23.2.1 Local I/O Troubleshooting Checklist
1.
Verify the controller is in RUN mode.
2.
Check diagnostics to ensure controller passed self-tests.
View Diags in System Menu or in Cscape, click; Controller/Diagnostics
3.
Check data sheets to ensure proper wiring.
4.
Ensure that hardware jumpers and software configuration for I/O match.
5.
Check data sheets for voltage and current limits.
6.
Take ladder out of the picture. From Cscape
set controller to “Do I/O” mode. In this
mode inputs can be monitored, and outputs set from a data watch window in Cscape
without interference from the ladder program. Some I/O problems are only a result of a
mistake in the ladder program.
WARNING: Setting outputs ON in Do I/O mode can result in injury or cause
machinery to engage in an unsafe manner depending on the application and the
environment.
