LEDs

The 56AMXN module has three LEDs that indicate the state of the
network connection, the connection to the ControlLogix processor, and
the overall module health. These LEDs can be used in conjunction with
the 4-character scrolling display and the monitor program 56AmxnMon
to determine the cause of the problem.

NET LED – DCS/RIO Network Status

The NET LED indicates the status of the network connection. It is green
if the network status is good. If it is red, the following table shows
possible causes.

Operating
Mode

Meaning

DCS Slave

Red if no master is heard or Active or Monitored drops
go offline (1 sec)

DCS Master

Red if no Drops are found or if a Drop goes offline (1
sec)

RIO Master

Red if not all drops in configuration are active, or if
extra drops are found or any other configuration
mismatch exists

CLX LED – ControlBus Status

The CLX LED indicates the status of communication with the
ControlLogix processor.

Color Meaning

refused a connection from the backplane. Start
56AmxnMon and display the debug log to determine
the cause.
