Ethernet Link LEDs L/A1 and L/A2 
The Ethernet Link LEDs L/A1 and L/A2 display the status of the physical connection on 
the Ethernet interfaces. L/A1 shows the status of the Ethernet interface 1, L/A2 the 
status of the Ethernet interface 2 (see Figure 7 on page 42). 
No operating voltage 
or 
No Ethernet connection 
Ethernet connection established 
Data transmission at 100 Mbit/s

5.4  Error transmission via PROFINET 
PROFINET provides diagnostics features that help you to locate a problem if the cause 
of the error is unclear or if there are availability problems. The following diagnostic 
features are available: 
  Error messages via parameter 65,001 
  Error messages via the alarm channel 
  Error codes in telegram part G1_XIST2 
NOTE 
  The function of the encoder corresponds to encoder profile version 4.1 for 
PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Accordingly the encoder must enter an error state in 
the event of a brief fault on the bus. Such brief faults can be triggered by 
electromagnetic interference, particularly by transient overvoltages. 
  An error state must be acknowledged by the control system, only then does the 
encoder output valid values in the telegram part G1_XIST2 on the bus. 
  This aspect must be taken into account in the implementation of the control 
system. 
After the error has been detected by the control system, it can be reset using bit 
15 of the sensor 1 control word (G1_STW). This is only possible if the cause of the 
error has been rectified and the status of the encoder is within the defined limits.
