E-05Â Interrupt / Watchdog Error fault in Toshiba drive
E-05 Interrupt / Watchdog Error fault in Toshiba drive
Description The "Watchdog Timer" is a security feature in the microprocessor. It expects the main software loop to "check in" every few milliseconds. If the software gets stuck in an infinite loop or freezes due to hardware failure, it fails to check in. The Watchdog then triggers E-05 to reboot or stop the system. It basically means the drive's brain has frozen. Causes
1. Cable Noise: Similar to E-04, noise on the ribbon cables connecting the logic board to the power board can freeze the data bus.
2. Connector Oxidation: The white plug connectors between boards have developed resistance/corrosion.
3. Option Card Freeze: A communications card (Ethernet/Profibus) has crashed and is holding the main CPU hostage.
4. Board Aging: Capacitors on the 5V rail powering the CPU are drying out, causing voltage ripple that crashes the processor. Solution 1. Power down. Remove any option cards (communication or I/O expansion). Power up. If E-05 is gone, the option card is the problem.
2. Reseat connections. Remove the front cover and unplug/replug the ribbon cables connecting the keypad and main board. The wiping action cleans the pins.
3. Check the 24V/5V power. If you are drawing too much power from the control terminals (e.g., powering a heavy external sensor), the voltage dip can freeze the CPU. Disconnect all I/O wiring and test.
4. If the fault is permanent, the Control Board must be replaced.
