1794-OB16D Diagnostic
Functional Details
Two module indicators and four diagnostic bits report fault conditions:
• the module fault indicator illuminates red and the individual faulted
channel indicator also illuminates red under output ON state open and
output OFF state short conditions.
• the module fault indicator illuminates red for reverse user power
conditions.
• the open bit is set for open load and wiring conditions in the output OFF
state.
• the short bit is set for shorted load and wiring conditions in the output
ON state.
• the reverse power bit is set for reverse polarity user power conditions.
• the module fault bit is set for any open, short, or reverse power conditions
detected.
The module’s diagnostic capability depends on whether the output is energized
(ON) or de-energized (OFF).
