IV. Common Faults and Solutions


Redundant Switching Failure
Possible Causes: Errors or interruptions in the synchronous data between the main and standby control units; faults in the redundant communication link, such as damaged connecting cables or loose interfaces; faults in the standby control unit itself; power module faults causing the standby unit to be unable to supply power normally.
Solutions: Check the synchronous data link between the main and standby units to ensure normal data transmission, and the synchronization status can be viewed through special diagnostic tools. Check whether the redundant communication cables are intact and the interfaces are firmly connected, and replace the cables if necessary. Replace the standby unit with a normal one for testing to determine if it is a standby unit fault. Check whether the power module output of the standby unit is normal to ensure that the standby unit can receive stable power supply.


Communication Failure
Possible Causes: Physical damage to the Ethernet interface or serial interface; faults in communication cables, such as broken network cables or poor contact of USB cables; incorrect communication parameter settings, such as IP address conflicts, incorrect subnet mask or gateway settings; mismatched communication protocols.
Solutions: Check whether the communication interface is physically damaged, and replace the corresponding interface module if damaged. Replace the communication cable to ensure that the cable is firmly connected and intact. Check the communication parameter settings to ensure that parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway match the network environment to avoid conflicts. Confirm that the protocol used is consistent with that of the communication device, and reconfigure the protocol parameters if not.


Power Failure
Possible Causes: Input voltage exceeding the specified range; internal circuit damage of the power module; loose or poor contact of the power connection line; poor heat dissipation causing the power module to overheat.
Solutions: Check whether the input voltage is within the range of 100-240V AC to ensure stable voltage. If the power module is damaged, replace it with a new one. Check the power connection line, re-plug and fasten the connection plug to ensure good contact. Clean the heat dissipation holes of the power module and ensure that the cooling fan works normally to avoid power failure caused by overheating.


Abnormal Program Operation
Possible Causes: Logical errors or loopholes in the program; incorrect settings of variables or addresses used in the program; abnormal external input signals leading to abnormal program execution; insufficient memory causing program operation interruption.
Solutions: Use programming software to check and debug the program, find logical errors and variable setting errors in the program through the online monitoring function, and correct them. Check whether the external input signals are normal to eliminate the impact of sensor faults or signal interference. Optimize the program by deleting unnecessary data and codes to free up memory space. If the memory is still insufficient, consider upgrading the memory module.


Module Cannot Be Recognized
Possible Causes: The module is not correctly installed in the rack slot, resulting in poor contact with the backplane; the module itself is faulty; the rack or backplane is faulty and cannot communicate with the module; the system firmware version is too low to support the module.
Solutions: Reinstall the module into the rack slot to ensure firm installation and good contact with the backplane. Replace with a spare module for testing. If the spare module can be recognized, it indicates that the original module is faulty and needs to be replaced. Check whether the rack or backplane is damaged, and replace them if necessary. Upgrade the system firmware to the latest version to ensure that the system supports the module.
