5.1.1 Scrolling LED Status Indicators
The scrolling LED display indicates the module’s operating status as follows:
Initialization Messages
Module is waiting for required module configuration data from
ladder logic to configure the Modbus ports
Waiting for Processor Connection
Module did not connect to processor during initialization
Sample ladder logic or AOI is not loaded on processor
Module is located in a different slot than the one
configured in the ladder logic/AOI
Processor is not in RUN or REM RUN mode
Indicates the last date when the module changed its IP
address. You can update the module date and time through
the module’s web page, or with the MVI56E Optional Add-On
Instruction.
Config P1/P2 <Modbus mode>
<Port type> <Baud> <Parity>
<Data bits> <Stop Bits> <RS
Interface> <ID (Slave)> <Cmds:
(Master)>
After power up and every reconfiguration, the module will
display the configuration of both ports. The information
consists of:
Modbus mode: RTU/ASCII
Port type: Master/Slave
Baud: 115200 / 57600 / 38400 / 19200 / 9600/ 4800 /
2400 / 1200 / 600 / 300
Parity: None / Even / Odd
Data bits: 7 / 8
Stop bits: 1 / 2
RS Interface: RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485
ID: Slave Modbus Address
Cmds: Configured Modbus Master Commands
Operation Messages
After the initialization step, the following message pattern will be repeated.
<Backplane Status> <IP Address> <Backplane Status> <Port Status>
OK: Module is communicating with processor
ERR: Module is unable to communicate with processor. For
this scenario, the <Port Status> message above is replaced
with "Processor faulted or is in program mode".
OK: Port is communicating without error
Master/Slave Communication Errors: port is having
communication errors. Refer to Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting (page 78) for further information about the
error.
