first of all check the plc device and power supply and the error leds

then check the inputs and outputs terminals

check the devices including such as contactors and relays

then check the program steps

The Basics

Decide if the problem is internal to the processor or in the I/O system.

The first thing to check is the integrity of the PLC's power and ground. Check the DC supplies for AC ripple.

Measure the voltage of any batteries in the system.

Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Try to correlate the erratic behaviour with an external EMI or RFI event like a large motor starting, arc welding in the area, lightning strikes, or even the use of handheld radio transmitters. Handheld radios commonly used by maintenance personnel emit powerful RF radiation and can seriously disrupt the operation of unprotected electronic equipment.

Verify that the program is correct, verify the program with the backup, and reload the program if problems are encountered.

Keep the program backups up-to-date and safely away from temperature extremes, high humidity, and EMI and RFI exposure to ensure they will always be usable.

Troubleshooting inputs and outputs

Find out why the internal status of the PLC (what the PLC thinks is happening) does not agree with the external situation (what is actually happening). The first thing that must be done is to determine the relationship between physical I/O modules and the I/O instructions in the PLC program.

Determine if the power for the input in question is present, as faults in field wiring and devices can blow a fuse, trip a breaker, or cause some other power disruption.

well check the power supply

check the status leds

check the response for digital inputs on the modules

if all is ok go online see if something wrong with analogs maybe some major error

modules not responding maybe bad connection or defective

check outputs forcing and monitor program execution
