Connect a voltmeter to the proper points on the terminal

strip and continue to toggle the output device from the I/O

MONITOR. The voltmeter should alternate between 0 and

the line voltage. If this does not happen, the output circuit

is malfunctioning.

Step 5.

Verify that the user application program is correct.
Verify that the application program that references the

symbolic names associated with the module has declared

those names COMMON.
Verify that the symbolic name in question is being

referenced in the application program. This can be done

indirectly with the VARIABLE MONITOR in the

programmer.

Step 6.

Verify that the hardware is working correctly.
Verify the hardware functionality by systematically

swapping out modules. After each swap, if the problem is

not corrected, replace the original module before

swapping out the next module.
D To test local I/O, first replace the output module. Next,

replace the processor module(s). If the problem

persists, take all of the modules out of the backplane

except one processor module and the output module.

If the problem is now corrected, one of the other

modules in the rack is malfunctioning. Reconnect the

other modules one at a time until the problem

reappears. If none of these tests reveals the problem,

replace the backplane.

D To test remote I/O, first verify that the remote I/O system

is communicating with the drop that contains the

output module being tested. Next, by systematically

swapping out modules, determine whether the output

module is the only module that is not working. If more

than one module is not working correctly, the problem

most likely lies in the remote I/O system.

D To test the remote rack, first replace the output

module. Next, replace the slave remote I/O module. If

the problem persists, take all of the modules out of the

remote backplane except the slave remote I/O module

and the output module. If the problem is now

corrected, one of the other modules in the rack is

malfunctioning. Reconnect the other modules one at a

time until the problem reappears. If the problem proves

to be neither in the remote I/O system nor the remote

rack, try replacing the remote backplane.

Bus Error

Problem: A 31" or 51" through 58" appears on the processor

module's LED. This error message indicates that there was a bus

error when the system attempted to access the module. The possible

causes of this error are a missing module, a module in the wrong

slot, or a malfunctioning module. It is also possible that the user has

attempted to write to the wrong registers on the module. Refer to the

AutoMax Procesor Module Instruction Manual (JĆ3650) for more

information. Use the following procedure to isolate a bus error:
