4. Test Your Inputs<br />
After successful processor initialization and test, you may begin<br />
testing inputs following these steps:<br />
1. Assuming you are still online with the programming device, put<br />
the controller into the Continuous Scan Test mode. This allows<br />
the processor to scan the I/O and program, but not turn on any<br />
physical outputs.<br />
2. Monitor the data in data File 1, the input data file. All configured<br />
Inputs should be displayed.<br />
3. Make sure the first input slot, whatever slot number that may be,<br />
is shown on the monitor.<br />
4. Select the first input device connected to the first input terminal<br />
on the input module in the I/O chassis.<br />
5. Manually close and open the addressed input device.<br />
!<br />
ATTENTION: Never reach into a machine to actuate<br />
a device, unexpected machine operation could occur.<br />
6. Observe the associated bit status using the programming device<br />
monitor function. Also, observe input status LED.<br />
A. When the input device is closed and the signal power is at the<br />
input terminal, the associated status bit is set to a one, and the<br />
input status LED should turn on.<br />
B. When the input device is opened and signal power does not<br />
exist at the input terminal, the associated status bit is set to a<br />
0, and the input status LED should go off.<br />
7. If associated bit status and input status LED match input device<br />
status, select the next input device and repeat steps 5 and 6 until<br />
all inputs in the SLC 500 chassis have been tested.<br />
If associated bit status and input status LED does not match the<br />
input device status, follow the recommended troubleshooting<br />
steps listed in chapter 10.<br />
