Troubleshooting
In this chapter you will learn how to troubleshoot your VHSC
module using the indicators on the front of the module, and the
troubleshooting flowchart.
The indicators on the front of the module are an aid in
troubleshooting. These indicators consist of:
• active indicator
• input indicators
• output indicators
• fault indicator
The active indicator is on when the module has successfully powered
up. When an input indicator (A, B) is on, it indicates that the input is
high. When the output indicator is on, it indicates that the module
has commanded the output to be on. When a gate/reset indicator (G)
is on, its input is high. Since that signal can be inverted, it does not
indicate whether the signal on that terminal is necessarily logically
true.
A troubleshooting chart is shown below.
