System Status Indicators
FAULT On The routine logic has caused an error.
The controller configuration is faulty.
The upload of a new operating system was not successful and the operating system is corrupted.
Flashing An error has occurred during a Flash ROM write cycle.
One or more I/O errors have occurred.
Off None of the above errors have been detected.
COMMunication On The programming terminal, with Administrator or Read/Write access, is communicating with the

Indicator State Description
24V DC On 24V DC operating voltage present.
Off No operating voltage.
RUN On This is the normal status of the controller.
A routine, which has been loaded into the controller, is executed.
The controller processes input and output signals, carries out communication and performs hardware
and software tests.
Flashing The controller is in Stop mode and is not executing a routine.
All system outputs are reset.
Stop mode can be triggered by setting the Emergency stop system variable to TRUE in the routine, or
by direct command from the programming software.
Off The controller is in Failure_Stop (see ERROR).
ERROR On A hardware error has been detected by the controller. The controller goes to Failure_Stop and the
execution of the routine is halted. Hardware errors are errors in the controller, errors in one or more of
the digital input and output modules, or errors in the counters.
A software error in the operating system has been detected by the controller.
The watchdog has reported an error due to exceeded cycle time.
All system outputs will be reset and the controller ceases all hardware and software tests. The
controller can only be restarted by a command from the programming software.
Off No errors are detected.
