Recoverable Module Fault or Connection Timeout

What does ModuleStatus:FlashingRed mean?

The Module Status indicator is flashing red, which can signify several conditions: a module firmware update is in progress or failed, the device has experienced a recoverable fault, or a connection to the module has timed out. The specific cause needs to be determined via software diagnostics.

• Module firmware update is in progress
• Module firmware update attempt failed
• Device experienced a recoverable internal fault
• Connection to the module has timed out (e.g., due to cable failure)

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Allow any module firmware update to progress to completion.

2. 2

   If a firmware update failed, re-attempt the firmware update procedure.

3. 3

   Use the Logix Designer application to access the module's configuration (Connection and Module Info categories) to determine the specific fault type.

4. 4

   To clear a recoverable fault, cycle power to the module (power off, then on).

5. 5

   To clear a recoverable fault, click 'Reset Module' in the Logix Designer application via the Module Info category of the Module Properties dialog box.

6. 6

   Use the Logix Designer application to check the Connection category in Module Properties for connection timeout status and determine the cause (e.g., inspect Ethernet cable integrity).
