Diagnostic LEDs

A BX Controller has two groups of LEDs for status display:

Diagnostic LEDs 1:
Diagnostic LEDs for the fieldbus, the PLC, the K-bus and the power supply units

POWER LEDs for diagnostics of power supply

Power LEDs

Meaning

Left LED off

BX Controller has no power supply

Right LED off

Power contacts has no power supply

DIAG LEDs

The DIAG LEDs are sub-divided as follows:
- Bus: fieldbus diagnostics
- PLC: PLC diagnostics
- I/O: K-bus diagnostics

The LEDs can be off, green, orange or red.

Diagnostic LEDs 2:
Diagnostic LEDs for the fieldbus, the PLC and the K-bus

After switching on, the BX Controller immediately checks the connected configuration. The I/O LED goes out if the start-up was successful. A red I/O LED indicates a Bus Terminal error. The error type is shown in the display. This permits rapid rectification of the error.

LEDs for fieldbus diagnostics

LED Bus

Meaning

off

no fieldbus connected

red illuminated

no fieldbus connected, DeviceNet 24 V missing, DeviceNet communication error - wrong baud rate, incorrect termination

flashes red

communication error, IO timeout - communication to DeviceNet master interrupted

flashes orange

Baud rate search active, no baud rate found

flashing green

communication with master not yet established

green illuminated

DeviceNet communication active

LED for PLC diagnostics

LED PLC

Meaning

off

PLC in stop or no program available

flashes red

The set task time is sometimes exceeded (see also Chapter Deactivating the LED for cycle time exceeding).

red illuminated

The set task time is always exceeded.

orange illuminated

PLC runs without boot project (only lights up during the cycle),
when the boot project is generated, the LED flashes orange

green illuminated

Boot project - PLC is running (only lights up during cycle)

LED for K-bus diagnostics

LED I/O

Meaning

off

No data are exchanged via the K-bus

red illuminated

error flashing - error type - display

orange illuminated

Register or KS2000 online access

green illuminated

K-bus OK and running

Error code for K-bus diagnostics

Error code

Error code argument

Description

Remedy

0

-

EMC problems

  • Check power supply for undervoltage or overvoltage peaks
  • Implement EMC measures
  • If a K-bus error is present, it can be localized by a restart of the coupler (by switching it off and then on again)

1

0

EEPROM checksum error

Enter factory settings with the KS2000 configuration software

1

Code buffer overflow

Insert fewer Bus Terminals. The programmed configuration has too many entries in the table

2

Unknown data type

Software update required for the BX Controller

2

reserved

3

0

K-bus command error

  • No Bus Terminal inserted
  • One of the Bus Terminals is defective; halve the number of Bus Terminals attached and check whether the error is still present with the remaining Bus Terminals. Repeat until the defective Bus Terminal is located.

4

0

K-bus data error, break behind the BX Controller

Check whether the n+1 Bus Terminal is correctly connected; replace if necessary.

n

Break behind Bus Terminal n

Check whether the KL9010 Bus End Terminal is connected

5

n

K-bus error in register communication with Bus Terminal n

Exchange the nth Bus Terminal

6

0

Error at initialization

Replace BX Controller

1

Internal data error

Perform a hardware reset on the BX Controller (switch off and on again)

2

DIP switch changed after a software reset

Perform a hardware reset on the BX Controller (switch off and on again)

7

0

Note: cycle time was exceeded

Warning: the set cycle time was exceeded. This indication (flashing LEDs) can only be cleared by booting the BX Controller again.
Remedy: increase the cycle time

9

0

Checksum error in Flash program

Transmit program to the BX again

1

Incorrect or faulty library implemented

Remove the faulty library

10

n

Bus Terminal n is not consistent with the configuration that existed when the boot project was created

Check the nth Bus Terminal. The boot project must be deleted if the insertion of an nth Bus Terminal is intentional.

14

n

nth Bus Terminal has the wrong format

Start the BX Controller again, and if the error occurs again then exchange the Bus Terminal.

15

n

Number of Bus Terminals is no longer correct

Start the BX Controller again. If the error occurs again, restore the manufacturers setting using the KS2000 configuration software

16

n

Length of the K-bus data is no longer correct

Start the BX Controller again. If the error occurs again, restore the manufacturers setting using the KS2000 configuration software
