Logix 520 si Symptoms and Solutions
Failure
Probable Cause
Corrective action
No LED is blinking
1. Current source below 3,6 mA
1.
Verify current source suppies at least 3,6 mA
2. Incorrect wiring polarity
2.
Check wiring for correct polarity
Erratic communications
1. Current source bandwidth not
1.
Maximum allowable current source rate of
limited to 25Hz
change is 924 mA per second
2. Maximum cable length or cable
2.
Check cable conductor size, length and
impedance exceeded
capacitance. Refer to ‘Cable Requirements’ on
page 11.
3. HART modem connected to PC RS-232 3.
Verify laptop battery is not low
port not receiving enough power
4. Interference with I.S. barrier
4.
Must use HART compatible I.S. barrier
5. Current source stripping (filtering)
5.
Use the HART filter (VHF) available from
HART signal

Alternatively a 250 Ω and a 22 µF capacitor,
installed according to the following schematic
drawing can be used to establish communication
Unit does not respond
1. Unit is in digital command mode
1.
Switch to analog command mode with handheld

communicator or Soft Tools.
2. Error occurred during calibration
2. Correct calibration error. Recalibrate
Valve position reading
1. Stem position sensor mounting
1.
Reposition sensor
is not what is expected
is off 180 degrees
2. Stroke not calibrated
2.
Calibrate stroke
3. Tight shutoff MPC (Minimum
3.
No action
position cutoff) is active
4. Custom characterization or soft
4.
No action
stops active
Position is driven fully
1. Stroke not calibrated
1.
Calibrate valve stroke
open or closed and will
2. Inner-loop hall sensor not connected
2.
Verify hardware connections
not respond to command
3. Wrong air action entered in software
3.
Check ATO (Air-to-open) and ATC (Air-to-Close)
settings. Recalibrate
4. Actuator tubing backward
4.
Verify ATO/ATC actuator tubing
5. Electro-pneumatic converter
5.
Replace electro-pneumatic converter
malfunctioning
6. Control parameter inner-loop offset
6.
Adjust inner-loop and see if proper control
is too high/low
