Turn on the power and confirm the 7 segments LED (alarm indicator) on the front panel of the
Driver Unit for the condition of the System. If it is in the state shown in the Figure 11-1 below,
an alarm or warning is occurring.
◊ If the parameter LED (LED mode) is set other than LM0, the alarm indicator does not
report the occurrence of alarm or warning. (In such a case, it shows the state of the
settings of the control inputs and outputs.)
