Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting
1. Meaning of LED status lights
POWER: Power Supply
RUN: Run
Fault: (flashing=program error; constantly on=hardware error)
BAT: Low battery
COMM: Communication Activity
2. Common fault handling
Unable to power on: Check wiring, voltage, polarity
Fault flashing: check for S: 6 fault code
Input no response: Check wiring, filtering, common terminal
Output not functioning: check load, power supply, suppressor
Communication failure: check baud rate, verify, address, mask
3. Fault clearing method
Automatic power on clearing
Fault subroutine clearing
Programming software clearing
Firmware upgrade
Using ControlFLASH software
Switch to default communication mode before upgrading (DCOMM light on)
Upgrading will clear user programs and must be backed up first
Upgrade failure will display a specific LED mode
