3.2 Diagnostics with LED indicators
The DP/P-bus link has three LEDs to indicate the status of the module.
• The DP LED lights up to indicate DP communications.
• The PU LED lights up during normal operation, provided that the internal power supply for
the DP/P-bus link is not overloaded.
• The IM LED uses various flashing sequences to indicate different types of fault. Each IM
module fault has a separate priority, so that if several IM faults occur, only the one with the
highest priority is indicated.

During normal operation of the DP/P-bus link, the DP LED and PU LED remain on continuously.
The IM LED flashes rapidly. The flashing sequence slows down as the number of connected
DESIGO modules increases.
