Testing Control Output Devices
Connect the solid-state relay (SSR) control terminals to the D8 control output and connect a light
bulb (or other load that can easily be verified) to be switched by the SSR’s outputs. Put the loop in
manual mode and set the output to 100 percent. The ac load should turn on.
Do not attempt to measure ac voltage at the output terminals of the SSR. Without a load connected,
the SSR output terminals do not turn off. This makes it difficult to determine whether the SSR is
actually working. Measure the voltage across a load or use a load that can be visually verified, such
as a light bulb.
Testing the TB18 and TB50
1. Turn on power to the controller.
2. Measure the +5VDC supply at the TB18 or TB50. The voltage should be +4.75 to
+5.25VDC:
a. Connect the voltmeter’s common lead to TB18 terminal 2 or TB50 terminal 3.
b. Connect the voltmeter’s positive lead to the TB18 or TB50 terminal 1.
Testing Control and Digital Outputs
1. Switch off power to the controller.
2. Disconnect any output wiring on the output to be tested.
3. Connect a 500Ω to 100 kΩ resistor between the +5V terminal (TB18 or TB50 terminal 1)
and the output terminal you want to test.
4. Connect the voltmeter’s common lead to the output terminal, and connect the voltmeter’s
positive lead to the +5V terminal.
5. Restore power to the controller.
6. If you are testing a control output, turn the output on and off by setting the loop to 100
percent and 0 percent output power (see Changing the Control Mode and Output Power
on page 66). When the output is off (0 percent), the output voltage should be less than
1V. When the output is on (100 percent), the output voltage should be b4.75 and
+5.25V.
7. If you are testing a digital output not used for control, use the I/O tests menu to turn the
output on and off. See Test Digital Output 1 to 20 on page 132.
Testing Digital Inputs
1. Switch off power to the controller.
2. Disconnect any system wiring from the input to be tested.
3. Restore power to the controller.
4. Go to the
Digital inputs
parameter in the
I/O tests
menu.
5. Attach a wire to the terminal of the digital input to test. When the wire is connected only to
the digital input terminal, the
Digital inputs
parameter should show that the input is off (
0
).
When you connect the other end of the wire to controller common (TB50 terminal 3), the
Digital inputs
parameter should show that the input is on (
1
).
