GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Guide for the GE Series 90-30 PLC System.
The GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC System has the largest installed base of all GE PLC's, therefore we felt it was important to assist users with some troubleshooting procedures.
Our 33 years of expertise allows us to provide a concise process for identifying problems, as well as procedures which will help you recover from a factory-down situation.
There's an old saying - "If you don't know where you're going, then any road will take you there."
This guide will help you identify the PLC problems, and then systematically provide you with practical solutions.
-
STEP 1 - Inspect Power Supply Status
GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Troubleshooting
The very first step to understanding the GE Series 90-30 PLC status is to inspect the four LED's on the front of the power supply. When the green LED power LED is on, it indicates that all power in and out of the power supply appears to be functional.
If this LED is off, install a battery on the front of your CPU to maintain the program, and then simply replace the power supply.
Note: The Series 90-30 has 8 different power supply modules. See all the modules here.

STEP 2 - Inspect CPU Power-Up Status

Note: The Series 90-30 has 17 CPU modules. See all the modules here

The green 'RUN' LED indicates that the CPU is in run mode and is solving program logic properly. if this LED is green, your problem most likely lies with the failed devices such as I/O modules, and not the PLC system.

STEP 5 - CPU Out Of 'RUN' Mode
GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Troubleshooting
The most common failure of the GE Series 90-30 is the 'RUN' LED is off, which generally indicates that an incident has forced the CPU out of 'RUN' mode.
Connect your programming unit to the RS-485 Serial Port on the power supply, and then navigate to the fault tables in your programming software.
-
STEP 6 - View Fault Tables
GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Troubleshooting
There are two basic fault tables; I/O and CPU. There, you will find time and date stamp faults that have caused your system to exit 'RUN' mode.
In many cases, it will identify rack and slot positions of a failed module. Once you have fixed the issue creating the fault, clear the fault tables so that any additional faults will be logged at next power up. Continue this process until your Series 90-30 PLC System is back up and running.
