What to do if the Control Microsystems Controller output LED and output are on when they should be off?
If the output LED and the output of your Control Microsystems Controller are on when they should be off, verify that the output is not being forced on.
Why is the full-scale output less than 20mA on my Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP Controller?
If the full-scale output of your Control Microsystems Controller is less than 20mA, examine the 24V power supply and ensure that the load resistance aligns with the specified requirements.
What causes the field device to not activate when the Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP output LED comes on?
If the output LED of your Control Microsystems Controller comes on, the output is on, but the field device doesn't activate, check the field wiring and the external device.
What to do if the reading is near 0 for all input signals on my Control Microsystems Controller?
If the reading is at or near 0 for all input signals on your Control Microsystems Controller, examine the input transient suppressers for any signs of damage.
How to fix inaccurate 20mA readings on Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP Controller?
If the 20mA readings on your Control Microsystems Controller are not accurate, check for a damaged 250? current sense resistor. Also, remember that the inputs are designed for 0-20mA, not 4-20mA.
Why is the output constant on my Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP when it should be changing?
If the output of your Control Microsystems Controller is constant when it should be changing, make sure the analog outputs are not forced.
What to do if the reading on my Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP Controller is constant?
If the reading on your Control Microsystems Controller is constant, verify that the analog input is not forced.
How to troubleshoot 20mA inputs always reading 0 on a Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP Controller?
If the 20mA inputs of your Control Microsystems Controller always read 0, check the transmitter power.
Why are the outputs always 0mA on my Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP?
If the outputs of your Control Microsystems Controller are always 0mA, check the 24V power supply.
What to do if the input LED doesn't come on when signal is applied on my Control Microsystems SCADAPack LP?
If the input LED on your Control Microsystems Controller does not come on when an input signal is applied, check the input signal at the termination block. It should be at least 50% of the digital input range. For a DC input, verify the signal polarity.
