Question: I have a new F2-DEVNETS-1 module, but the Think 'N' Do ConnectivityCenter (or IOView) displays an error upon connection. What is causing this error?
Answer: The F2-DEVNETS-1 is a newer model of the F2-DEVNETS module. In order for this module to be used in versions Live!v5.5 or before, or Studio v7.1 or before, you must put the module in the F2-DEVNETS compatibility mode (See appendix E in the F2-DEVNETS-1 manual).

Question: What causes a blinking run light on a D2-CM module?
Answer: The 'Run' light on the CM module will blink for only a couple of reasons
  1. The termination switches on the EM modules are not set correctly.
  2. The CM is being used with a PLC that does not support it such as the D2-230, D2-240, or D2-250.
  3. The wiring is incorrect or bad.
  4. One of the EM modules is bad or has lost it's firmware due to power quality issues.
  5. The CM module is bad or has lost it's firmware due to power quality issues.
  6. The Base is bad.

You cannot update the FW in the EM or CM modules
