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 securely plugged into the slot that has been 
configured for the module in the I/O Configuration in 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 MVI69E-MBS. Verify that all modules in the rack are correctly 
configured. 

Module Errors 

Problem description 

Steps to take 

BP ACT LED (not 
present on MVI56E 
modules) remains OFF 
or blinks slowly 
MVI69 modules with 
scrolling LED display: 

<Backplane Status>

 

condition reads ERR 

This indicates that backplane transfer operations are failing. Connect to 
the module’s Configuration/Debug port to check this.  
To establish backplane communications, verify the following items: 

 

The processor is in RUN or REM RUN mode. 

 

The backplane driver is loaded in the module. 

 

The module is configured for read and write data block transfer. 

 

The ladder logic handles all read and write block situations. 

 

The module is properly configured in the processor I/O configuration 
and ladder logic. 

OK LED remains RED 

The program has halted or a critical error has occurred. Connect to the 
Configuration/Debug (or Communication) port to see if the module is 
running. If the program has halted, turn off power to the rack, remove the 
card from the rack, then re-insert it, and then restore power to the rack.
