XL200 Series Error Codes

Beginning with version 2 software, the XL200 series controller generates text-based error codes, along with a specific error number.

The controller does not display much in the way of troubleshooting information along with the code, because generally it's very difficult to predict how customers will use the controller. Different machine types will generate the same error codes for different reasons.

Wherever possible, we've tried to describe the errors in layman's terms and offer some suggestions for troubleshooting the actual nature of the problem, as well as offer some possible solutions.
