LEDs

LED

Color

Meaning

RUN *)

green

These LEDs indicate the terminal's operating state:

off

State of the EtherCAT State Machine: INIT = initialization of the terminal or BOOTSTRAP = function for terminal firmware updates

flashing

State of the EtherCAT State Machine: PREOP = function for mailbox communication and different default settings set

Single flash

State of the EtherCAT State Machine: SAFEOP = verification of the Sync Manager channels and the distributed clocks.
Outputs remain in safe state

on

State of the EtherCAT State Machine: OP = normal operating state; mailbox and process data communication is possible

Error**)

red

off

No error

on

Error is present, corresponds to PDO Error

*) If several RUN LEDs are present, all of them have the same function.

**) For channel 1 and 2.

EL3072 - Connection, display and diagnostics 2:

Overcurrent protection of the 20 mA inputs

The current inputs are protected against damage due to overcurrent by an internal electronic overcurrent detection with self-resetting current path separation.

The overcurrent is caused by an occasionally excessive sensor voltage. Depending on the duration and level of the applied voltage, currents > 200 mA can also occur for a short time (tripping time: µs range) until the current path disconnection becomes effective.

Approx. 1 second after overcurrent detection and the resulting current path separation, the current path is closed again. If the excessive sensor voltage is still present, an overcurrent is detected again and the current path is opened. This process is repeated as long as the excessive voltage is present (auto-retry).

To ensure that the current path separation is not overloaded, the dielectric strength in the current measuring range must be observed (see Technical data).

Overcurrent is indicated in the process image as "Overrange".

After it occurs, the error condition must be eliminated immediately.
