COMMUNICATION CHECK:
Confirm probe is communicating with control. Press <Alt+I> to open the centroid PLC I/O
diagnostic screen. Locate the inputs entered in parameters 11 and 18 typically these are PLC
inputs 50769 and 50771. Verify that they change correctly when the probe is first connected.
50771 will turn on solid green and 50769 and 50770 will flash alternately red green then stay
red. 50770 is a special DP-7 hard wired input. Only the last three digits 769, 770 and 771 are
displayed on the diagnostic screen. Use the F12 and F11 keys to scroll through the diagnostic
screens to find the inputs.
