What does it mean when the Status LED is flashing orange on Leuze BPS 8, and how do I fix it?
A flashing orange Status LED indicates that a service operation is active. You can reset the service operation using the BPS Configuration Tool.
What does it mean if the Status LED shows a continuous red light on Leuze BPS 8 Valve Positioners, and what should I do?
A continuous red light on the Status LED indicates an error, and no function is possible. This often means there is an internal device error, and the device should be sent in for repair.
Why am I getting sporadic errors on the RS 232/RS 485 interface of my Leuze BPS 8?
Sporadic errors on the RS 232/RS 485 interface can occur due to several reasons. Check the wiring, paying special attention to the wiring shield. Also, EMC effects or exceeding the overall network expansion could be the cause. Inspect the cable and check the maximum network expansion relative to the maximum cable lengths.
What does it mean if the Status LED is flashing red on Leuze BPS 8, and what should I do?
A flashing red Status LED indicates a warning. Query the diagnostic data and then take the necessary actions based on what you find.
What to do if the Status LED is off on Leuze BPS 8 Valve Positioners?
If the Status LED is off, this indicates that no supply voltage is connected to the device. Check the supply voltage.
What to do if I have position errors with Leuze Valve Positioners?
If you're experiencing position errors, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the barcode tape positioning to ensure it's present and correctly aligned. If the scanner is positioned in total reflection, adjust the scanning beam angle by tilting the BPS 8. Also, verify the scanner's mounting and clean the BPS 8 window.
Why is there no communication via RS 232/RS 485 with my Leuze BPS 8?
Lack of communication via RS 232/RS 485 could stem from several causes. Check the wiring to ensure it is correct. Also, verify that the baud rates and protocol settings are accurate.
