Status LEDs

The Industrial PC has either three or seven status LEDs, depending on the device generation. The following
table shows how many LEDs exist in each generation:

Table 9: Device generation status LEDs

Generation

Number of status LEDs

C6925-0020

PWR, FB, HDD

C6925-0030

PWR, FB, HDD

C6925-0040

PWR, TC, IDE, FAN, USR, FB RUN, FB ERR

The LEDs provide information on the following aspects:

• the status of the power controller (PWR)

• the TwinCAT status (TC)

• the hard disk activity (IDE/HDD)

• the fan status (FAN)

• the user (USR)

• the fieldbus activity (FB RUN)

• the fieldbus status (FB, FB ERR)

The figure shows where the LEDs are located on the Industrial PC.
