Troubleshoot the Module

Software Diagnostics

In addition to the status indicators on the module, RSLogix 5000 software alerts
you to fault conditions. The software reports fault conditions in these ways:

A warning icon appears next to the module in the I/O Configuration

tree (

Figure 16

) when the controller-to-module connection is lost. If the

connection between the counter module and a peer output module is lost,
the counter module continues to communicate with the controller, and no
fault indication appears.

The Module Info tab on the Module Properties dialog box displays the

module’s status along with major and minor faults (

Figure 17

).
