SF
See Note 4
One or more soft fail conditions are present in the C300
Controller. This state is independent of both CEE state
and Redundancy state.
SOFTFAIL
Note 1: (####) – This symbol does not appear on the C300 Controller faceplate display. It
appears on Control Builder and operator (Station) displays representing the C300 Controller to
indicate that the C300 Controller is OFFNET and this data is not available at this time. Controller
will continue to display the existing or changing faceplate display indication per the current
controller state. As a result of communication failure, CDA will return OFFNET as C300 Module
State.
Note 2: The controller is ‘lonely’ (cables disconnected or network related problem). Startup halts
until controller can obtain an IP address or validate an internally retained IP address.
Note 3: When a non-redundant controller reboots into the FAIL state, it assumes the backup IP
Address.
Note 4: SF indicates an on-line diagnostic soft failure, such as Battery status, Hardware
Watchdog timer timeout, IOLINK failure, etc.
FTE activity LEDs
Each FTE port on the C300, Series C FIM and Ethernet Switch have one status LED. The
bi-color FTE A and B LEDs indicate connectivity (link present) and communication
activity (transmit and/or receive). Table 10 describes the indications of the FTE Status
LEDs.
