Any break in the fiber optical ring disables the SERCOS network and creates 
a warning in the ring LED.
Checking the LED Indicators
The card provides three bi-color LED indicators to show the state of the 
system. The LEDs are located on the mounting bracket of the 
1784-PM16SE card. The LED on the top, marked by OK, indicates the 
present health of the card. Just below the OK LED is the SERCOS Ring 
Status LED. This is marked with a ring icon and displays the status of the 
SERCOS network. Below the SERCOS Ring Status LED is the CP LED. 
The CP LED shows the communication phase.
The OK LED
During power up, the card completes an indicator test. The OK indicator is 
solid red at startup and then turns to flashing green if the card passes all of 
its self tests.
