Analog Output Module

13

Publication 1771-IN044C-EN-P - October 2002

The front panel of the module contains a green RUN and a red FLT
(fault) indicator. Possible module fault causes and corrective actions
are shown in the table below.

Indicators

Probable Cause

Recommended Action

RUN (green on)

FLT (red off)

1. Awaiting configuration BTW

2. Normal operation

1. At power-up, the module output is

disabled until the module receives the

first BTW. The output is enabled and

goes to the value sent in the BTW

(normal operation).

2. None

RUN (green on)

FLT (red on)

Unsuccessful powerĆup

EEPROM fault

Checksum error

Hardware failure in module

Cycle power

Return module for repair

RUN (green off)

FLT (red off)

No power

Bad internal fuse

Turn off power.

Remove and reinsert module into

chassis. Return power.

If problem still exists, and chassis power

supply is functioning properly, return the

module for repair.

Read BlockTransfer Status Words

The module allows a five-word read block transfer for rudimentary
program or hardware debugging. If a read block transfer request is
for more or less than five words, the module will not perform a read
block transfer. The following table shows the word assignment for
the read block transfer.

Data Valid

The first four words of the read block transfer show the actual 12 bits
of data sent to the module’s digital-to-analog converters (DACs).
The first four words in the read block transfer appear in 12-bit binary
format regardless of the module’s mode of operation (BCD or 12-bit
binary).
