Troubleshooting Your System

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your controller. Topics include:

understanding the controller LED status

controller error recovery model

identifying controller faults

calling Rockwell Automation for assistance

The controller status LEDs provide a mechanism to determine the current status of the controller if a programming device is not present or available.
