MOD30ML and Modcell Maintenance
INTRODUCTION
1.3 DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
The MODCELL and MOD 30ML instruments are supported by the following diagnostic tools:
• MODCELL Status LEDs
• Application Builder Software
• MOD 30ML Display
• Mini Link / External Status LEDs
Use of these tools can provide diagnostic information which helps identify most instrument
problems.
1.3.1 MODCELL Status LEDs
The red and green status LEDs on the front of the MODCELL instrument provide information
about instrument power, instrument operating state, data base communication with I/O,
component failures, and data base and memory module integrity. A detailed description of
the status LED indications and a trouble shooting guide are provided in Section 2.
1.3.2 Application Builder Software
The MODCELL and MOD 30ML instrument diagnostics generate a series of codes that
provide both operational status information and fault information. These codes can be
accessed via the instrument status display that is available in the Application Builder
Software. Instructions for using the Application Builder as a diagnostic tool are provided in
Section 3. A description of the diagnostic codes with recommended corrective actions is
provided in Section 7.
1.3.3 ViZapp Software
The MODCELL and MOD 30ML instrument diagnostics generate a series of codes, which
provide both operational status information and fault information. These codes can be
accessed via the instrument status display, which is available in the ViZapp Software. In
addition to the status display, ViZapp also provides Debug mode for troubleshooting and
Simulation. Instructions for using the ViZApp Software as a diagnostic tool are provided in
Section 3. A description of the diagnostic codes with recommended corrective actions is
provided in Section 7.
1.3.4 MOD 30ML Display
The device status and device events display groups show shutdown fault information and
diagnostic codes, which provide operational status and fault information about a MOD 30ML
instrument without using the Application Builder o ViZapp Software. A procedure for obtaining
shutdown fault information from the display is provided in Section 6.2.3. Accessing the
diagnostic codes is discussed in Section 3, and a detailed description of the codes with
recommended corrective actions is provided in Section 7.
1.3.5 Mini Link / External LEDs
The front panel of the External Mini Link is divided into two sections labeled ICN0 and ICN1.
Each section has three LED indicators. These Indicators provide status on the health status
of the ICNs. This is discussed in Section 4.2.5.
