LED Status Display

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

  • The 4 system LEDs (PWR, S-ERR, FBP and I/O-Bus) show the operating status of the module and indicate possible errors.
  • The 19 process LEDs (UP, inputs, outputs, CH-ERR1 and CH-ERR2) 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 (supply voltage

24 V DC via FBP)

green Missing internal system voltage or field bus supply is missing Internal system voltage is OK
FBP FBP communication green Communication with the field bus plug does not work correctly Communication with the field bus plug is 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

Device is initializing

OR

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…C15

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-ERR1 Channel Error, error messages in groups (digital inputs/outputs combined into the groups 1 and 2) red No error Serious error within the corresponding group Error on one channel of the corresponding group (e.g. short-circuit at an output)
CH-ERR2 red
CH-ERR *) Module Error red No error or process supply voltage is missing Internal error
*) Both LEDs CH-ERR1 and CH-ERR2 light up together

The status of the LEDs concerning the FBP Interface Module in connection with the I/O expansion modules is described in detail in the S500 System Data S500 System Data.
