2.12 Light Beacon
The Light Beacon is a device that displays system status and can warn the operator when fault conditions
exist. The beacon has red, yellow, green, and blue lights that can be solid or flashing. The beacon also has
an audible alarm. Table 2-3 provides possible reasons for each color indication.
Software and hardware share control of the beacon lights. Sometimes, hardware-driven displays override
those caused by software conditions and sometimes software-driven displays override. Safety critical
conditions always have priority. Flashing light software commands have priority over solid light
commands.
NOTE
Light beacon action can be custom configured using the beacon control feature. Refer
to the Fluidmove User Guide or Online Help for details.
