Flashing red
One of the following conditions exists:
  • A module firmware update is in progress.

  • The device has experienced a recoverable fault.
  • A connection to the module has timed out.
Complete one of the following:
  • Let the firmware update process complete.
  • Reattempt a firmware update after one fails.
  • Use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application to determine whether a module recoverable fault is occurred. It is shown in Device Information view.
    To clear a recoverable fault, complete one of the following:
    • Cycle module power.
    • Select Reset device in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer project via the Device Information view of the Module Properties dialog.
    If the fault does not clear after cycling power and module reset, contact Rockwell Automation Technical Support.
  • Use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application to determine if a connection has timed out. The Connection view in the Module Properties indicates whether a connection request has timed out.
    If a connection has timed out, determine the cause and correct it. For example, a cable failure can cause a connection timeout.
