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

flashing

State of the EtherCAT State Machine: PREOP = function for mailbox communication and different standard-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

flickering

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

AS-i Diag

green

This LED lights up during the AS-i data exchange phase (it flickers in regular operation).

Set switch

green

This LED is on as long as both set inputs are short-circuited.

AS-i Power

green

This LED is on as long as the AS-i power supply is connected and at least one AS-i slave was found.

AS-i fault diagnostics

red

This LED flashes if the nominal and actual configuration do not match.
Possible causes:

  • AS-i ID code of one or several slaves does not match the currently projected values.
  • The AS-i I/O code of one or several slaves does not match the currently projected values.
  • The currently projected AS-i slave was not found.

Protected mode

green

This LED lights up as long as the two protected mode inputs are short-circuited.

AS-i installation

WARNING
Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!

Bring the Bus Terminals system into a safe, de-energized state before starting mounting, disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals.

Wiring of the AS interface

LEDs and connection 4:
Wiring diagram (example) for EL6201 AS-i master: connection to EL9520 (left), connection to AS-i power supply unit (right)

Since the user data are modulated on the power supply line with the AS-Interface, a special AS-i power supply unit (30.5 VDC) is required.
A further possibility is offered by the EL9520 AS-i potential supply terminal, which provides the supply direct from the EtherCAT Terminal network.
