Table 31: Status LED
Status LED | Description | Explanation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mostly Off | Offline | Everything is OK with in the I/O Module and the I/O Module is not being scanned. |
|
| Check that the Network Adapter is commanded to scan QCPort. This is generally done by setting bit 0 of byte |
|
| 0, for channel A, in the output assembly. |
|
|
|
Mostly On | Online | Everything is OK with in the I/O Module and the I/O Module is being scanned. |
|
|
|
50% | Faulted | Internal memory fault (cycle power). |
|
| Verify that there are not any duplicate Group ID’s (address). Check that the address is unique for the QCPort |
|
| system. |
|
| The Group ID was changed and a reset is required. |
|
| Buss fault. All the devices on the QCPort will have the same status LED behavior. A buss fault is caused by an |
|
| open or QCPort shorted buss. |
|
|
|
Rapid Flash | Unacquired | The I/O Module has not been discovered/acquired by the Network Adapter, verify that the node ID is set |
|
| correctly for the system. |
|
| The Network Adapter has not auto configured the QCPort system. In this case all the I/O Module’s will have |
|
| the same behavior of the status LED. Perform an auto configuration. |
|
| CH Studio is identifying that device. When the device is highlighted in CH Studio this is a way to identify in |
|
| the field which device is being highlighted. Remove the highlight from CH Studio and verify that the Rapid |
|
| Flash disappears. |
|
|
|
Solid On |
| It is possible the I/O Module is in firmware download mode, cycle power to exit that mode. If the LED stays |
|
| solid On after the power cycle, it is possible that the I/O Module has in internal failure and will need to be |
|
| replaced. |
|
|
|
Off | No Power | The I/O Module is not powered or a memory fault in NV RAM has occurred that will require the I/O Module to |
|
| be replaced. |

Communication Hints

|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Are all the QCPort devices | Check the Network Adapter, is the ST LED Green? – If the LED is green, then perform an auto configuration of |
| |
connected to one Network | the Network Adapter and see if the problem goes away. |
| |
Gateway are not |
|
| |
There may be a damaged I/O Module or a shorted QCPort communication wire that is prohibiting QCPort |
| ||
communicating? Are all the |
| ||
communications. Remove all the I/O Modules from the QCPort system. |
| ||
Status LED’s either Rapid |
| ||
Flash or 50% On | Unplug the Network Adapter from the industrial network. |
| |
|
| ||
| Cycle power to the Network Adapter. |
| |
| One by one plug the I/O Modules back in and verify that the status LED is mostly off as they are plugged back in. | ||
| When the I/O Module the causes the system to fail is plugged in, the I/O Module’s status LED will rapid flash or | ||
| 50% flash only. |
| |
| Remove the I/O Module and check the QCPort connections for shorted or damaged wires or connections. |
| |
| When all the I/O Modules are online, plug the Network Adapter into the industrial Network. |
| |
|
|
| |
| It is possible that the terminating resistors are damaged, replace the terminating resistors. |
| |
|
|
| |
Is there a single I/O Module | The problem may be that the I/O Module has a fixable internal communication failure. Perform a reset by |
| |
in the system that is not | toggling the rotary switch from 0 to 1 five times, reset the rotary switch to the correct group ID (address). |
| |
communicating? |
|
| |
It is also possible the Group ID rotary switch was changed after auto configuration. Check the rotary switch and | |||
| |||
| verify that they are in the correct position for that address. Physically move the rotary switch from one position | ||
| to another to verify that it is in the correct position (there will be a “snap” when it reaches the next state). |
| |
| Unplug and replug the device and check that the problem disappears. |
| |
|
|
| |
| It is possible that the communication connections are damaged or unplugged. |
| |
|
|
| |
| It is possible that the terminating resistors are damaged, replace the terminating resistors. |
| |
|
|
| |
During auto configuration | Check the status LEDs on the I/O Module units, if the LEDs are rapid flashing or 50% On refer to the above |
| |
the Network Adapter will not | problem for a solution. |
| |
detect any of the I/O |
|
| |
If the status LEDs on the I/O Module units are all slow flashing, the Network Adapter has already connected to | |||
Modules. | |||
the I/O Module units and the problem is that the CH Studio software is not displaying the I/O Module units. This | |||
| |||
| can be because the scanner is not allowing CH Studio to send long messages. |
| |
|
|
| |
| The Network Adapter cannot perform an auto configuration if the system controller is scanning the Network |
| |
| Adapter. Disconnect the Network Adapter from the industrial network and reattempt the auto configuration. |
