FC1121 - LED displays

RUN LED

LED

Color

Meaning

Run

green

This LED indicates the card's operating state:

off

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

Error LED

The ERR LED indicates local errors and application errors. It is either connected to the application controller or to the ESC (optional ESC feature). If it is connected to the ESC, some errors are automatically indicated by the ESC, other error states are detected by the application controller and indicated by writing to the ERR LED override register 0x0139.

The following ERR LED states can be automatically generated by an ESC, without interaction of an application controller. The support of individual error states is ESC specific.

Description

Examples

off

no error

 

flickering (fast)

SII EEPROM loading error

no SII EEPROM device, SII CRC error

blinking (slow)

invalid hardware configuration

ESC pin sharing violation

single flash

AL status register error indication bit 0x0130[4] is set while device emulation is disabled.

local application controller sets error indication bit

NOTE:
E.g.: If the μController makes a state change with error indication bit 0x0130[4] set after a process data watchdog timeout, it has to manually set the ERR LED to Double Flash again. Otherwise the ESC would generate a single flash due to the error indication bit automatically.

double flash

Process data watchdog timeout (edge detected) while device is OPERATIONAL

master is disconnected/not sending process data any more

om

PDI watchdog timeout (edge detected) or build-in self-test error

local application controller failure or self-test failure
