Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
Controller Diagnostics
Controller status LEDs
Status indicators on the controller consist of four LEDs that indicate good and fault conditions in the controller. These LEDs indicate controller status and help to aid troubleshooting when the operator interface is not nearby or when the controller is not communicating with the operator interface or PC. Table 19 describes the LEDs and the possible states with their meaning. Refer also to Table 20 and Table 21 for further details on the meaning of the status LEDs.

Status information, which indicates normal and/or fault conditions in the controller as a result of diagnostic routines, is accessed through either the operator interface or the user utility program.
•Using the operator interface – the DIAGNOSTIC SUMMARY display lists various controller components and their current status.
•Using the user utility program – the Controller Diagnostic Summary window provides a more extensive list of controller parameters and communications status.
I/O module diagnostics
Another status display (or window), I/O Module Diagnostics, shows the status of each of the 16 I/O module slots in the controller. Each module slot is listed along with the status of the module in that slot.
Table 20 gives the details of the messages shown in the Controller Diagnostic Summary and Table 21 describes I/O Module Diagnostics messages that may appear in each field.
