In the CANopen specification the GREEN part of the LED indicates the status of 
the CANopen network state machine. 
The MICROMASTER 420/430/440 will support the following mandatory states of 
the GREEN part of the LED as follows: 
Table 7-3  Status of the green LED display 
No.  GREEN part of LED State  Description 
1  Off  Executing a reset / 
Fatal error 
The device is executing a RESET 
Or (MICROMASTER specific) option module 
fatal error 
2  Single flash  Stopped  The device is in the STOPPED state 
3 Blinking  Pre-operational  The device is in the PRE-OPERATIONAL state 
4  On  Operational  The device is in the OPERATIONAL state 
 
Note that the above effects of the two colours in the LED are combined to give a 
total status. For example ‘CAN warning limit reached’ during the ‘pre-operational’ 
state would give a 200 ms flash of the RED LED every second interspersed with a 
2.5 Hz signal on the GREEN LED. 
NOTE 
Orange colour LED is not critical.
