[c]FP-DIO-550 Will Not Power OnHardware: Compact FieldPoint>>Discrete I/O Modules>>cFP-DIO-550, FieldPoint>>Discrete I/O Modules>>FP-DIO-550
Problem: I have a [c]FP-DIO-550 module in my FieldPoint system. I notice that when I apply power to the system, all modules, including the [c]FP-DIO-550, blink momentarily, but the [c]FP-DIO-550 always powers off afterwards. I tried to add the module manually under Remote Systems in MAX, but because I could not find the module in the list, I was unable to access it this way either. How can I recognize this module in my system? Solution: This is a known issue with some [c]FP-DIO-550 modules, which is a result of a bug in the firmware on the modules. The bug only affects revision D and earlier [c]FP-DIO-550 modules and revision E and earlier (classic) FP-DIO-550 modules. The particular revision is identified by the letter within the part number. For example, a revision E FP-DIO-550 module will have part number 190993E-01. This issue does not exist on later revisions of the module. If you hot swap an affected (classic) FP-DIO-550 module into your FieldPoint bank (i.e. insert the module after the bank is powered on), the module may initialize correctly. Inserting the module quickly will usually cause the module to initialize properly, while inserting the module slowly will typically cause it to fail. Although its behavior is unpredictable, once the module is initialized, it will continue to function correctly until the bank loses power. To address this problem, there are two options:
