Bad module details
When an I/O module’s error status is BAD MODULE, the module’s status LED on the controller is flashed
red with a number of quick strobes followed by a long off time. Table 23 outlines the potential module
diagnostics.

1 FAIL SAFE The module is in the failsafe state
because it is not receiving message
requests from the CPU or Scanner
at a rate that satisfies the configured
failsafe timeout.

1. If expansion I/O rack, go to step 2. If
no expansion I/O rack, go to step 3.
2. Check the Scanner
status LED (see
Scanner Indicators in HC900
Process Controller manual, #51-52-
25-107).
If it’s flashing 6 times, proceed
with step 3.
If it’s flashing some other red
status code (refer to Scanner
Indicators in HC900 Process
Controller manual, #51-52-25-107)
to solve that problem first.
If it’s flashing green, the module
probably is not required in the
configuration.
If it’s not on or steady, cycle
power to the scanner.
3. Make sure the module is the correct
one for the configuration.
4. Remove the module and check for
a bent pin, then reinsert the module
5. Replace the module
6.
Remove other modules and replace
one at a time until the problem
reoccurs. Most likely the last module
inserted needs to be replaced.
7. Replace the rack.
