How to Access the Discrete Module Diagnostics Function

At a Glance

The Module diagnostics function displays current errors, where these exist, classed according to their category:

Internal faults:
- Module failures,
- Self-tests running,
External faults:
- Terminal block fault,
Other faults:
- Configuration fault,
- Module missing or off,
- Faulty channel(s).

A module fault is indicated when certain LEDs change to red, such as:

In the Fipio bus window:
- The connection point number of the module on the Fipio bus is red.
In all screens at module level:
- The I/O LED according to the type of fault,
- The Channel LED in the Channel field.
A red LED on the Fault tab.

NOTE: If you disconnect a TBX extension module from the base module when this is configured, on power up the TBX base module will appear faulty on the Fipio bus and the I/O LED will turn red.

The following table shows the procedure for accessing the Module fault screen.

Step	Action
1	Open the module on which you would like to perform diagnostics.
2	Click on the module reference in the channel zone and select the Fault tab. Result: the list of module faults appears. Note: In the event of major failure, absence of the module, certain configuration faults, or a major configuration fault, access to the module diagnostics screen is not possible. The following message then appears on the screen: The module is not present or different from the one configured in this position.
