5.0 DIAGNOSTICS AND

TROUBLESHOOTING

This section explains how to troubleshoot the module and field

connections. If the problem cannot be corrected by following the

instructions below, the module is not userĆserviceable.

DANGER

ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL FAMILIAR WITH THE

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND THE HAZARDS

INVOLVED SHOULD INSTALL, ADJUST, OPERATE, OR SERVICE THIS

EQUIPMENT. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL AND OTHER

APPLICABLE MANUALS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE PROCEEDING. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY

OR LOSS OF LIFE.

5.1

Incorrect Data

The data is either always off, always on, or different than expected.

When this happens the module is malfunctioning, is in the wrong

slot, or there is a programming error. It is also possible that the input

wiring is incorrectly connected.

WARNING

INSERTING OR REMOVING A MODULE OR ITS CONNECTING CABLES MAY

RESULT IN UNEXPECTED MACHINE MOTION. TURN OFF POWER TO THE RACK

BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING A MODULE OR ITS CONNECTING CABLES.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN BODILY

INJURY.

Use the following procedure to isolate the error:
Step 1.

Verify that the Pulsetach Input module is in the correct

slot as defined in the configuration.

Step 2.

Verify that the pulsetach inputs are wired correctly.
Confirm that all terminal strip connections are tight.

Step 3.

Verify that the pulse input circuitry on the module is

working correctly. Be sure the CCLK signal is present on

the rack's backplane if the rack contains more than one

module that can generate the CCLK signal. Check the

CCLK LED on the module's faceplate. The LED is on

when the CCLK signal is present on the backplane.
Remove power from the system. Disconnect the

mechanical coupling between the motor and the

pulsetach. Apply power to the rack and the pulsetach.
Use an oscilloscope on the terminal strip to verify that the

voltages coming from the pulsetach are at the proper

level.
