Ethernet Communication
Ethernet communication is currently only available on the E versions of applicable
Roboteq product. There is a connection port on the top of the unit for easy and rapid
access. While the TCP and Modbus TCP protocols are supported, Serial is the preferred
method to access all native commands.
Status LED Flashing Patterns
After the controller is powered on, the Power LED will tun on, indicating that the controller
is On. The Status LED will be flashing at a two second interval. The flashing pattern and
colour provides operating or exception status information.

Additional status information may be obtained by monitoring the controller with the PC
utility.
Battery Backed Clock and Variables
The battery backed clock and variables feature allows accurate time/date stamping of
information such as status and error reports. It is important to note that the only Roboteq
products that include this feature are ones that specifically say that battery backed clock
is a product feature. If your Roboteq product has displayed time/date information but
the product does not specifically list the battery backed clock as a feature, then the
information displayed is random and not accurate.
The location of the battery is dependent on the product. However, any Roboteq product
with this feature will run it on a 3V, 12.5mm coin style battery. The clock is accessible via
the ^BEE commands and user input variables will remain even if the unit is powered off.
Please Note: Customers will be required to install the battery for the clock (type BR-1225),
themselves. Units do not ship with the battery for the Battery Backed Clock, installed.
