do not matter
The processor is
trying to establish
communication,
but cannot find
other active nodes
DH-485
communication
parameters are set
up improperly.
1. Check communication parameters of programmer.
Programmer and processor communication rate must match.
Programmer and processor node addresses must be
different.
2. Try different combinations of:
a. communication rate (default is 19.2 K for DH-485)
b. node address (default is 1)
3. Try to increase the maximum node address. (default is 31 for
DH-485)
Bad connection of
communication
Device.
1. Check cable continuity.
2. Check cable connections between programmer and
processor.
3. Check communication device (for example, the 1747-PIC
interface). replace if necessary.
Low or no power to
communication
device.
1. Verify proper power supply selection and backplane loading.
(1747-PIC and 1747-AIC interface draw power off the
backplane.)
2. Verify proper 120/240V power supply jumper selection. See
SLC 5/03. SLC 4/04, and SLC 5/05 Communication Errors
