LED Display
The MP940 runs a series of tests during start-up. If an error is detected, the ERR LED
flashes, and the content of the error corresponds to the number of flashes.
MotionSuite™ software tools cannot communicate with the controller while an error
LED is flashing or memory initialization is occurring. The MP940 LEDs are shown in
the following table.
