    Connect the analog and/or serial/fieldbus communica- tion signals. Power the GPC-M module via a 24 Vdc power supply. Once the GPC-M is switched on, the LEDs start turning on and off to indicate CPU initialisation. The following sequence is seen: All 8 LEDs on steadily at the same time for approx.
