Why is the FAULT LED flashing red on my Rockwell Automation Scanner?
- CcherylreevesAug 4, 2025
The red flashing FAULT LED on your Rockwell Automation Scanner may indicate several issues. First, the G file might be missing; in this case, enter the configuration information in the G file. Second, the G file configuration may be invalid; verify the configuration to ensure the proper G file size and settings. Finally, a duplicate node may have been detected. To resolve this, disconnect the RIO link from the scanner, then either cycle the scanner’s power or re-enter Run mode. Check for other scanners on the same network. If the problem continues, consider replacing the scanner.
