Adapter Troubleshooting

Each processor or Adapter provides it’s own set of sophisticated
diagnostics which the user can examine to help determine the nature of
problems that may arise. Maintenance is done at the board level.
Examining the diagnostic/fault messages available determines whether a
board should be replaced. The malfunctioning board may be returned to
Allen-Bradley for further disposition.
