LED Status Indicators

This section defines the indications provided on the MVI94-DNP module through

LEDs.

4.1.1 PRT1

This LED indicates data transmit and receive activity on the configuration port.

When the TXD or RXD pin is active on the port, the LED will be illuminated

green. When the port is not active, the LED will be in the off state.

4.1.2 U1

This LED indicates backplane data transfer operation. When the module is

successfully writing data to the FLEX I/O backplane, the LED will be in the off

state. When the module is reading a new block of data from the FLEX I/O

backplane, the LED will be in the on state (amber). During normal operation of

the module, this LED should turn on and off at a very rapid rate. If the LED never

turns on, check your ladder logic to verify that the data transfer is set up

correctly.

4.1.3 U2

This LED indicates communication errors on the DNP application port. The LED

is off when no error exists on the port. If a communication error is recognized on

the port, the LED will be illuminated. If the LED is turned on, check for errors in

the command list to determine the error condition recognized by the module.

4.1.4 STS

This LED indicates the "health" of the module. When power is applied to the

module, the LED will be illuminated. If the LED is green, the program is working

correctly and the user configuration is being used. If the LED is red, the program

is halted. Try restarting the module by cycling power. This should cause the

module to return to its normal state.The module should return to its normal state.

4.1.5 PRT2

This LED indicates data transmit and receive activity on the DNP master/slave

port. When the TXD or RXD pin is active on the port, the LED will be illuminated

green. When the port is not active, the LED will be in the off state.
