Status Leds; Option Card Operability Loop Back Test - Danfoss VLT 5000 Instruction Manual

Status LEDs

The Modbus RTU option card has two LEDs.
One LED is used as a status for Modbus RTU
communications and the other as a status
for VLT 6000 drive communications. Both
LEDs use the same communications
patterns. On power up, each LED state is
flashed on for 250 milliseconds (Red, Green,
Orange, Off). The VLT 6000 LED powers up
Option Card A loop back test to confirm Modbus RTU
option card operability can be performed. The
Operability
option card must be removed from the
Loop Back
adjustable frequency drive to gain access to
Test
the 9-input dip switch for baud rate and parity
and to rewire the option card connectors.
Ensure that power has been
removed from adjustable fre-
quency drive for a minimum of
14 minutes to allow voltage to
dissipate.
• Remove the option card in accordance
with the procedures described in the
installation section of this manual.
• Set the dip switch positions in accordance
with the table below.

After the normal status LED check at
power-up (see Status LEDs), the loop back
test sets both LEDs to orange for a successful
test or red if the test fails. The orange or red
indicator lasts around 10-15 seconds. The
LEDs will then flash red or green
communication indications.
