Greetings, I have been facing recurring issues with the IC695ALG626 + CEP cards in Rx3i. These cards often trigger a MODULE NOT OK signal and TB ABSENT indication, leading to frequent disconnections. The only solution we have found so far is to reboot the CEP and card. Is there a permanent fix for this issue? Thank you.
The Terminal Block Detection Module is designed to automatically verify the presence of a Terminal Block. This module features a TB LED that provides visual feedback on the status of the terminal block - turning green when present and red when absent. Any issues arising from the insertion or removal of the terminal block are seamlessly recorded in the CPU I/O Fault table. These faults, classified as Field Faults, specify if there was a "Loss of terminal block" or an "Addition of terminal block." In cases where a Terminal Block is missing during a configuration save, a "Loss of terminal block" fault is logged. Users can easily monitor the status of the terminal block by referencing Bit 2 of the Module Status Reference. This smart module not only ensures the integrity of the system but also provides detailed fault information for easy troubleshooting.
Hello, it appears that the issue we are facing is not just limited to the Terminal Block. We are encountering a blinking code 4, indicating a firmware failure that is preventing the CEP from communicating with the card. Has anyone looked into updating the firmware from version 2.13 to either 2.15 or 2.16? Let's discuss potential solutions for this issue.
You might want to check the firmware version of your IC695ALG626 cards and CEP. An outdated version could be causing the recurring issues. Additionally, it could be a physical connection issue, perhaps due to vibration or poor seating of the TB. Make sure the cards are correctly inserted, the backplane pins are clean, and the rack is not mechanically stressed. If none of these work, it may be worth reaching out to the manufacturer for technical support.
I've had a similar issue with IC695ALG626 + CEP cards in the past. One thing that worked for me was updating the firmware of both the system and the cards to the latest version. In some cases, older firmware versions may have bugs that cause such issues. If your system and cards are already updated, try checking the cables and connections. Sometimes corroded or loose connections can cause MODULE NOT OK and TB ABSENT indications. If none of these work, it could be a hardware issue and consulting a service engineer may be the next best step.

Answer: Common causes of these issues can include loose connections, faulty wiring, or hardware malfunctions within the cards themselves. It is important to check these aspects when troubleshooting connectivity problems.
Answer: Rebooting the CEP and card can sometimes help reset any temporary glitches or errors that may be causing the connectivity issues. However, if the problem is recurring, a more permanent solution may be required.
Answer: While rebooting may provide a temporary fix, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer or a technical support team to address the root cause of the issue. They may be able to provide firmware updates, replacement parts, or other solutions to resolve the problem permanently.
