Using the SIMATIC Manager, you can search for and identify the module initially by browsing 
the connected network with the menu "PLC" > "Edit Ethernet Node". If you select the found 
node in the “Browse Network" dialog, and then click "Flash", the "LINK" flashes. 
LED "APPL_STATE" for displaying the ERPC functions 
The "APPL_STATE" LED is a 3-color LED and can indicate the status of the ERPC 
application. The meaning of the LED states can be configured in the ILS Workbench. 
To make the display consistent with the other LEDs of the CP, we recommend that you 
assign the colors to the "APPL_STATE" so that they have the following general meaning: 
●  Green: OK 
●  Yellow: Warning 
●  Red: Error
