LED Indicators
There are seven LEDs on the DSM314 module that provide status indications. These LEDs
are described below.
STAT
Normally ON. FLASHES to provide an indication of operational errors. Flashes
slow (four times/second) for Status-Only errors. Flashes fast (eight
times/second) for errors that cause the servo to stop.
ON:
When the LED is steady ON, the DSM314 is functioning properly.
Normally, this LED should always be ON.
OFF:
When the LED is OFF, the DSM314 is not functioning. This is the result of a
hardware or software malfunction that will not allow the module to power
up.
Flashing:
When the LED is FLASHING, an error condition is being signaled.
Constant Rate, CFG LED ON:
The LED flashes slow (four times / second) for Status Only errors and fast
(eight times / second) for errors that cause the servo to stop. The Module
Error Present %I status bit will be ON. An error code (hex format) will be
placed in the Module Status Code %AI word or one of the Axis Error Code
%AI words.
Constant Rate, CFG LED Flashing:
If the STAT and CFG LEDs both flash together at a constant rate, the
DSM314 module is in boot mode waiting for a new firmware download. If
the STAT and CFG LEDs both flash alternately at a constant rate, the
DSM314 firmware has detected a software watchdog timeout due to a
hardware or software malfunction.
Irregular Rate, CFG LED OFF:
If this occurs immediately at power-up, then hardware or software
malfunction has been detected. The module will blink the STAT LED to
display two error numbers separated by a brief delay. The numbers are
determined by counting the blinks in both sequences. Record the
numbers and contact Emerson for information on correcting the problem.
OK
The OK LED indicates the current status of the DSM314 module.
ON:
When the LED is steady ON, the DSM314 is functioning properly.
Normally, this LED should always be ON.
OFF:
When the LED is OFF, the DSM314 is not functioning. This is the result of a
hardware or software malfunction that will not allow the module to power
up.
