Common Faults and Solutions

• No Response from Digital Inputs
• Possible causes: Input cable open circuit, abnormal power voltage, or damaged input channels.
• Solutions: Use a multimeter to check if input voltage is 24VDC, inspect cable connections, replace cables or test other input channels. If channels are damaged, contact professional maintenance personnel for repair or module replacement.
• No Action from Digital Outputs
• Possible causes: Output load overload, oxidized relay contacts (for relay-type outputs), or incorrect output parameter settings.
• Solutions: Check if load current exceeds the rated value, manually test relay contact continuity, and reconfigure output logic and parameters.
• Communication Interruption
• Possible causes: IP address conflict, poor communication cable contact, incorrect protocol configuration, or electromagnetic interference.
• Solutions: Ensure the module's IP address does not conflict with other devices in the system, check communication cable connections, replace network cables or inspect RJ45 connectors, reconfigure communication protocol parameters, and shield communication lines to reduce electromagnetic interference.
• Module Overheating
• Possible causes: Poor ventilation in the installation environment or operating temperature exceeding the range.
• Solutions: Ensure the module is installed in a well-ventilated location, avoid operation above 70°C, and add cooling fans or improve ventilation if necessary.
