8 Operation
This chapter describes how to handle and diagnose the controller during its operation.
8.1 Handling
The controller needs not be handled during its normal operation. Only if problems arise, an
intervention with the PADT may be required.
8.2 Diagnosis
A first, rough diagnosis can be performed via the light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The diagnostic
history that can be displayed using the PADT provides a more detailed analysis of the operating
or error state.
8.2.1 Light-Emitting Diode Indicators
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate the operating state of the controller. Function and
meaning of the LEDs depend on the processor system's operating system currently in use.
Refer to the corresponding device-specific manuals for details.
The function and meaning of the fieldbus LEDs are described in the communication manual.

8.2.2 Diagnostic History
The diagnostic history records the various states of the processor and communication system
and stores them in a non-volatile memory. Both systems include a short term and a long term
diagnosis. The number of entries differs for hardware and the operating system versions:
Number of entries in the long term
diagnosis
Number of entries in the short term
