    This document provides instructions for troubleshooting a "Module Error" that occurs with an analog input on an HC900 process controller. It explains that a module error can be identified by flashing lights on the CPU and confirmed in monitor mode. The document describes how to locate the specific module and input block, check the block's status and properties to disable bad channel detection, and use disabling logic to prevent errors from inputs that are not connected continuously.

    FAQ: Why do I get a Module Error with Analog


    Input?
    Answer

    A Module Error is identified by 6-Red CPU (or I/O Scanner) Flashes and confirmed by going into
    Monitor Mode , then: Monitor  Rack Diagnostics.

    With suspect Module identified, click on Controller ab and placing mouse on Block will change
    to a hyperlink and clicking on this will take you to its location on the Function Block Diagram
    (FBD)

    Now at AI block can mouse-click for status (below left)
    then Alternate click -> Monitor for details (below – right)

    By default a Bad Channel can trigger a Bad Module and on some function blocks, can be
    Disabled. On each suspect I/O Block double-click to open its Properties window.
    Below is an Analog Input example showing this feature Checked

    By default, if an Analog Input (AI) is added into a Function Block Diagram (FBD), it is expected
    to operate continuously. When this is not desired, we have support capabilities to logically turn
    an AI block Off via its Disable (DIS) pin (example below)

    There are other cases where an input may be used for monitoring, such as Load Temperature
    Sensors. These may not be connected continuously and developer does not want additional
    logic like above. In these cases, you can eliminate Module Errors by double-clicking on the AI
    function block to open its Properties, then Uncheck Bad Channel Detection (picture below).
