If the cover of the controller is closed, you see 3 vertically arranged LED indicators, which signify various operating states or detected errors:

oPower

oWD (watchdog indicator)

oError (error display)

Power LED Indicator

The Power LED indicator indicates the state of the control voltage in the UPS status.

LED indicator status

Meaning

Off

The control voltage (24 Vdc) is absent or under-voltage.

On

Normal operation; control voltage in the normal range.

Flashes

UPS active.

Watchdog LED Indicator

The WD (watchdog) LED indicator of the watchdog hardware module is used to monitor the controller.

LED indicator status

Meaning

Off

Normal operation.

On

An unrecoverable error was detected or the controller is in initialization phase.

Press the reset button to reset and reboot the controller.

An unrecoverable error is a serious hardware or software issue that requires intervention.

When this error is detected, the following actions are performed:

oThe controller is stopped.

oThe optional modules are reset.

oThe digital and analog outputs are reset.

oThe wd (watchdog) relay output is opened.

Error LED Indicator

The Error LED indicator indicates detected errors. The table lists the possible display conditions and their accompanying error descriptions.

LED indicator status

Meaning

Off

Normal operation.

Flashes slowly (1.7 Hz)

Error of class 3 and 4 active.

Refer to the EcoStruxure Machine ExpertOnline Help\Diagnostics User Guide\System Diagnostic\Diagnostic Classes.

Flashes quickly (10 Hz)

Controller boot completed, last boot was not successful. See diagnostic message 209 last boot failed. Controller performed a minimal boot.

Flashes fast and slowly alternately

Firmware download via Sercos is active or controller is in initialization phase

On

An error was detected during the boot.

The Error LED indicator is flashing on after BIOS is started. Once the operating system, user configuration, user parameters, and the IEC program have been loaded and the IEC program has been started successfully, the Error LED indicator is switched off again. The boot procedure is now complete.

S3 (Sercos III) LED Indicator

The S3 LED indicator indicates the state and the phases of the Sercos communication.

LED indicator color / status

Meaning

Instructions/information for the user

Notes

Off

No Sercos communication

Orange

The device is in a communication phase CP0 up to and including CP3.

SERC3.State = 0..3

Green

Sercos communication in communication phase CP4 without error detected.

SERC3.State = 4

Red

Detected communication error.

Reset condition: DiagQuit

SERC3.State = 11
