TROUBLESHOOTING PROGRAM NETS:

Probe Point Diagnostics:

If operation of a Program Net is not what was expected, the judicial insertion of Probe Point icons can be a valuable troubleshooting method. This insertion of Probe Point icons at various points throughout the net allows for the real-time display of the values and/or states of various nodes in the net.

To implement this method of troubleshooting, drag additional Probe Point icons onto the screen and connect them to various outputs in the net. Transfer the net to the OMP-MODL and Enable the unit. Via the front panel LCD or through HyperTrack, the status of each of the Probe Point icons can be observed. These values will commonly lead you to the crux of the problem.

Incompatible Net Warning dialog:

This message normally displays during an attempted download and enable of a Program Net that does not match the current OMP-MODL configuration. For example if a Program Net uses channels on an Interface Module that is not currently installed in the OMP-MODL, or if configuration switches on a module are not set correctly, the OMP-MODL will catch this incompatibility.

In OMP-MODLs running at higher speeds, this message may display if a Program Net upload is attempted while the OMP-MODL is Enabled. If this occurs, stop the OMP-MODL and retry the upload.

Bad Program Net warning dialog:

If the OMP-MODL currently does not have a valid Program Net in memory, this message will display upon enabling.

Correct by uploading a new Program Net.

If the problem persists, perform a 3-button initialization of the unit with the following procedure, then reprogram the unit with a new net:

A.Depress and hold the NEXT button down on the front panel.

B.Momentarily, depress the STOP and RESET buttons simultaneously, then release them.

C.After a second or so, release the NEXT button.

SYSTEM ERRORS:

No Display on the OMP-MODL LCD:

Upon power-up of the OMP-MODL, numerous internal checks are performed. In the event that the LCD never displays the standard “OMP- MODL” message, a number of problems could exist.

The main batteries may be discharged: a volt meter can be used to check the voltage across the batteries (remove cover and probe where the wires are soldered to the battery holders.) If no critical loads are connected to the Output Relay(s), a load can be put onto the batteries by holding one
