chand345 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hey, so I've connected my thermocouples to my UIS-08TC module and im getting a reading of -32,768 which indicates connection fault. Everything is configured correctly and I connected another thermocouple to see if the one I was using was faulty but still got the same error. Im using the watch feature to try to just at least get a temperature but again im getting a connection fault. Also My status LED is solid red which isnt on the spec sheets.

chand345 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Okay I just figured the Status LED is solid red and I dont see a case for that in the specifications. All other modules are green and all have the latest firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUT Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi chand345, Please provide TC connection diagram and snapshot of module configuration. This will help to better understand your setup. B.R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chand345 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Thank you for responding, I don't have the ability to share images at the moment. But I can give you more of a description of the problem. Even when our TC is not connected to our UIS-08TC module our status LED is a solid red color. We also have other modules connected (both in front of and after the UIS-08TC in the chain) that have different types of sensors attached which work as intended. We are not sure what a solid red light indicates so we don't know how to approach the problem From our UIS-08TC our input 1 is T0- and input 2 is T0+ connected to the TC (Type J). We've tried swapping out the module with another of the same type, as well as changing the order of the module in the chain. In the documentation the only red light that it mentions in regards to the status light is a slowly blinking or rapidly blinking status. Sorry I can't provide more detailed information. We are relatively new to the program so any information in regards to this issue would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the solid red light on my UIS-WCB2 module and I cannot figure out what the issue is. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) If it is the status LED that is solid Red check your 24VDC power. If you get 24VDC at the screw on the terminal with a multi-meter change the screw terminal header. We've seen 2 bad terminal connectors that do not make contact with the pins on the header when fully inserted on a UIS-WCB1. Drove us nuts trying to figure it out.

If it is a case of cost saving by going to an inferior product, they need to consider the ramifications. With Vision terminals I've only had instances of one poorly done screw thread that strips with the tiniest amount of torque, thus rendering the entire block useless. Often this is only found out onsite during final installation works. Very annoying if you don't have a suitable spare block on hand.....experience has taught me to always do this now. One time it was not a Unitronics product, but a complex 485 device fitted in a very awkward location, that only used standard screw connections. The very last connection point worked on was a total dud and meant changing the entire thing out.....grrrrr. Did the (very reputable) suppliers offer to pay for all the lost time and trouble in getting a changeover out of them? Ha!! I now check all screw actions on a device's arrival to the workshop. Life experience is a wonderful thing. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUT Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi, I can add to what other peoples recommend. - Check if you connect connectorfirmly. - Some peoples by mistake connect down side (output) 0V and +V to up connector instead of down connector. In some cases peoples spent days to find this. B.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
