The CompactLogix power supply works with the CompactLogix controller to
provide power to the system. Because the power supply and controller are each
required, you must consider both when attempting to troubleshoot a power issue in
your system.
To troubleshoot any system power issues, use the CompactLogix power supply
PWR status indicator and the CompactLogix controller PWR and I/O PWR
status indicators. You should troubleshoot the power supply and controller status
indicators in a specific order.
1. Troubleshoot the power supply PWR status indicator.
If the power supply is not operating properly, the controller will not be
operating properly either. You must first diagnose and correct any issues
with the power supply before troubleshooting the controller.
