  If the Reliance Electric Control Unit's DRIVE Status Indicator is flashing red, it could be due to a communication issue. In Single mode, the module might not be receiving communication from the drive. In Multi-Drive mode, it might not be receiving communication, or the drive might not be a Reliance Electric drive. Here are some troubleshooting steps: * Verify the setting for parameter 22 (MDI I/O Cfg). * Ensure cables are securely connected and undamaged; replace if necessary. * Try cycling power to the drive. * Make sure you are using Reliance Electric MD65 and MD 60 AC Drives.

  If the NET B Status Indicator on your Reliance Electric Control Unit is off, it indicates the module is not powered or transmitting on the EtherNet/IP network.

If Net A is solid Red: * Configure the module to use a unique IP address and cycle power. If Net A is flashing red: * Check the IP address in the module and scanner. * Ping the module. Note: This is normal if the module is idle.
