4.5.1
Corrective Action if the STOP Indicator is Flashing Slowly
If the STOP indicator flashes slowly, the controller requires a memory reset
(MRES). To recover from this condition, you must use the MRES command to
reset the controller.
4.5.2
Corrective Action if All Status Indicators are Flashing
If all of the status indicators are flashing at the same time, the controller is in a
defective state and has encountered an error condition that cannot be fixed by
resetting the memory with the MRES command. To recover from this condition, you
must perform the following steps:
1. Power off the controller.
2. Power on the controller. The STOP indicator flashes with the RUN indicator off.
3. Use the MRES command to reset the memory.
4. Use STEP 7 to download the control program and system configuration, or to
restore an archived control program.
5. If either powering off or restarting the controller does not resolve the problem,
you may need to reboot your computer.
