214 Chapter 4 Fault and Alarm Indicators

Overview
Indicators are lights on the front panel of each module that identify the state of each module.
Each module includes indicators that identify the general state of the module and other
indicators related to the function of the module.

The Trident controller can be repaired while operating. However, the

integrity of the controller can only be assured if the operator follows
repair procedures correctly. If in doubt about the procedures, the
operator should take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the safety of
the plant and personnel, and then contact Invensys for assistance in
implementing the repair procedures.

The types of indicators include:

• Status indicators which identify the processing state of the module. Each module
includes a Pass, Fault, and Active indicator.
• A lock indicator which identifies whether the module is unlocked.
• Mode indicators which identify the current operating state of the controller. (Only on
MP Modules.)
• Field power and power load indicators which identify whether a power problem has
occurred. (Only on some I/O modules.)
• Communication indicators which identify the type of communication occurring. (Only
on MPs and CMs.)
• Points indicators which identify whether the point is energized.
• Alarm indicators which identify alarm conditions for the controller. (Only on MP
Modules.)

Fault and Alarm Indicators

Fault indicators identify potentially serious problems with a module. Alarm conditions identify
abnormal field conditions such as loss of power and loss of communication.
If a fault or alarm indicator is on, you should consult the appropriate section of this chapter and
take appropriate action. This action may include replacing a faulty module or repairing a faulty
circuit or device.

Identifying Fault and Alarm Conditions

You can identify alarm and fault conditions in these ways:
• By examining the indicators on the front panel of each module and comparing the
indicators with the descriptions in this chapter
• By using the Enhanced Diagnostic Monitor
