Default Configuration

If a write block of five words with all zeroes is sent to the module,

default selections will be:

Millivolt input

one input type

temperature in

o

C

BCD data format

no real time sampling (RTS) (50ms)

no alarming

The front panel of the thermocouple/mV input module contains a
green RUN indicator and a red FAULT indicator. At power-up, the
module momentarily turns on the red indicator as a lamp test, then
checks for:

correct RAM operation

EPROM operation

EEPROM operation

a valid write block transfer with configuration data

If there is no fault, the red indicator turns off.

Thereafter, the module lights the green RUN indicator when
operating without fault, or lights the red FAULT indicator when it
detects fault conditions. If the red FAULT indicator is on, block
transfers will be inhibited.

Possible module fault causes and corrective action is described in
the following table.

Indicators

Probable Cause

Recommended Action

Both indicators are OFF No power to module

Possible short on the module

LED driver failure

Check power to I/O chassis.

Recycle as necessary.

Replace module.

Red FLTON and

Green RUN is ON

Microprocessor, oscillator or EPROM failure

Replace module.

Red FLTON

If immediately after power-up, indicates RAM

or EPROM failure.

1

Replace module.

If during operation, indicates possible

microprocessor or backplane interface

failure.

1

Replace module.

Green RUN is flashing

Power-up diagnostics successfully

completed.

Normal operation.

If LED continues to flash, and write block

transfers (BTW) cannot be accomplished, you

have a possible interface failure.

Replace module.

1

When red LED is on, the watchdog timer has timed out and backplane communications are terminated. Your user program should

monitor communication.
