1   Locking clip

2   Status LEDs

3   Sercos III address setting rotary switches

4   Sercos III Port 1 connector (RJ45)

5   Sercos III Port 2 connector (RJ45)

Status LEDs

The following LEDs are provided:

oState

oS3

oS3 P1 (Port 1)

oS3 P2 (Port 2)

The State LED is a green / red dual LED. The color green (status) is superimposed on the color red (detected error).

This table describes the State LEDs:

Color

State

Description

-

Off

No power applied.

Green

On

No error is detected, bus interface is initialized and ready for operation.

Green

Flashing

(12.5 Hz)

Initialization phase (booting of the I/O modules or setting up the I/O functional groups).

Green

Flashing

(4 Hz)

Minor error detected, such as missing I/O module (is reset when the correction is made).

Green

Flashing

(0.66 Hz)

New or changed configuration data (I/O modules or bus interface) have been received but not yet stored in the flash memory.

Red

Flashing

(8 Hz)

Major error detected (for example lack of resources, error detected in the firmware data flow).

NOTE: After applying power to the bus interface, the LED will flash red several times intermittently. These signals are not error indications.

This table describes the S3 LEDs:

State

Description

Instructions

-

Off

No power applied or there is no communication due to an interrupted or separated connection.

Sercos III boot-up or hot plug.

Green

On

Active Sercos III connection without an error detected in the CP4 (Communication Phase 4).

n.a.

Flashing

(4 Hz, 125 ms)

The device is in loopback mode. Loopback describes the situation in which the Sercos III telegrams have to be sent back on the same port on which they were received.

Possible causes:

oLine topology

oSercos III ring break

Close the ring.

Red

On

Sercos III diagnostic class 1 (DK1) error has been detected on port 1 and/or 2. Sercos III communication is no longer possible on the ports (for example due to encoder error detection).

Reset condition

oClear the device errors

oAcknowledge the error in the menu

oSwitch from CP2 to CP3 alternatively.

NOTE: Diagnostic messages pending in the system are not acknowledged by these actions.

Red / green

Flashing

(4 Hz, 125 ms)

Communication error detected.

Possible causes:

oImproper functioning of the telegram

oCRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error detected

Reset condition

oThe controller configuration displays the error

oAcknowledge the error.

oSwitch from CP2 to CP3 alternatively.

NOTE: Diagnostic messages pending in the system are not acknowledged by these actions.

Orange

On

The device is in a communication phase CP0 up to and including CP3 or HP0 (Hot Plug Phase) up to and including HP2. Sercos III telegrams are received.

Description

Off

Off

No cable connected.

Green

Flashing

Active Sercos III or Ethernet communication.

Green

On

Link, but no telegrams / communication (for example controller is booting).
