Publication 1768-IN004D-JA-P - December 2009
Troubleshooting System Power
The CompactLogix Power Supply works in conjunction with the CompactLogix controller to supply power to the system. When troubleshooting system power, consider both devices. Both devices must be considered.
Important: Before disconnecting, reconnecting, or replacing components, always disconnect power and verify that all system indicators are off.
To troubleshoot system power issues, use the CompactLogix Power Supply PWR status indicator and the CompactLogix controller PWR and I/O PWR indicators. If the power supply is not operating correctly, the controller will also not operate correctly. First, diagnose and fix any power-related problems before troubleshooting the controller.
- Investigate the power supply's PWR status indicator.
- If the power supply is operating correctly, the power supply's PWR status indicator will be green. Investigate the controller's PWR indicator.
- If the controller's PWR status indicator is green, investigate the I/O PWR status indicator.
Publication 1768-IN004D-JA-P - December 2009
Troubleshooting the Controller's PWR Indicator
For this task, assume the power supply's PWR indicator is green.
Controller's PWR Indicator Status | Recommended Action |
---|---|
Off | Verify that all modules in the system are installed correctly and interconnected properly. If the indicator remains off, follow the corrective actions below. |
Green | The controller is powering the 1768 modules in the system. Investigate the controller's I/O PWR status indicator to verify that the entire system is operating correctly. |
Red | The controller or a 1768 module in the system needs to be replaced. Follow the corrective actions below. |
- Disconnect power and wait for all status indicators to turn off.
- Disconnect all 1768 modules from the system, except for the controller.
- Reconnect power.
- Check the controller's PWR indicator.
- If the status indicator remains red, replace the controller.
- If the status indicator is green, one of the 1768 modules is causing the red indicator.
- Disconnect power.
- Reconnect the 1768 modules one at a time, cycling power after each reconnection, and check the controller's PWR indicator each time.
- If the controller's PWR indicator turns red, the last module installed is causing the red indicator. Refer to the installation instructions for each 1768 module for troubleshooting.
Publication 1768-IN004D-JA-P - December 2009
Troubleshooting the I/O PWR Indicator
For this task, assume the power supply and controller PWR indicators are green, and that the system has 1769 I/O modules.
Controller's I/O PWR Indicator Status (1) | Recommended Action |
---|---|
Off | Replace the controller. |
Green | The controller is operating correctly. No corrective action is required. |
Red and Green Flashing | Verify that the 1769 I/O module or end cap is properly installed, then cycle power. |
Red | The 1769 Power Supply can be installed in a local bank. Otherwise, there is a problem with the controller or a 1769 I/O in the system. Follow the corrective actions below. |
(1) If there is no problem, the I/O PWR status indicator will briefly turn red when the controller is powered on, then turn green. If the indicator remains red, troubleshoot the problem using the table below.
- If the 1769 Power Supply is installed in a local bank, remove it and cycle power.
If the I/O PWR indicator remains red, proceed to the next steps.
- Turn off power and wait for all status indicators to turn off.
- Disconnect the 1769 I/O modules from the system.
- Reconnect power.
- Check the controller's I/O PWR indicator.
- If the indicator is red, replace the controller.
- If the indicator is green, one of the 1769 I/O modules is causing the red indicator. Refer to the installation instructions for each 1769 I/O module for troubleshooting.
