The port configuration error words have the following definitions:
Bit Description Value
0 Type code is not valid. Enter a value from 0 (master)to 1 (slave). 0x0001
1 Protocol parameter is not valid. 0x0002
2 Termination type parameter is not valid. 0x0004
3 Baud rate parameter is not valid. 0x0008
4 Parity parameter is not valid. 0x0010
5 Data bits parameter is not valid. 0x0020
6 Stop bits parameter is not valid. 0x0040
7 Command count parameter is not valid. 0x0080
8 Retry count parameter is not valid. 0x0100
9 Spare 0x0200
10 Spare 0x0400
11 Spare 0x0800
12 Spare 0x1000
13 Spare 0x2000
14 Spare 0x4000
15 Spare 0x8000
Correct any invalid data in the configuration for proper module operation. When
the configuration contains a valid parameter set, all the bits in the configuration
words will be clear. This does not indicate that the configuration is valid for the
user application. Make sure each parameter is set correctly for the specific
application.
If the APP, BP ACT and OK LEDs blink at a rate of every one-second, this
indicates a serious problem with the module. Call ProSoft Technology support to
arrange for repairs.
4.2.1 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 the configuration data being transferred to the module from the SLC
processor.
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 Support.
