May 27, 2024 · SF stands for System Fault. When the SF LED indicator lights up on a Siemens PLC, it signifies a system error that needs immediate attention. These errors can stem from various sources, including hardware malfunctions, software glitches, or communication issues within the PLC network.

Apr 8, 2015 · Attempting to rectify an issue with a blowdown valve, traced back to the O/P from the S7 not being healthy, indicating a red SF LED on the Dig O/P card in question. SF LED also illuminated on ET 200/Link and S7-300.

Nov 7, 2020 · I have SF Fault LED on S7 1200 CPU 1214C DC/DC/DC controller, after the machine was isolated without shutting the safety doors. Even doing MRES and program reload is not helping. In the Diagnostics buffer, I have this event code, Event ID: 16# 1E2A : A48B.

Apr 21, 2017 · SF means System Fault : programming error, access to non-available adresses in the program (as when a remote I/O module connection is defective); BUSxF indicates an error on a network link, such as Profibus.
