Procedure #1
Table 7-5 explains how to troubleshoot power failure symptoms.
Table 7-5 Troubleshooting Power Failure Symptoms
Step What to do How to do it
1
Check the AC line voltage. Use a voltmeter to measure the AC voltage
across terminals L1 and L2 on the rear
terminal panel of the controller.
Check the earth ground connection.
2
Make sure the chassis plugs
into the rear of the case
properly.
Withdraw the chassis and visually inspect the
controller board and the inside of the case.
3
Check the system for Brown-
outs, heavy load switching, etc.,
and conformance to installation
instructions.
Refer to
Section 2 - Installation.
4
Change Power board. Installation instructions supplied with new
board.
Procedure #2
Table 7-6 explains how to troubleshoot Current Output failure symptoms.
Table 7-6 Troubleshooting Current Output Failure
Step What to do How to do it
1
Make sure the controller is
configured for Current output
and the proper range (4 to 20 or
0 to 20) is configured.
Make Output Set Up group function prompt
OUT ALG = CUR.
Make the Output Set UP group function
prompt CRANGE = 4–20 or 0–20 per your
application.
Refer to
Section 3 - Configuration.
2
Check the field wiring. Output impedance must be less than or equal
to 1000 ohms.
3
Check the output. Put the controller into Manual mode and
change the output from 0 % to 100 % (4-20
mA). Use a DC milliammeter at the rear
terminals to verify the output.
4
Recalibrate the Current
Proportional output.
Refer to
Section 6 - Output Calibration for
details.
5
Change Current Output board. Installation instructions provided with new
board.
