If the controller on your IOE enclosure is displaying question marks "?" for the voltage and current values, there is a communication issue between the controller and the I/O boards.
First, confirm that the fuse located in the rear of the drawer is not blown, if it is the fuse needs to be replaced. A blown fuse prevents power from being supplied to the I/O boards for measuring the various current and voltage values.
If the fuse is still good, there is likely a short on the communication bus for the IOE enclosure. You will need to check all of the Cat5 cables for damage or loose connections. |
