Example 3 This is an example of 'extreme editing' where the original version is very thorough as if it was going to teach an individual or be spoken in a training class. The edited version is highly condensed as if it was going to be used in a training class and then possibly taken into the field to be used for reference. When working with a client, it is determined up front who the audience will be and how much editing is required for the project, so the final result will be somewhere between these two versions. From
this: TROUBLESHOOTING The
lights are very useful in finding out what is wrong with the
system. It is probable that you are reading this because you
have received a communications fault alarm for Slave Panel 2,
Slave Panel 3 or both. Note
that there is a separate alarm at each end of the links so that
a failure of one link should generate two alarms, but only one
call out. Also note that you will be looking at lots of blinking
lights. Do not be concerned about the exact sequence of
blinking. It is
often so fast that it is hard to tell if the was RX TX Tx Rx or
Rx Tx Rx Tx. This
is not important, only if you get an RX or a TX or both.
During troubleshooting, be patient, watch carefully, and
write down what you see so you dont have to go back several
times. A form for this is in Appendix A.
Also, in many cases, the instructions will indicate that
the component should be rebooted (remove power and return
power). Please do
not do this indiscriminately as it does provide a shock to the
system and can cause damage.
That is, when a person has a heart attack, a defibullator
can save their lives, but if they are healthy, it can be fatal.
The same is true for the communications system; do not
reboot the system without suspecting that the equipment needs
rebooting. Always
start at the Master WTP and review what is supposed to happen. Eventually you should come across an abnormality which means
that the message has stopped at this point.
It is wise to continue on at least one more point as a
transmit message could be getting through but the receive is not
coming back. If a
station is transmitting, and the next station is not receiving,
the problem is likely with one of those two devices. If it is
transmitting and the next device is receiving and transmitting
then you need to go down the line further.
Eventually you will find out where the message is being
received but not transmit. The following might further help your
troubles. WTP
PLC (THE BEGINNING) If
the MB+ light (3) isnt blinking rapidly (4 times per second
or so), you have a problem with the PLC or the MB85+.
If it is blinking at the PLC but not the MB85, first
check the cable between the MB+ ports to ensure it has not come
loose, then power off the MB85 and power it up again after 15
seconds. If it is
not blinking at either end, then check that the PLC run light is
on (see panel door). It
is not recommended that you reboot the PLC without further
advice. MB85 Assume the MB+ light is blinking regularly but the Port 1 light is not. Check the cable between Port 1 and the Telebyte to ensure it has not come loose. Note if port 4 is blinking or not (it usually blinks twice per second). If Port 1 is not blinking and the cable is tight, power off the MB85, wait 15 seconds and power it on again. Note any changes.
