A single output device has failed while the remainder of the PLC system is functioning normally. The indicator light on the output module indicates that a signal is sent to the output point where the device is connected. You would now:
A) trace the circuit back through the logic to locate the inputs.
B) use a programming terminal to call up the rung that controls the output to see if the output coil is on.
C) check the point where the output device's field wiring is connected to the output rack.
D) check the input modules for short-circuit conditions.
Output Module
A component in a control system that sends signals or power from the system to the external environment.
PLC System
A PLC system (Programmable Logic Controller) is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines.
Programming Terminal
A combination of keyboard and monitor used to insert, modify, and observe programs stored in a PLC.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Since the indicator light on the output module shows that a signal is being sent, the issue is likely not with the PLC's programming or internal logic but with the connection or the output device itself. Checking the point where the output device's field wiring connects to the output rack can help identify any disconnections or issues with the wiring.
