  Willie AndrewsAug 8, 2025
  If the element blinks yellow in the mini-SCADA page of your Woodward Control Panel, it indicates that a connection to the device cannot be established. You should check your network for IP address conflicts, verify the IP address and Modbus Slave ID of the connected easYgen-3000XT, and ensure the Modbus protocol of the connected easYgen-3000XT is set to 5016. Also, confirm that no more than two easYview devices have an active Modbus TCP connection to the same easYgen-3000XT device.

  If your Woodward Control Panel does not find the easYgen-3000XT or LS-6XT in the network device list screen, several factors could be at play. Here's what to check: * Ensure the device IP address or subnet mask is correct. * Verify all network connections and routers are functioning properly. * Confirm you are using LAN A of the easYview. * Check the network connectivity of the easYgen-3000XT or LS-6XT. * Ensure the easYgen-3000XT or LS-6XT can connect via Ethernet A. * Make sure the IP address is not being used twice on the network. * Check for any Ethernet network conflicts and contact your network administrator if needed.
