Check the field wiring and termination resistor.

Make sure the Communications Printed Wiring Board is installed properly in the controller.

Determine if the Communications board is faulty by running a LOCAL LOOPBACK TEST.

If the test fails, replace the board.

Depending on the protocol used, refer to the proper communications manual installation section.

Withdraw the chassis from the case and inspect the board. See the exploded view (Figure 10-1) for location of the board. Return the chassis to the case.
