4.1.1 Clearing a Fault Condition

Typically, if the OK LED on the front of the module turns RED for more than ten

seconds, a hardware problem has been detected in the module or the program

has exited.
To clear the condition, follow these steps:
1 Turn off power to the rack.
2 Remove the card from the rack.
3 Verify that all jumpers are set correctly.
4 If the module requires a Compact Flash card, verify that the card is installed

correctly.

5 Re-insert the card in the rack and turn the power back on.
6 Verify correct configuration data is being transferred to the module from the

CompactLogix or MicroLogix controller.

If the module's OK LED does not turn GREEN, verify that the module is inserted

completely into the rack. If this does not cure the problem, contact ProSoft

Technology Technical Support.

4.1.2 Troubleshooting

Use the following troubleshooting steps if you encounter problems when the

module is powered up. If these steps do not resolve your problem, please contact

ProSoft Technology Technical Support.

Processor Errors

Problem description

Steps to take

Processor fault

Verify that the module is plugged into the slot that has been configured

for the module in the I/O Configuration of RSLogix.
Verify that the slot location in the rack has been configured correctly in

the ladder logic.

Processor I/O LED

flashes

This indicates a problem with backplane communications. A problem
could exist between the processor and any installed I/O module, not just

the MVI69-HART. Verify that all modules in the rack are correctly

configured in the ladder logic.
