br
iefly in each available color. The LED test is displayed simultaneously on all Flexi Loop
nodes.
Synchronization of the Flexi Loop nodes then gets underway. After this, the LEDs indi‐
cate the corresponding operational status (see "Status indicators", page 24).

Commissioning mode
In the commissioning mode, the node LEDs 1 to 32 indicate the status of all Flexi Loop
nodes connected to the right of the accessory.
The Flexi Loop DIAG accessory operates in commissioning mode if:
•
Pin 1 (VDC) was connected to pin 5 (DATA_IN) at connection FL_IN before switch‐
ing on the supply voltage.
The Flexi Loop MSTR accessory operates in commissioning mode if:
•
There is no safety controller connected.
•

MSTR1 or MSTR2 accessory.
Transparent mode of the Flexi Loop DIAG accessory
Once t
he safety controller has been connected or placed in operation, then the DIAG
Flexi Loop accessory operates in the transparent mode.
In the transparent mode the node LEDs 1 to 32 indicate the status of all Flexi Loop
nodes connected. This statement applies to nodes connected both the left and right of
the DIAG Flexi Loop accessory.
There is no restriction on the number of Flexi Loop DIAG accessories that can be used
