▪
Use the hardware and software diagnostic tools provided with
the product.
The ControlWave Micro process automation controller
includes status LEDs on both the CPU and PSSM modules; see the
ControlWave Micro instruction manual for explanations of what
these status LEDs mean. The IEC 62591 wireless application
running in the ControlWave Micro includes error codes which you
can check; often these will identify configuration problems for you.
▪
Collect and save as much relevant information as you can.
If
possible, make notes concerning what steps you took leading up to
the initial occurrence of the problem. Save printouts, screen
captures, error codes, and so on so you can refer to them if you have
to call for technical assistance.
