No Load Condition

What does NoLoad mean?

This condition exists when an output is commanded ON but no load current is detected, or the load device is disconnected. It is a diagnostic for standard output modules and can trigger a general 'Fault' tag. The tag automatically resets to 0 when the condition is removed.

• Load device is disconnected or not present at the output point
• Break in the wiring between the module output and the load device
• Load device failure (e.g., burned out coil, open circuit)

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the load device connected to the output point is physically present and appears functional.

2. 2

   Measure the current draw at the output terminal when the output is commanded ON — expect current matching the load's rated value.

3. 3

   Check the continuity of the load circuit from the module output terminal through the load and back to the common connection.
