LEDs

Overview

The CANopen Fieldbus Box has two groups of LEDs for the display of status. The upper group (fieldbus LEDs) indicates the status of the fieldbus.

The two I/O LEDs (I/O RUN, I/O ERR) are located under the fieldbus status LEDs. The purpose of these is to display the operating state of the local, decentralised I/Os, and the connection to them via IP-Link.

Beneath these there are two further green LEDs to display the supply voltage. The left hand LED (Us) indicates the presence of the 24 V supply for the Fieldbus Box. With some types of signal, this supply voltage is also used to feed the sensor elements (see I/O documentation). The right hand LED (Up) indicates the presence of the supply to the outputs.

Fieldbus LEDs

The upper two LEDs indicate the operating state of the CANopen communication. The CAN-ERR LED here provides an indication of the physical state of the bus as well as of protocol errors. The RUN LED indicates the CANopen status of the bus node.

The behaviour of the LEDs accords with CANopen recommendation DRP303-3 from CAN in Automation.

CAN-ERR blink code

CAN ERR	Meaning
off	CAN bus has no errors
Fast blinking (approx. 50ms on, approx. 50ms off; alternating with RUN LED)	Automatic baud rate detection has still not found a valid baud rate. Not enough telegrams on the bus yet.
1 x flash (approx. 200ms on, 1s off)	CAN warning limit exceeded. There are too many error frames on the bus. Please check the wiring (e.g. termination resistors, screens, conductor length, stubs). Other possible causes for exceeding the warning limit: there are no other participating devices in the network (occurs, for instance, when the first node is started).
2 x flashes (each approx. 200ms on, 200ms off, followed by a 1s pause)	The guarding or heartbeat monitor has asserted, because either guarding telegrams or heartbeat telegrams are no longer being received. Precondition for guarding monitoring: guard time and life time factors are > 0. Precondition for heartbeat monitoring: consumer heartbeat > 0). The Bus Coupler is pre-operational (PDOs switched off), and the outputs are in the error state.
3 x flashes (each approx. 200ms on, 200ms off, followed by a 1s pause)	A synchronisation error has occurred. No sync. telegrams have been received during the set monitoring time (object 0x1006 x 1.5). The bus node is pre-operational (PDOs switched off), and the outputs are in the error state.
4 x flashes (each approx. 200ms on, 200ms off, followed by a 1s pause)	Event timer error: The Bus Coupler has not received an RxPDO within the set event time (0x1400ff sub-index 5). The bus node is pre-operational (PDOs switched off), and the outputs are in the error state.

RUN blink code

RUN	Meaning
off	Firmware status < C0: The state of the bus node is STOPPED. No communication is possible with SDO or PDO.
Fast blinking (approx. 50ms on, approx. 50ms off; alternating with CAN ERR LED)	Automatic baud rate detection has still not found a valid baud rate. Not enough telegrams on the bus yet.
1 x flash (approx. 200ms on, 1s off)	The state of the bus node is STOPPED. No communication is possible with SDO or PDO.
Alternate flashing (approx. 200ms on, 200ms off)	The state of the bus node is PRE-OPERATIONAL. The node has not yet started.
on	The state of the bus node is OPERATIONAL.

I/O LEDs

Two LEDs, the I/O LEDs, indicate the operational state of the I/O and the connection to these via IP-Link. The green LED (I/O RUN) lights up in order to indicate fault-free operation. The red LED (I/O ERR) flashes with two different frequencies in order to indicate an error. The errors are displayed in the blink code in the following way:

1. Fast blinking: Start of the error code

2. First slow sequence: Error code

3. Second slow sequence: Error code argument or location of the error

Compact Box (without IP-Link connection):

The I/O LEDs indicate the state of the internal communication with the sensor circuit board.

LED green	LED red*		Description	Remedy
off	off		No local data exchange	Correct the CANopen communication error, and switch the Compact Box into the pre-operational or operational state.
off	1	0	EEPROM checksum error	Set manufacturer’s setting with the KS2000 software
on	off		Module is exchanging data	No error

* Red LED, left-hand column: error code; right-hand column: error code argument

Coupler Box (with IP-Link connection)

The I/O LEDs indicate the state of the IP-Link connection. IP-Link errors are most often the result of inappropriate handling of the optical fibre.

LED green	LED red*		Description	Remedy
off	off		No data exchange	Module in synchronous mode or - activate Profibus cyclic data
off	1	0	EEPROM checksum error	Set manufacturer’s setting with the KS2000 software
off	2		Reserve	-
off	3	n	Break location has been recognised	n^th module before the master's receiver
off	4	n	Too many faulty telegrams have been detected	The optical fibre wiring in front of the nth extension module should be checked
off	5	n	Register access to complex modules has failed	Check the nth module
off	11	n	Complex module working incorrectly	Exchange the n^th module
off	12	n	More than 120 modules in the ring	Connect fewer modules
off	13	n	n^th module unknown	Firmware update required
on	off		Module is in data exchange	No error

* Red LED, left-hand column: error code; right hand column: error code argument or location of error.

Extension box
LED green	LED red	Description
off	on	No data is being received over the IP-Link
off	blinks, flickers	Faulty IP-Link protocols are being received (very poor data connection)
blinks, flickers	blinks, flickers	Faulty IP-Link protocols are being received (poor data connection), does not necessarily lead to an error
blinks, flickers, on	off	IP-Link protocols are being received, no error
