Troubleshooting

This chapter provides procedures for diagnosing State Logic Processor (SLP) problems. If these procedures do not solve the problem, contact the GE Fanuc Hotline (1-800-828-5747) for assistance.

Status LED is not ON Steady

1.Check that power is supplied to the I/O rack housing the SLP. Try removing and reinstalling the SLP.

2.Cycle power to the SLP, then press the reset button for more than 5 seconds.

3.Turn the power OFF and disconnect the battery and short the SLP battery terminal connection points to clear the SLP. Reconnect the battery, turn ON power again, and reset the SLP.

4.Check that the CPU is functioning properly by checking its ªOKº LED.

5.Check that there are no empty slots between the CPU and the SLP. If there are empty slots, the Status LED blinks continuously.

6.If the Status LED is still not ON, try to download a program from ECLiPS or OnTOP. If you can connect with the SLP and download a program, then the Status LED is faulty.

7.If you get a message that ECLiPS or OnTOP cannot connect to the controller, then check the fault table in the CPU using Logicmaster 90. If there is a fault ªBad or missing moduleº, then the SLP is faulty and must be returned for repairs.

8.If there is no fault then contact the GE Fanuc Hotline for assistance.

This section is split into two parts, communication problems to ECLiPS or OnTOP and problems with other serial devices.
