| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| PLC not powering on | Power supply issue | Check voltage input; verify power connections; replace fuse if blown. |
| Communication failure | Cable/configuration | Verify cable connections; check communication settings; test with known good cable. |
| I/O points not responding | Wiring/addressing | Check field wiring; verify I/O addressing; test with voltmeter. |
| Program not running | Mode selection | Ensure PLC is in RUN mode; check for programming errors; verify memory backup. |
| Analog values inaccurate | Calibration/signal noise | Recalibrate analog inputs; check for electrical noise; verify signal conditioning. |
Reset Procedure: Power cycle PLC; use hardware reset if available.
