Three diagnostic indicators are located on the front of the 1771-ASB
adapter. These indicators are:
ACTIVE — Illuminates when proper communications have been
established between the 1772-SD2 distribution panel and the 1771-ASB
adapter, DC power is properly supplied to the I/O chassis and
1771-ASB adapter is actively controlling the I/O. The ACTIVE
indicator is normally on.
ADAPTER FAULT — Illuminates when the module is not operating
properly. It tells you that a fault has been detected and that the I/O
chassis has responded in the manner selected by the last state switch.
When this indicator is on, the other indicators are no longer valid. the
ADAPTER FAULT indicator is normally off.
I/O RACK FAULT — Illuminates when a fault has been detected at the
1771-ASB adapter, the I/O chassis, or the logic side of the I/O modules.
The I/O RACK FAULT is normally off.
NOTE: For a full listing of the possible combinations of these
indicators (on, off or blinking), see the 1771-ASB User’s manual
(publication no. 1771-6.5.37).
A local/remote system has both nearby (3-6 cable-ft) and remote (up to
10,000 cable-ft) I/O chassis. Up to 2 local and 5 remote racks may be
assigned.
The PLC-2/30 processor system can also be configured with a combination
of local and remote I/O chassis. Each local chassis must have a 1771-AL
Local I/O Adapter module. And as previously stated, communication with
the remote chassis (one or more) requires a 1772-SD2 Remote Distribution
panel and one 1771-ASB Remote I/O Adapter in each chassis.
The 1772-SD2 distribution panel may be connected directly to the
processor interface module or up to two local I/O chassis may precede it.
Connection to the preceding local I/O chassis is made with a 1772-CS
interconnect cable.
NOTE: The 1772-SD2 must not be more than 10 cable feet from the
PLC-2/30 processor module.
