FAQ

1. Q: Can T8310 expander processor be used as main controller processor?
   A: No, it works in expander chassis to interface with controller chassis, not a main processor.
2. Q: What are typical expander processor failure symptoms?
   A: Expander chassis communication fault, I/O data loss, system fault alarm, module health LED red.
3. Q: How to complete commissioning and diagnosis?
   A: Install in expander chassis processor slot, power on, check module health, download configuration and test data exchange.
