Make sure that the 
Communications Printed Wiring 
Board is installed properly in 
the controller. 
Withdraw the chassis from the case and 
inspect the board. See the exploded view 
(
Figure 8-1) for location of the board. Return 
the chassis to the case and go back to Step 3.

Follow these next two steps if 
you saw PASS in Step 3. 
Check the field wiring and 
termination resistor. 
Turn off the power to all instruments on the 
Network. Using an ohmmeter, check the 
resistance across the communications rear 
terminals. See Section 
2.7 for wiring diagrams. 
There should be a reading equivalent to the 
value of the termination resistors. If not, 
replace termination resistors.
