The controller indicates a system fault when it detects an internal fault rather

A module fault
A fault the controller cannot isolate to an individual module. For example, the
absence of every I/O module in a termination assembly group.
The System Healthy status indicator on each processor module will show red
to indicate a system fault.
Module Fault
The controller indicates a module fault when it detects a fault and can isolate it

the faulty module will show red and the System Healthy status indicator on
each processor module will also show red.
Channel Fault
The controller indicates a channel fault when it detects a fault and can isolate it
to a fault on a channel of an I/O module. The controller always reports a
