Precautions for Correct Use
The EtherCAT Communication Unit can startup on less power than specified. If this happens, the
UNIT PWR LED Indicator may be OFF, whereas other LED Indicators may indicate correct
operation. In this situation however, correct operation of the whole SmartSlice I/O System is not
guaranteed.
Troubleshooting I/O Power
The I/O PWR LED Indicator shows whether or not sufficient power is supplied to the External I/O
Power lines to the SmartSlice I/O Units in order for them to drive the external Outputs on the
individual Units.I/O slices. A I/O PWR LED Indicator is provided on the following Units:
• GRT1-ECT EtherCAT Communication Unit
• GRT1-TBL Left Turnback Unit
• GRT1-PD2 I/O Power Supply Unit
The table below shows the LED Indicator options.
