Troubleshooting  167
Off On/energized Your output 
device will not 
turn off and the 
program 
indicates that it 
is off.
Output device is 
incompatible.
Check specifications.
Output circuit off-state 
leakage current may 
exceed output device 
specification.
Check specifications. Use load resistor to bleed off 
leakage current. See output specifications.
Incorrect wiring. Check wiring. Disconnect from SLC processor and verify 
device operation.
Output device is 
shorted or damaged.
Verify device operation. Replace device.
Output circuit is 
damaged.
Check wiring. Try other output circuit. Replace module.
Off/de-energized Your program 
indicates that the 
output circuit is 
on or the output 
circuit will not 
turn on.
Programming problem. Check for duplicate outputs and addresses using search 
function.
If using subroutines, outputs are left in their last state 
when not executing subroutines.
Use the force function to force output on. If this does not 
force the output on, output circuit is damaged. If the output 
does force on, then check again for logic/programming 
problem.
Output is forced off in 
program.
Check processor FORCED I/O or FORCE status indicator and 
remove forces.
Output circuit is 
damaged.
Use the force function to force the output on. If this forces 
the output on, then there is a logic/programming problem. 
If this does not force the output on, the output circuit is 
damaged. Try other output circuit. Replace module.
If your 
Output 
Circuit 
status 
indicator 
is
And your output 
device is
