Troubleshooting: Measure terminal voltage, disconnect the load for testing, reinstall the module

Insufficient output current

Reason: Load exceeds 2A, group overload, module overheating, backplane power supply abnormality

Troubleshooting: Reduce load current, check group current, confirm heat dissipation and power supply

LED constantly on (output locked)

Reason: Internal module fault, bus data abnormality, overheating protection

Troubleshooting: Power off and restart, check bus communication, replace module
