Power-On Self Test (POST)
The power-on self test (POST) is a test suite that the network module
performs at power up to verify its own operational status. The test is
non-invasive and therefore does not affect the operation of the network,
nor does it affect any of your field wiring connected to the terminal
bases in the bank.
If the self-test suite fails, the network module does not participate in the
network communication traffic, thereby eliminating potential conflicts
with the other banks in your network.
The network module indicates POST failure via the STATUS LED.
Refer to the next section, LED Indicators, for more information.
LED Indicators
The network module has four LED indicators: POWER, NETWORK,
ACCESS, and STATUS. Figures 3-1 shows the LEDs on the network
modules.
Figure 3-1.
LEDs on the FP-1000 and FP-1001
The green POWER LED is lit while the network module is powered up.
This LED indicates that the power supply connected to the network
module is acceptable, and that the network module is supplying power
to the I/O modules.
