Behavior

Significance

Typical Reason

Help

MicroLogix
Fault LED is flashing Red

No communication with the
PS69 module (or other

modules)

Modules slot number in
RSLogix program does not
match with the physical slot

of the module
Configured Vendor ID /
Module ID / Input / Output /
Configuration array size is

wrong

Check modules slot number
in RSLogix project
Compare configured Input /
Output size / Vendor ID
/Module ID with required

values

PS69-DPS
COM LED is off SYS LED
Flashing irregular green

Configuration missing or
faulty

No configuration or faulty
stored

Check initialization values of
the configuration array
Check the value "LastError"
in SlaveStatusField to

determine the error reason

Watchdog expired

Watchdog value in
configuration is smaller then
RPI (Requested

PackedIntervall)

Increase Watchdog value in

configuration array
Module has to be reset

PS69-DPS
COM LED is off and SYS
LED flashing cyclic fast

green

Application is not ready

PLC is not in RUN Mode.
PLC application has set the

NRDY bit.
PLC has no I/O
communication with the

module

Bring PLC into RUN Mode.
Check that the PLC
application has deleted the

NRDY bit.
Check PLC’s I/O LED

Master and Slave
Configuration mismatch

The configuration of the
master which wants to
communicate with the
module don't match to the
configuration of the slave

module

Use the ExtStaInfo in
SlaveStatusField to compare
what the expected
configuration is from the
master and the modules

configuration

Network problem

No physical network
connection
No master present who

wants to communicate

Check if the slave module is
properly connected to the

PROFIBUS Network
Check if bus activity can be
detected in "IrqCounter" in

SlaveStatusField
Check if a master is present
who wants to communicate
to the module and check if

the slave address is correct

Master output data can not
be found in RSLogix
program

Input array mismatch

Configured input size in

RSLogix too small

Check if the configured input
size in RSLogix covers the
mandatory size of 136 byte
status data plus the size of

the outputs configured.

Inputs are not transferred to
Master although PROFIBUS

is running

Output array mismatch

Configured output size in

RSLogix too small

Check if the configured
output size in RSLogix
covers the mandatory size of
4 byte status data plus the
configured PROFIBUS input
data
