  If you're experiencing abnormal analogue input device operation with your SMC Networks Microphone system, try the following: * Check if the green PWR LED of the SI unit is ON. If it's off, or the red LED is ON, supply 24 VDC ±10% to the power supply for control and input. * Verify the analogue input device specification and set the input signal range accordingly. * Ensure the analogue data format is properly set. * Confirm the wiring is correctly connected between the analogue input device and the analogue input unit. * If the issue continues, replace the analogue input unit or device with a normal one to check the operation.

  If you are experiencing abnormal analogue output device operation with your SMC Networks Microphone system, consider the following steps: * Check if the green PWR(V) LED of the SI unit is ON. If the LED is off, or the red LED is ON, supply 24 VDC +10/-5% to the power supply for output. * Verify the analogue output device specification and set the output signal range accordingly. * Ensure the data format of the analogue output unit is properly set. * Confirm the wiring is correctly connected between the analogue output device and the analogue output unit. * If necessary, replace the analogue output unit or device with a normal one to check the operation. * Check whether the ladder program etc. of PLC are correct.

  If you are experiencing abnormal digital input device operation with your SMC Networks Microphone system, consider the following steps: * Ensure that the polarity (PNP, NPN) of the input unit and the input device are the same. If they are different, replace one of them to match. * Check that the green PWR LED of the SI unit is ON. If the LED is off, or the red LED is ON, supply 24 VDC ±10% to the power supply for control and input. * Verify the wiring is correctly connected between the digital input device and the digital input unit. * If the issue persists, replace the input unit or the input device with a normal one to check if that resolves the problem.

  If you are experiencing abnormal digital output device operation with your SMC Networks Microphone system, here are some things to check: * Ensure that the polarity (PNP, NPN) of the output unit and the output device match; replace one if they are different. * Verify that the green PWR(V) LED of the SI unit is ON. If it's off or the red LED is ON, supply 24 VDC +10/-5% to the power supply for output. * Make sure the wiring is correctly connected between the digital output device and the digital output unit. * If problems persist, try replacing the output unit or the output device with a normal one to see if that resolves the issue. * Check whether the ladder program etc. of PLC are correct.

  Joseph Martinez PhDAug 28, 2025
  If the Red ST(I) LED is flashing on your SMC Networks Microphone system, it indicates a diagnosis error where the ON/OFF count of the input device has exceeded the set value. You should check the parts with error by using the LED display or PLC or H.T. Reset the ON/OFF count to zero or change the set value, or invalidate diagnosis.

  Laura DyerAug 25, 2025
  If the red LED is flashing on your SMC Networks Microphone system, it indicates a communication timeout. This means a process active timeout has been generated. Check that the signal line is properly connected from the PLC, ensure the communication timeout interval to the EX600 is less than the set value of Process active timeout, and keep noise sources away from the communication and power supply cables. After checking these, restart the system.

What to do if SMC Networks Microphone system shows abnormal valve operation?
- A
  Ashley MackAug 23, 2025
  If you observe abnormal valve operation in your SMC Networks Microphone system, consider the following potential causes and solutions: * Check if the ladder program of PLC, etc. is correct. * Verify if the green PWR(V) LED of the SI unit is ON. If it's off, or the red LED is ON, supply 24 VDC +10/-5% to the power supply for output. * Ensure the connectors between the SI unit and manifold valve are not damaged and are correctly connected. * If the polarity of the SI unit and the valve are different, replace one of them to make the combination match. * Replace the SI unit or the valve with a normal one to check the operation.
