VII. Common Faults and Troubleshooting

No input on the channel (LED does not light up)

Reasons: Loose wiring, open contact points, PNP sensor failure, insufficient voltage

Troubleshooting: Measure terminal voltage, check sensor output, replace channel/module

LED constantly on (false trigger)

Reasons: Circuit short, induced voltage, internal high-speed circuit failure of the module

Troubleshooting: Disconnect signal for testing, shield the cable, replace module

Hot swapping (R type) failure

Reasons: Rack does not support hot swapping, module not tightened properly, bus abnormality

Troubleshooting: Confirm that the rack supports hot swapping, reinstall, clean interface
