83 fault codes for ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix, PowerFlex VFDs, GuardMaster safety relays, and EtherNet/IP modules. Free AI-powered diagnosis with root causes and fix steps.
ControlLogix (1756 series) is the workhorse of large-scale industrial automation. Major faults halt the controller and require intervention. Minor faults log warnings but keep running. Common ControlLogix fault types include:
PowerFlex drives (40, 400, 525, 755) are Allen-Bradley's variable frequency drive line. Faults display on the drive HMI and propagate to the PLC via EtherNet/IP. Common PowerFlex faults:
GuardLogix safety controllers require SIL 2/SIL 3 compliant fault handling. Safety faults lock out the safety task and require a deliberate reset. Key fault types:

Run Free DiagnosisThe most common ControlLogix fault codes include: Major Fault Type 01 (Power-up default), Type 04 (Watchdog fault), Type 06 (Instruction fault), and Type 11 (Motion fault). RepairXpert covers 74 Allen-Bradley fault codes with step-by-step repair procedures.
Connect via RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000. Check Controller Properties > Major Faults to identify the fault type. Fix the underlying cause, then click 'Clear Major Fault' in the Controller menu and switch back to Run mode.
F004 is an Undervoltage fault — the DC bus voltage dropped below the minimum threshold. Check incoming power, verify wire terminations, look for voltage dips during motor starting, and inspect DC bus capacitors for bulging.
Check physical connections and LEDs. Verify IP addresses and subnets. Check RPI settings. Use RSLinx to confirm the module path. Review 1756-EN2T/EN3TR status LEDs: green = OK, red = fault, flashing = no connection.
