Hey all,
I have purchased a second hand FP-AI-110. I am trying to test the unit out by swapping it in place of another (active and working) FP-AI-110, but the new (to me) unit only blinks the READY Led when plugged in. This is on an FP-1600 'network'.
Any thoughts? Is there any special configuration that must be done to the module before use? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Hi IonH,
The modules are hot swappable and since you are swapping in the exact same model you shouldn't have to redo the configuration file. The blinking Ready LED indicates that there is an error condition so it could be that you have a bad module. To make sure it isn't a problem with the controller you can swap back in the original FP-AI-110 to ensure that it is still working, and if possible try the non working one on a different controller.
