intended register type
Component type prefix is correct - Step 3: Correct the address in the master application and resend the request
PLC responds with error code 0
How to Reset
Correct the component address in the communication request to a valid range and resend.
