Troubleshooting

This appendix provides troubleshooting instructions for the FP-1300 and
the FP-1300 Configuration Utility.
When I startup my system the MODULE STATUS LED is flashing red.
What causes this problem and how do I correct it?
A MODULE STATUS LED that flashes red at startup indicates the FP-1300
has a recoverable fault. The most likely cause is that the current I/O does
not match the saved configuration. Simply use the FP-1300 Configuration
Utility to save the new I/O configuration. It can also indicate that a hotswap
with an incompatible module has occurred.
The MODULE STATUS and CAN STATUS LEDs turn red soon after
startup. What causes this condition?
This condition is usually caused when FP-1300 is configured at a different
baud rate than the rest of the network. Run the FP-1300 Configuration
Utility to change the baud rate of the FP-1300.
I don't know the baud rate and/or base arbitration ID of the FP-1300.
What should I do?
1. Move the USER/DEF switch to the DEF setting.
2. Power the FP-1300 off, then on. The baud rate is set to 500 kb/s and
the base arbitration ID is set according to the address switches.
3. Use the FP-1300 Configuration Utility to modify the baud rate and
base arbitration ID of the module. For more information refer to
FP-1300 Configuration Utility Help.
4. If you want the I/O and message configuration to revert to the default
settings, double-click the device to open its I/O configuration screen
and save to the device here. If you want to keep the original I/O and
message configuration, do not double-click the device.
5. Move the USER/DEF switch to the USER setting and power the
FP-1300 off, then on.
