4.12.2 LEDs state description - STATx
Standby, waiting for transmission of configuration parameters from a comput-
er. It is a default state after switching power on, before communication with
Mach3 program.
Readiness state. It means that the device works correctly there are no alarm
signals, such as E-Stop or LIMIT. CSMIO/IP-A waits for the commands from the
PC.
It means that one or more axes are currently on a manual motion mode (JOG).
It means that one or more axes are homing at the moment (HOMING).
Buffering motion trajectory data.
The controller is in a G31 command mode (tool measurement sensor touched,
Mode of an interpolated motion on a trajectory– CNC program or MDI command
performing. Also movement commands from the script level (macro) of Mach3
program cause this state.
Emergency stop. It means active state appears on an input line defined as the
E-Stop or E-Stop call from the Mach3 level.
Alarm state. It appears when controller work was stopped as a result of prob-
lems detection. This state can be caused by such situations like: FAULT signal
of servo drive, hardware limit switch signal, working area exceeded at SOFT-
LIMIT function switched on etc
Others. This state shows appears on case of other additional functions such as:
rigid tapping, etc.
Explanations:
LED light is off
LED lights continuously
LED light flashes
