Diagnostics - Self Test Mode
An internal diagnostic tool can be enabled on the communication module (node) using the graphic display. This tool
allows the user to confirm that all of the inputs and outputs on the manifold and any of the distributed modules are
fully functional without needing a network connection or controller. There are two test modes that the user can
choose. The “CYCLE OUTPUTS” test mode tests all the outputs by sequentially turning them ON and OFF for
approximately .5 seconds. The “INPUTS” test mode tests the inputs by causing all of the outputs to toggle between
even and odd values when any input is made. The Self Test mode on the communication module (node) is a global
setting and will test all devices connected on the main manifold as well as any distributed modules and/or manifolds.
Similar “local” self tests are available on all output modules types. This “local” self-test function allows any output
module to be tested without affecting any other output module.
NOTE: The number of Valve outputs that are tested are affected by the I/O size settings.
To use the Self Test Mode, the user must first set some initial conditions. Follow these steps to initiate the self-test
mode.
1) Disconnect Air and Communication from the manifold!
2) Select the desired test mode using the graphic display. (See example below)
3) Starting at the Home Screen, navigate the menus by selecting the NEXT button until the DIAGNOSTICS
menu is shown.
4) Select the SET button to access the DIAGNOSTICS menu and then again to access the
SELF-TEST menu
5) Push NEXT to navigate to the desired test mode: CYCLE OUTPUTS or INPUTS
6) Push SET to select the desired test mode.
7) A message will appear: DISCONNECT AIR HOLD SET BUTTON
8) Hold the SET button down for approximately 10 seconds to enable the test. The Display will flash the
above message while the button is pushed.
9) When the display stops flashing, the self-test mode will run and the Module Status LED will flash
Red/Green while the display shows SELF TEST RUNNING.
10) The global self-test mode can only be disabled by disconnecting the power to the manifold.
