VII. Common Faults and Troubleshooting

No output from the channel (LED does not light up)

Reason: Loose wiring, short circuit of the load, module not securely plugged in, bus abnormality

Troubleshooting: Measure terminal voltage, disconnect the load for testing, reinstall the module

LED constantly on (output locked)

Reason: Internal module fault, bus data abnormality, overheating protection

Troubleshooting: Power off and restart, check bus communication, replace the module

Insufficient output current

Reason: Overloaded load, module protection triggered, backplane power supply abnormal

Troubleshooting: Reduce load current, check module temperature, confirm backplane power supply
