What to do if Emerson Aventics G3 Industrial Equipment outputs remain on when communication is lost?
To resolve this, verify that the communication fault/idle mode parameter setting is not set to “Hold Last Output State.” This setting can cause outputs to remain on when communication is lost or the PLC is in “Program” mode.
Why Emerson Aventics G3 Industrial Equipment valve outputs do not energize?
Check for 24VDC on the +24 VDC (Valves and Outputs) pin of the MINI Auxiliary Power connector of the Comm. module. The absence of output power or improper connection on the Auxiliary Power connector can prevent valve outputs from energizing.
How to fix the wrong valve solenoid coils being energized in Emerson Industrial Equipment?
Ensure that the correct Z-BoardTM types are installed. A mismatch (single Z-BoardTM present where double Z-BoardTM expected or vice versa) can cause this issue. Also, check that the ribbon cable (Output group No. 2) is connected to the appropriate valve station.
What to do if valve outputs do not energize on Emerson Industrial Equipment?
If the valve outputs on your Emerson Industrial Equipment aren't energizing, the issue might stem from a lack of output power or an improper connection at the Auxiliary Power connector. To resolve this, check for 24VDC on the +24 VDC (Valves and Outputs) pin of the MINI Auxiliary Power connector on the Comm. module.
Why do outputs remain on when communication is lost or PLC is in 'Program' mode on Emerson Industrial Equipment?
If the outputs remain active even when communication is lost or the PLC is in 'Program' mode on your Emerson Industrial Equipment, the Communication Fault parameters in the PLC configuration might be set incorrectly. Review the G3 Slave Node Configuration Comm. Fault Parameter to address this issue.
How to troubleshoot 'No Activity/Link LED' on Emerson Industrial Equipment?
If you are experiencing a 'No Activity/Link LED' issue on your Emerson Industrial Equipment, this could be due to a network connection problem. Verify the type of cable being used (straight-thru or crossover) and check the cable's wiring to ensure it is correct.
What to do if the wrong valve solenoid coils are being energized in Emerson Industrial Equipment?
If the wrong valve solenoid coils are being energized in your Emerson Industrial Equipment, it could be due to a Z-BoardTM type mismatch, such as a single Z-BoardTM being present where a double Z-BoardTM is expected, or vice versa. To fix this, check that the correct Z-BoardTM types are installed and ensure that the ribbon cable (Output group No. 2) is connected to the appropriate valve station.
