Table 4.4 Troubleshooting using NETWORK STATUS LED
Color State Possible Cause Corrective Action
None - 1. The E1 Plus PROFIBUS Module is not receiving power at
the PROFIBUS connector.
2. The module is off-line
Check power and PROFIBUS cable connections.
Green
Red
Off
Flashing (once) Normal operating state; The E1 Plus PROFIBUS Module is
performing internal initialization procedures.
No action required; the Network Status LED flashes
green-red-off during a normal power-up sequence.
Green Flashing (1Hz) Normal operating state; E1 Plus PROFIBUS Module is in idle
state.
No action required.
Green Solid Normal operating state; the E1 Plus PROFIBUS Module is
on-line.
No action required.
Red Flashing (1Hz) 1. Configuration fault
2. Parameter fault
Correct the configuration and restart the PROFIBUS master.
Red Solid A fatal error has occurred in the module. Cycle power to the unit and network. If the fault still exists,
replace unit.
Red Lit 1s then off Major internal fault Cycle power to the unit and network. If the fault still exists,
replace unit. If the problem persists, contact technical support.
