Modbus TCP
6.2 Diagnostics
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:

Meaning
IO
Missing or insufficient supply volt-
age at the I/O device.
I/O device on, no data exchange
The I/O device is exchanging data
with any connection.
MultiFieldbus project is present in
the I/O device, no data exchange
The I/O device exchanges data
without errors via a modbus TCP
connection
The I/O device exchanges data. An
error has occurred in the I/O device.
The I/O device does not exchange
data. An error has occurred in the
I/O device.
An existing connection to modbus
TCP was terminated by a timeout
An existing connection to Modbus
TCP was terminated by a timeout.
Errors in the configuration or pa-
rameter assignment.
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).
I/O device digital inputs DI 8x24VDC M12-L 8xM12 (6ES7141-6BG00-0BB0)
