Adept sMI6 LED Descriptions
Figure 2-1. Close-up of sMI6 LED Labels
The LEDs on the sMI6 are two-color devices - they can display either green or red.
Table 2-1. sMI6 LED Functions
LED Name Color Function Description
Fx (1-6) Solid Red Indicates a Fault condition exists on channel x
(1-6). Possible causes are Drive Fault,
Overtravel, quadrature error, or broken wire.
DEx (1-6) Solid Green Indicates a Drive Enable signal has been
asserted for channel x (1-6).
ES Solid Red Indicates an E-Stop signal has been asserted
from the sMI6.
HPE Solid Green Indicates the High Power Enable signal has
been asserted.
STATUS Solid Red Boot up or microprocessor problem (set by the
sMI6 hardware, other patterns are software
generated)
Slow Blinking Green Normal operation, high power OFF
Fast Blinking Green Normal operation, high power ON
Fast Blinking Red An error caused High Power to be disabled.
See V+ message for source of error.
Fast Blinking Red/Green Triggered by utility for identifying a node on
the 1394 network
Short blink red, long blink
red, off, then repeat
If this pattern appears at boot-up, it means the
SDRAM has failed and the unit must be
returned to Adept.

Note: early sMI6 Module LED labels
had DF instead of F for fault conditions,
and NET instead of STATUS. The
functionality is identical for both
versions.
