Powerlink interface of the weighing instrument can be done via hub switch or serial bus over two Powerlink
port.
1. Serial bus connection of instruments. You may connect instruments serial to your Powerlink bus via
two ports.
2. Star connection. If you connect the instrument to your PLC via hub switch, you can use P1 or P2 port
on the instrument. You may change the port, if there is any malfunction on port in usage.
The Powerlink interface is 100Mbit and half duplex.

There are 4 announcement LEDs on the instrument to indicate the interface status as seen below. The
meanings of these LED’s are;
STS Status LED
LED State
Description
Off
Module is off, initializing, or not active.
Green, fast flashing
a
NMT_CS_BASIC_ETHERNET
Basic Ethernet state: no POWERLINK traffic has been detected.
Green, single flash
NMT_CS_PRE_OPERATIONAL_1.
Only asynchronous data.
Green, double flash
NMT_CS_PRE_OPERATIONAL_2.
Asynchronous and synchronous data. No PDO data.
b
Green, triple flash
NMT_CS_READY_TO_OPERATE.
Ready to operate. Asynchronous and synchronous data. No PDO data.
b
Green
NMT_CS_OPERATIONAL.
Fully operational. Asynchronous and synchronous data. PDO data is sent
and received.
Green, slow flashing
c
NMT_CS_STOPPED
Module stopped (for controlled shutdown, for example). Asynchronous
and synchronous data. No PDO data.
b
Red
If the ERROR LED also is red, a fatal event was encountered.
a. On 50 ms, off 50 ms.
b. Any process data sent is declared not valid and received process data must be ignored in this state.
c. On 200 ms, off 200 ms.
Err Error LED
LED State
Description
Off
No error
Red
If the STATUS LED is not red, a non-fatal error has been detected.
If the STATUS LED is red, a fatal event was encountered.
