3.6Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the Use the following procedures and Table 3-10 to troubleshoot your system. System

First examine your V- or K-memory tables to ensure that the data to be loaded into the module makes sense.

Utilize the worksheets located at the end of this chapter to calculate key address locations.

Examine the relay ladder program to verify that the V-memory tables are being loaded into the correct WY65 ± WY96 output registers.

Examine the starting address of the module and ensure that the offsets for the X16 input Module_Ready = (starting address + 15) and that the Y outputs = (starting address + 16), that the WX registers = (starting address + 32) and the WY registers = (starting address + 64).

Examine the relay ladder program to verify that the addresses used match the offsets as described above and those from the worksheets.

Verify that the data identification outputs Y19 ± Y17 properly reference the data that is being loaded.

Use the TISOFT status and chart functions to debug the program and to verify that the X16 Module_Ready input does indeed turn on. If this input does not turn on, there is a problem with the module. Contact the Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc., Technical Services Group.

Verify that the Y32 Data_Ready output does indeed turn on to load the data into the SIMATIC 505±2557 module.

Place a known input value on the module channel and verify that the channel is producing the correct results.
