Behavior of the LEDs RN/NS (RUN/network status), ER/MS (ERROR/module status) and MT/IO
(MAINT/IO status) on modbus TCP
The LEDs display the status with the highest priority if there are different LED states due to
overlaid events. (0 = off, 1 = green flashing, 2 = green, 3 = yellow, 4 = red flashing, 5 = red)
The following table shows the meaning of the RN/NS, ER/MS LEDs and MT/IO LEDs for Modbus
TCP:

Test of LEDs during startup: The three
LEDs light up simultaneously for
approximately 0.25 s in red. Then for
approximately 0.25 s in green.
Hardware or firmware defective.
The "Node flash test" is running (the
P1 LK and P2 LK LEDs are also
flashing).
