LED Indicators Possible Cause and Resolution
The ONLINE LED
is ON, but there is
no network activity.
There are several possible causes if a station cannot transfer data on the network.
These causes are described below with the appropriate action to be taken.
PLC Access Problem
To verify that the Ethernet Interface can access the PLC, issue successive
TALLY C Station Manager commands. If the PlcSweep tally is not increasing,
there are no windows being provided by the PLC.
- If any of the tallies PlcAbt, MyAbt, or Timeout are incrementing,
there may be a hardware problem with the Series 90-70 PLC backplane
interface. Check the PLC Fault Table for entries for the Ethernet
Interface.
- Make sure to set the Soft Switch parameter bponline to “YES”.
- Replace the digital controller board with a known good board.
