Color

Status

Indication

The module is operating normally.

module is not working. Remove it from the rack and re-insert it

to restart its internal program.

3.2

Clearing a Fault Condition

Typically, if the OK LED on the front of the module turns RED for more than ten seconds, a

hardware problem has been detected in the module or the program has exited.
To clear the condition, follow these steps:
1

Turn off power to the rack.

2

Remove the card from the rack.

3

Verify that all jumpers are set correctly.

4

If the module requires a Compact Flash card, verify that the card is installed correctly.

5

Re-insert the card in the rack and turn the power back on.

6

Verify correct configuration data is being transferred to the module from the ControlLogix

controller.

If the module's OK LED does not turn GREEN, verify that the module is inserted completely

into the rack. If this does not cure the problem, contact ProSoft Technology Technical

Support.

3.3

Troubleshooting

Use the following troubleshooting steps if you encounter problems when the module is

powered up. If these steps do not resolve your problem, please contact ProSoft Technology

Technical Support.
