4-10 Troubleshooting Status Indicators
Troubleshooting for 
DeviceNet Drives
DeviceNet Module Status LED
Use the table below for troubleshooting the DeviceNet Module Status 
LED on your Ultra3000 (2098-DSD-xxx-DN, -xxxX-DN, -HVxxx-DN, or 
-HVxxxX-DN).
DeviceNet Network Status LED
Use the table below for troubleshooting the DeviceNet Network Status 
LED on your Ultra3000 (2098-DSD-xxx-DN, -xxxX-DN, -HVxxx-DN, or 
-HVxxxX-DN).
If the Module 
Status LED is:
Status is: Potential Cause is: Possible Resolution is:
Off Not powered No power  There is no power going to the device.
Steady-Green Operational Normal operation Normal operation - no action needed.
Flashing-Green
Device is in 
stand-by
Processing or waiting 
for input
Normal operation - no action needed.
Flashing-Red Recoverable fault Not operational Power cycle or reset the drive.
Steady-Red
Unrecoverable 
fault
Drive problem
1. Check drive for power-up error.
2. Replace drive.
Flashing-Red/ 
Green
Self testing Self-test in progress The device is in self test, wait.
If the Network 
Status LED is:
Status is: Potential Cause is: Possible Resolution is:
Off
• Not powered
• Not on-line
• No power going to 
the device
• Failed Duplicate 
MAC ID check 
1. Check the Module Status LED to verify that the drive is powered.
2. Check that one or more nodes are communicating on the network.
3. Check that at least one other node on the network is operational and the data 
rate is the same as the drive.
Flashing-green
• On-line
• Not connected
• Passed Duplicate 
MAC ID check
• No connection 
established
No action is needed. The LED is flashing to signify that there are no open 
communication connections between the drive and any other device. Any connection 
(I/O or explicit message) made to the drive over DeviceNet will cause the LED to stop 
flashing and remain Steady-ON for the duration of any open connection.
Steady-green
• On-line
• Connected
One or more 
connections 
established
No action needed. This condition is normal.
Flashing-red
• On-line
• Time-out
I/O connection timed 
out
1. Re-initiate I/O messaging by the master controller.
2. Reduce traffic or errors on the network so that messages can get through within 
the necessary time frame.
Steady-red Network Failure
• Failed Duplicate 
MAC ID check 
• Bus-off
1. Ensure that all nodes have unique addresses.
2. If all node addresses are unique, examine network for correct media installation.
3. Ensure that all nodes have the same Data Rate.
