The bus status display consists of multicolor LED graphics and a description text. The LED changes its color
depending on the bus status. For a detailed description of the bus status measurement, please refer to Sec-
tion 3.3.1 "Bus status". The following states can occur:
LED = gray: PROFview XL not connected to the power supply and/or to the PC
LED = yellow: Bus static (no level change detected on the bus during the measuring time of one
second); differential voltage between 0.8 and 1.4 V (terminated correctly), bus not running
LED = red: Bus static (no level change detected on the bus within the measuring time of one sec-
ond); differential voltage less than 0.8 V or greater than 1.4 V)
LED = green: Level change detected on the bus
