What shows up in your diagnostic buffer and in the project tree while online to help you see what is going on with the RED device(s) in your project? Maybe just simple analog inputs overflowing because they are not jumped to M.

KIRAN_DABHI Posts: 60 Rating: (8)	THIS ERROR ARISES BECAUSE YOUR CPU PART NAME AND VERSION MAY BE LATEST AND IN YOUR TIA PORTAL THAT VERSION NOT AVAILABLE.SO UPDATE YOUR HARDWARE UPDATES IN TIA SOFTWARE.THEN INDENTIFY YOUR CPU BY UNSPECIFY CPU.THEN FURTHER DOWNLOAD HARDWARE. THIS WILL WORK .TRY IT.IF MORE PROBLEM REVET IT.

Do a full software rebuild (right click on CPU, compile>rebuild all blocks). Then download to the CPU. My maintenance LED came on after we had a loose connection to an IO module. cheers.

What you see in those cases when connecting an ANALOG meter (like a Simpson 260 (very old tech, but shows problems most digital meters cannot), is the analog input value starts out high, and quickly runs to 0 --- as the meter shorts out the inputs with the large input impedance.
