Status LEDs

The LEDs are on the front panels of the modules. There are two different groups:

  • The 4 system LEDs (PWR, S-ERR, CS31 and I/O-Bus) show the operating status of the module and indicate possible errors.
  • The 28 process LEDs (UP, inputs, outputs, CH-ERR2 to CH-ERR4) display the supply voltage and signal statuses of the inputs and outputs and indicate possible errors.

All of the S500 modules have LEDs to display operating statuses and errors.

LED Status Color LED = OFF LED = ON LED flashes
PWR System voltage Green Missing internal system voltage or field bus supply is missing Internal system voltage is OK
CS31 CS31 communication Green No communication at the CS31 bus module Communication at the CS31 bus OK Diagnosis mode
S-ERR Sum Error Red No error or system voltage is missing Internal error (storing can be parameterized)
I/O-Bus Communication via the I/O bus Green No expansion modules connected or data error Expansion modules connected Error I/O bus
Reserved Not defined - - - -
I0…I7 Digital inputs Yellow Input = OFF Input = ON (the input voltage is even displayed if the supply voltage is OFF) -
C8…C23 Digital inputs/outputs Yellow Input/output = OFF Input/output = ON (the input voltage is even displayed if the supply voltage is OFF) -
UP Process supply voltage and initialization Green Process voltage is missing Process voltage OK
CH-ERR2 Channel Error, error messages in groups (digital inputs/outputs combined into the groups 2 to 4) Red No error Severe error within the corresponding group Error on one channel of the corresponding group (e.g. short-circuit at an output)
CH-ERR3 Red
CH-ERR4 Red
CH-ERR *) Module Error Red No error or process voltage is missing Internal error
*) All LEDs CH-ERR2 to CH-ERR4 light up together

The status of the LEDs concerning the CS31 bus module in connection with the I/O expansion modules is described in detail in the S500 system data.
