Common Faults and Solutions

1. No Signal Output

Cause: Power supply failure / fuse blown
Solution: Check 24V DC connection; replace fuse (2A slow-blow) on the terminal block.

2. Analog Signal Deviation

Cause: Wiring interference / calibration drift
Solution: Shield signal cables; perform hardware calibration via the configuration software.

3. Digital I/O Malfunction

Cause: Overvoltage damage / contact oxidation
Solution: Inspect voltage ratings of connected devices; clean terminal contacts with isopropyl alcohol.

4. Communication Timeout

Cause: Cable damage / protocol mismatch
Solution: Test communication cables with a multimeter; verify baud rate (default: 9600 bps) and data format (8N1).

5. Overheat Warning

Cause: Dust accumulation / insufficient ventilation
Solution: Clean the module's heat sink; ensure the control cabinet fan operates at ≥20CFM.
