Symptom / LED indicator Probable root cause Quick fix / next step
No LEDs, no response after power-on No 24 V supply or blown fuse Verify supply voltage & wiring; check cabinet fuse; contact Beckhoff service if still dead
System hangs while booting (BIOS screen or Windows splash never finishes) File system on CFast/SSD corrupt or BIOS settings wrong Re-seat CFast/SSD; run disk check on external PC; load default BIOS; re-image OS if required 
PWR LED flashes red (8 Hz = PSU fault / 3 Hz = no CFast) Undervoltage, wiring fault, or missing/defective CFast card Measure DC-in; replace PSU or card as indicated 
TC LED steady yellow PLC crash during runtime (TwinCAT 3) Download PLC log, correct programming bug, and cold-restart controller 
TC LED steady red (STOP) TwinCAT license missing, watchdog timeout, or memory overflow Activate license; inspect TwinCAT log; increase task watchdog time; reboot to RUN 
K-BUS ERR LED flashes Error on Bus Terminals (short, address conflict, missing 24 V Up) Count flashes to decode error; fix wiring or replace faulty terminal then power-cycle 
ERR LED stays red immediately after start-up Bootloader damaged Return module for repair or reflash bootloader via Beckhoff Service 
“CMOS battery low / time & date lost” on boot 3 V RTC coin-cell exhausted Replace with Beckhoff spare battery CX1900-0102; re-enter BIOS clock 
Frequent thermal shutdowns / fan alarm Internal fan failure or blocked airflow Swap fan cartridge CX2900-0103; clean filters; ensure cabinet temp < 55 °C
Controller reaches RUN but PLC doesn’t scan / stays in Config TwinCAT System Service not auto-starting or mis-assigned CPU core In Windows Services set TcSysSrv to “automatic”; check real-time core assignment; create boot project and reboot
