Controller to Device Communication
Verify controller to device communication by observing the indicators on the controller’s communication
module and the devices in the controller’s I/O tree.
1. Observe the controller’s communication module.
Refer to the user manual for the specific module you are using.
2. Open your RSLogix 5000 project, go online with the
controller, and observe the devices in the I/O tree.
A device with a yellow exclamation mark (!)
indicates a fault. The fault could be a
configuration fault, a device fault, or a
communication fault. View the quick pane in the
Controller Organizer to determine fault.
3. From the HMI, open the faceplate for the
individual CNC Device.
Verify that the Comms. Ok status is green. The
controller is monitoring a heart beat signal being
produced by the CNC. As long as the controller
detects a continuing transition, the status remains
green; otherwise, the status is red.
