Unable to configure IMASI13 with IMMFP12
I have programmed IMMFP12 blocks FC215, FC216 for IMASI13. I configured only one channel for testing purpose (0-10V). the status of the channel shows good and the module is detecting by MFP. Even though MFP's status byte for LIO (lOcal input/output status) shows bad and status led is not stable.

Hi,
I couldn't determine from your post if the test channel actually worked. I.E. Do you get a good quality number from the FC216 that represents the analog input value?
The status bytes don't indicate anything out of the ordinary - Error Summary set, in execute and LIO error bit set.
Whilst normally the LIO error can be cleared by paying attention to unused channels, I really don't know what happens when only 1 out of 16 channels is configured on the ASI13 slave. You could try configuring the other 15 channels and see what happens.
Not sure what is meant by "the status led is not stable" and to which module this applies. For MFP the status LED should always be on solid in normal operation, only flashing in error or configure. For the ASI13, the green status LED should be on and solid during normal controller operation. If the green status LED is not on solid this potentially indicates an expander bus communications problem. The status LED will flash if the expander bus communications fails after being initially established. Is the expander bus configured correctly? Common problems include multiple masters on the same expander bus or a faulty module on the expander bus.
Cheers,
Alan
