Troubleshooting
COM-2(PC)F36
Does the sample program work?
Check the following:
- Signals are connected to the correct pins.
- Pin connections on the I/O cables are secure.
- Signals are present at the external connectors.
- Try using the COM-2(PC)F board with other non-essential boards
removed. Remove other boards one by one, checking the
COM-2(PC)F for successful operation after each board is
removed.
Is the input data accurate?
If you believe something is wrong with either the input data or the
output data, check the following:
- Environmental noise. Move the equipment and cables away
from sources of electrical noise. Try an isolated power source.
- Dirty connector edge. Clean the edge.
- External connectors fit tightly. Separate and reattach external
cables.
