Chapter A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips A.1 General Troubleshooting Steps Follow these steps in troubleshooting 6800+ product problems: Review the “Software Communication and Control Issues” on page Note: Associated documentation for 6800+ series products can generally be found in the product-specific manual that accompanies every module, in the FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual, and in the 6800+ Safety Instructions and Standards Manual.
Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips A.2 Software Communication and Control Issues A.2.1 PilotLite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules Confirm that the following items are not the reason for the communication failure: Proper module slot has not been specified (PilotLite is not communicating with the appropriate slot). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on slot identification.
Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips A.2.3 Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding Note: PilotLite and CCS applications such as PilotLite or Navigator cannot run on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but only one can be opened at a time. A.2.4 Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing in the Control Window Consider these questions:...
Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips A.3 Hardware Communication and Control Issues A.3.1 Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure You must exit the software and restart after the frame recovers from its power failure. To restore communications between the PC and the frames, ensure that the frames have three or more minutes to recover from the power failure before you exit the application and restart the PC.
