TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied
PE1005
. However, we
would like to offer suggestions for the following:
8.1 THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION
Cause 1:
There is a setup problem.
Solution:
Check the communication software
and verify the
PE1005
is connected
to the correct communication port
and that the software is connected.
If there is still no response, see
Cause 2.
Cause 2:
The connection is wrong.
Solution:
Verify the RS-232 cabling is correct.
The RS-232 transmit and receive
pins are pins 14 and 16 of the
25-pin HD connector. If there is still
no response, please call Altinex at
(714)-990-2300.
8.2 RELAYS DO NOT WORK
Cause 1:
Cabling is incorrect.
Solution:
See DIAGRAM 4: 25 PIN HD
DETAILS for connection details. If
the cabling is good and the relays
still do not switch, see Cause 2.
Cause 2:
The correct relay is not being
switched.
Solution:
There are four internal relays, 1
through 4. Turn on all the relays by
sending the command [WRRL*=1].
If some of the relays are open,
please call Altinex at
(714)-990-2300.
8.3 INPUT PORTS DO NOT RESPOND
Cause 1:
The input pin is not grounded.
Solution
:
Short the input port to ground using
a switch or other device. Then send
the command [RDI*]. The status of
all input ports will be read and
displayed. A ‘1’ is for high and a ‘0’
is for a low. Verify the pin that is
grounded reads a low, ‘0’. If all the
ports show a high, ‘1’, call ALTINEX
at (714) 990-2300. Otherwise, see
Cause 2.
Cause 2:
The input is incorrectly
programmed.
Solution
:
If the PE1005 is seeing a high to low
transition, but there is no response,
the setup may be wrong. Send the
command [RDIN*] and note the
number of the subroutine assigned
to the input port. Then read the
subroutine with the [RDS] command
and verify the contents are good. If
everything looks as planned, call
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300
