ATTENTION: DC bus capacitors may retain hazardous voltages after input
power has been removed. Before working on the drive, measure the DC bus
voltage to verify it has reached a safe level or wait the full time interval
listed on the drive warning label. When the DC bus voltage is above 50V DC,
the charge LED light on the drive must be on. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Do not attempt to defeat or override the drive fault circuits. You must
determine the cause of a fault and correct it before you attempt to operate
the system. If you do not correct a drive or system malfunction, it could
result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment as a result of
uncontrolled machine system operation.
Test equipment (such as an oscilloscope or chart recorder) must be properly
grounded. Failure to include an earth ground connection could result in a
potentially fatal voltage on the oscilloscope chassis.
Table 141 - MOD LED Status Indicators
Operation Mode LED Color Status Description
I/O
Steady off No power If no power is supplied to the device, the module status indicator shall be steady off.
Steady green Device operational
If the device is operating correctly (IO connection is established successfully), the module status
indicator shall be steady green.
Flashing green Standby If the device has not been configured, the module status indicator shall be flashing green.
Flashing red
Major recoverable fault or
Minor recoverable fault
If the device has detected a major or minor recoverable fault, the module status indicator shall be
flashing red.
IMPORTANT: An incorrect or inconsistent configuration could be considered a major recoverable
fault.
Steady red Major unrecoverable fault
If the device has detected a major unrecoverable fault, the module status indicator shall be steady
red.
Flashing green/red Self-test
While the device is performing its power up testing, the module status indicator shall be flashing
green/red.
