1747-DCM if red LED remains lit after power-up.

Flashing

Configuration
Error

Check that the DIP switch settings are correct. Make sure that I/O group

and chassis size settings are compatible.

(1)

Also see that the setting for

chassis address is correct.

(1)

Check for RIO scanner’s processor error, correct
condition, and cycle power to the 1747-DCM.

Off

RIO scanner’s processor not connected to
scanner

Check that the scanner is properly installed in the
chassis.

RIO scanner’s processor chassis inhibited

Check RIO scanner’s processor chassis integrity,
correct any problem, and cycle power to the
1747-DCM.

No communication between RIO
scanner’s processor and 1747-DCM

Check that the baud rate of the 1747-DCM matches
the baud rate of the scanner.

Check cable connections from the RIO scanner or its
processor to the 1747-DCM.

Check that the 1747-DCM connector is properly
installed.
