Operating instructions

Using the Reset Button

Pressing the Reset button resets the controller in the same manner as

cycling power.

Understanding LED Indications

Figure 8. CompactRIO Controller LEDs

POWER LED

The POWER LED is lit while the controller is powered on. This LED

indicates that the power supply connected to the controller is adequate,

and that the controller is supplying power to the CompactRIO system.

This LED is a bi-color LED. When the controller is powered from V1,

the POWER LED is lit green. When the controller is powered from V2,

the POWER LED is lit yellow.

FPGA LED

You can use the FPGA LED to help debug your application or easily

retrieve application status. Use the LabVIEW FPGA Module to define the

FPGA LED to meet the needs of your application. Refer to the LabVIEW

Help for information about programming this LED.

STATUS LED

The STATUS LED is off during normal operation. The controller indicates

specific error conditions by flashing the STATUS LED a certain number of

times every few seconds, as shown in Table 2.
