LED Status Displays

The status of the CANopen® Communication Module is displayed by means of status LEDs. After power ON, the Communication Module initializes a self-test. If this test was successful, the yellow RDY LED goes ON. Otherwise the LED starts flashing and aborts the further initialization. If the RDY LED remains OFF, the Communication Module is defective.

In the course of initialization, the RUN LED is OFF for the first time. The LED is only activated after configuration data has been sent to the Communication Module and the operating mode of the Communication Module was set. If the operating system of the Communication Module detects a parameterization or a configuration error, the green RUN LED flashes non-cyclically. If this LED flashes cyclically, the Communication Module is ready for communication, but the communication is not active yet. In case of an active communication, the RUN LED lights continuously.

During the initialization procedure and also if the Communication Module is configured (anew) - in particular if the operating mode was changed - it can occur that all or some LEDs light up for a short period of time, before reaching a defined condition.

The green PWR LED indicates, that the supply voltage is present.

The following figure shows the positions of the LEDs. The table after that shows the LED statuses and their meanings.
