Meaning of the LEDs and button LED EL9221-xxxx

LED

Color

Meaning

Button LED 1

Button LED 1 indicates the status of output 1

Green

off

Output 1 switched off

on

Output 1 switched on

flashing

Programming mode active:
Permissible nominal current value for output 1 can be read with flashing code (1x flashing = 1 A; 2x flashing = 2 A, etc.).

flickering

Switch-off process not yet completed,
wiring error: voltage detected at switched-off output ( with Ready LED green)

Orange

on

Output 1 switched on + prewarning threshold reached

Flash (after pressing)

Output 1 disabled (nominal current value is set to "OFF")

flashing

Reverse current active
or
Query mode or programming mode active (additionally orange Ready LED is on):
Nominal current value cannot be changed because disabled or fixed variant; set nominal current value for output 1 can be read with flashing code (1x flashing = 1 A; 2x flashing = 2 A; etc.)

Red

on

Output 1 triggered

flashing

Output 1 triggered and cooling phase active

Run LED

Run LED indicates the EtherCAT operating state of the terminal

Green

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 default settings set

Single flash

State of the EtherCAT State Machine: SAFEOP = verification of the Sync Manager channels and the distributed clocks.
The 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

Ready LED

Ready LED indicates the status for overcurrent protection / programming mode / query mode

Green

on

24 V DC supply voltage present and initialization completed, overcurrent protection active, operation mode active

Orange

on

Programming mode / query mode active

Red

on

Missing 24 V DC supply voltage or initialization error

flashing

Loading the factory settings

flickering

Wiring error or cable break (e.g. wrong ground reference)

EL9221-xxxx 2:

The EL9221-xxxx has an illuminated push-button!

The illuminated push-button allows operation of the overcurrent protection terminal such as switching on and off and resetting the output. It is also used for programming and querying the nominal current. There are 3 modes: operation mode, programming mode and query mode.
With the EL9221-xxxx, only push-button LED 1 has a function, since it is a 1-channel version.

Overview of the 3 operation modes:

Operation mode
The operation mode is active as soon as the overcurrent protection terminal is supplied with supply voltage, the initialization has been successfully completed and no other mode is active. This is effectively the normal mode of operation.

Programming mode
The programming mode is available for the adjustable overcurrent protection terminals. To enter this mode, press and hold the button in operation mode for more than 3 seconds.

Query mode
The query mode exists for the fixed overcurrent protection terminals, which are not adjustable. If programming is disabled for the adjustable overcurrent protection terminals, only the query mode is available. No changes can be made in query mode, i.e. it is only intended for querying the nominal current value. To enter this mode, press and hold the button in operation mode for more than 3 seconds.

For operation in the respective modes, please refer to the table LED buttons Operation / Programming.

Button LED Operation / Programming

LED

State

Meaning

Operation in operation mode

Button LED 1

Press briefly

Switching output 1 on and off or resetting it

Long press (>3s)

Activating the programming or query mode

Operation in programming mode

Button LED 1

Press briefly

Set nominal current value for output 1, press 1x = 1 A, press 2x = 2 A etc. up to press 10x = 10 A, press more than 11x = OFF

For variants up to 4 A, press more than 5x = OFF applies

Long press (>3s)

Saving the nominal current value and leaving the programming mode

No operation for 45 seconds

After 45 seconds, the programming mode is automatically exited without saving the settings.

Operation in query mode

Button LED 1

Press briefly

No function

Long press (>3s)

Exiting the query mode

No operation for 45 seconds

After 45 seconds, the settings query mode is automatically exited again

EL9221-xxxx 4:

Behavior of the outputs when the settings are changed

If settings are changed during operation (outputs are switched on), the outputs remain switched on. This has the advantage that the system can remain in operation and a change can be made "online".
