LED behavior

The most important states of the terminal can be quickly diagnosed on the basis of the LEDs:

LED

Color

Meaning

RUN

green

This LED indicates the terminal's operating state:

off

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

Flashes at 2 Hz

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

Flashes at 1 Hz

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

Err

red

off

All configured bus devices are error-free (box state = 0); TwinCAT task or process is running.

Flashes at 1 Hz

At least one box state is not equal to 0 (e.g. device not found, wrong configuration, device in error state)

Flashes at 10 Hz

Configuration upload being carried out

on

CAN controller is BUS OFF. Physical CAN problem. Possible causes: e.g. missing termination resistor, bus line too long, wrong baud rate, node address assigned twice, wiring error, short-circuit.
Restart required
