I have a FP-TB-10 and the Power and Ready LEDs are blinking, but all other modules seem to work fine. The total power of the bank is only 4.5 watts. What's wrong?

I'm using an FP-1600 communication module. Other modules are, in order:
1 FP-DI-301
2 FP-TC-120
3 FP-DI-301
4 FP-DI-301
5 FP-DI-301
6 FP-DI-301
7 FP-DI-301
8 FP-DI-301
9 FP-TB-10 with an FP-AO-V5 in slot 1 and an FP-AI-V10 in slot 2.

All of the other power and ready LEDs work fine. All of the modules are found when using FieldPoint Explorer, except for the two dual-channel modules in the FP-TB-10. The FP-TB-10 shows up with all modules being "DISCR_IN". Do I have a bad FP-TB-10?

There may be several reasons for the problematic behavior of your FP-TB-10. Please contact National Instruments Automation Support by browsing to www.ni.com/support. From there you will be able to search NI's massive database of online resources or you may intiate a service request with which you will be given priority access to NI's Applications Engineers.

The reason was because one of the Dual Channel Modules was not seated properly in the FP-TB-10. Case closed! Woooo!

There are several reasons why this may occur. Please check to see that all Dual Channel modules are properly seated in the FP-TB-10. Additionally, firmware revision 320 or higher is recommended for FP-1600's, and firmware revision 28 or higher is recommended for serial network modules (FP-1000/1001).
