Local adapter fault
(1)
Local adapter not operating; it will
stay in fault mode until fault is
corrected
Cycle power to the chassis to clear the
adapter fault.
(2)
Replace adapter if fault
does not clear.

I/O chassis fault
1
Problem exists between:
• adapter and module in chassis; the
module will stay in fault mode until
fault is corrected
• shorted printed circuit board runs on
backplane or I/O module
Cycle power to the chassis to clear a
problem resulting from high noise.
2
• remove and replace all I/O modules one at a
time
• replace adapter
• If problem does not clear, something is
wrong in chassis or I/O module

Fault should be cleared by extended-local
I/O scanner.

(3)
Press chassis reset button to clear lockout
feature or cycle power; if after repeated
attempts indicators are still blinking, check
that adapter module was reset by
controller/scanner, then immediately
faulted.

Power supply fault
Check power supply, I/O cable and power

Incorrect placement of high-density
modules
Verify addressing modes and switch
settings.
(1)
Cycling power clears the block-transfer request queue. All pending block transfers are lost. Your program must repeat the request for block transfers from the chassis.
(2)
If a fault occurs and the controller is in the run mode but is actually operating in the dependent mode, the chassis fault response mode is selected by switch 1 (the last state
switch) on the chassis backplane.
(3)
The I/O chassis is in faulted mode as selected by switch 1 (the last stare switch) on the chassis backplane.
