Name Function State Meaning
Technology/optional objects under
license are, for example:
• Position (position axis)
• Cam (synchronous axes with
connected cam)
• Gear (synchronous axes with
gearing)
Sublicensing is therefore indicated
only when no technological events that
can be acknowledged are pending.
Flickering red (at the same
time as other LEDs)
A fault has occurred to which the user
