There are three LED status indicators on the front of the module. They
are labeled:
FAULT
BUFFER FULL
CHANNEL ACTIVE
The location of these LED indicators and how you interpret them is
described in Figure 6.1.

Status Indicators
FAULT This red indicator illuminates when the module
detects an internal hardware fault. It is normally off.
BUFFER FULL This yellow indicator illuminates when the input buffer is
full. It must be reset by program logic using CW1(03).
CHANNEL ACTIVE This green indicator illuminates when an ASCII
device is turned on and is properly connected to the INTERFACE port.
The module examines only the received data line for channel active
indication. This indicator does not monitor communication between the
processor and the ASCII module.
NOTE:
In RS232C and current loop modules, disregard the CHANNEL
ACTIVE indicator when in simplex mode of transmission. The simplex
write mode disregards the status of the receive line, which is indicated by
the CHANNEL ACTIVE indicator.
