Light output of the LED's
The light output of the LED's is automatically adjusted to
the ambient light by the LIGHT SENSOR.
Status of the LED's
The LED INDICATORS on the front panel will show the
status of the controller:
POWER
Off: No power connected to the controller
On: Status OK. Power is connected to the
controller
BREAKER TRIP
Off: Status OK: All phases detected on output/
switch module. No errors.
On: No or missing phases detected on output/
switch module
Blink 1/5 Communication timeout detected by CPU
Blink 2/5 Communication timeout detected by
output/switch module (bit 14)
Blink 3/5 Communication CRC fault detected by
output/switch module (bit 15)
Blink 4/5 Estop validation fault
Blink 5/5 Estop equivalent fault

E-stop equivalent errors are caused by a delay in one of
the two E-stop circuits. Again pressing and after a few
second releasing the E-stop button is often solving the
problem.
Emergency Stop
The emergency stop (E-stop) button must be pressed in
any unwanted or unexpected situation. The E-stop affects
all linked controllers.
When the E-stop button is released the controller checks
all contactors for there expected status. If a contactor has
a different status then expected the E-stop circuit will
detect a fault and will not release the E-stop although the
button is back to its "safe" position. The operational LED
will blink accordingly.
