Troubleshooting by Slave Unit Type

Model
All Slave Units The MS and NS indicators do not light green.
Slave Units with out- Cannot hold outputs when communications
puts errors occur.
Cannot clear outputs when communications
errors occur.
Slave Units with There is a delay with the ON and OFF timing for
inputs input values.
Slave Units with The Unconnected Line Detection Status Flag
Unconnected Line turned ON for an unused input.
Detection Function
The Unconnected Line Detection Status Flag
turned ON even though the sensor power sup-
ply was connected.
Slaves with Discon- The Disconnected Line Detection Status Flag
nected Line Detec- turned ON for an unused output.
tion
The Disconnected Line Detection Status Flag
turned ON even though the external load was
connected.
The Slave Unit is not participating in the network.
• Check that all Slave Unit connectors are connected correctly.
• Check that the Master Unit is operating correctly. If using an OMRON Master Unit, check the

• If using a Master from another manufacturer, refer to the user's manual for that Master.
• Check that the communications cable is wired correctly.
• Check that the power supply cable and power supply are wired correctly and that the set-
tings are correct.
• Check connector wiring to make sure that the communications cable and power supply
cables are not disconnected.
Check the following items and take corrective measures based on the Master Unit indicator

Disable unconnected line detection for that
input.
Current consumption is low.
(Output current: 3 mA max.)
Disable unconnected line detection for that
input (so that the unconnected line detection
function does not operate.)
Disconnected line detection is enabled for an
unused output.
Disable disconnected line detection for that out-
put.
Current consumption is low.
(Output current: 3 mA max.)
Disable disconnected line detection for that out-
put (so that the disconnected line detection
function does not operate.)
