Indicators

All modules are equipped with 3 LED indicators.

In some models, these indicators are not led to the outside of the housing and are thus only visible when the module is opened.

The green LED (POW LED) indicates the motor voltage status. If the LED is not on or only flickers faintly, check the motor supply voltage (24 -48 V DC). The two other LEDs (green and red) indicate the status of the logical circuits:

LED1 (green) LED2 (red) Interpretation
continuously on continuously on Module is in flash mode or no bus system active.
continuously on flashing New firmware is programming
briefly on, then off briefly on, then off Module booted.
on off Module is ready for operation and bus system is active.
flickering off Data is being exchanged.
off off No logic control voltage. If both LEDs were briefly on (booting phase), the connected bus system could not be initialized. Check bus cable. Is the master active?
off on / flashing An error occurred in the module.
off / on on / off Profibus is active, but not yet in "Data Exchange" mode, or automatic interface detection running.
flickering flashing / flickering Data is exchanged on the "main interface", while the diagnostic interface is active, so that data is also exchanged through this interface.
fast off / on fast on / off Firmware status undefined (should never occur).
