9. INITIATION AND TEST
9.1. Before Connecting the Supply
Before connecting the distribution voltage with the data logger, once again check the device as to its appropriate
installation and as to its correct voltage control. Please make absolutely sure that the data loggers have been connected
to ground as prescribed and the distribution voltage for all data loggers does not exceed the indicated 30 VDC.
9.2. After Connecting the Supply
After connecting the distribution voltage the data logger displays the current operating state on the two LEDs at the
front of the device (in case the LED display is not switched off). The meanings of the LEDs are given in table 9.1. on the
following page.
9.3. Configuration of the Data Logger
Before entering into operation the data logger has to be programmed and configured as to its specific application. In
most cases the programming has already been carried out on delivery (see status of RUN-LED and ERR-LED, table 9.1).
The configuration has to be carried out by the user by means of the
Configuration Software ICP 100 on a PC.
RUN
(green LED)
ERR
(red LED)
meaning
off
The distribution voltage has been selected too low or the power supply cannot
supply the required power.
off
flash
The data logger is in the monitor mode. A valid program has not yet been
loaded; the appliance is not yet operable.
on
There is a sensor error detected by the module. Possible causes may be: 1.
wrong configuration, 2. line break or short circuit, 3. measured value too large
or too small.
off
The data transmission between the data logger and the PC is active. There is
no error at the moment.
flash
flash
The data logger is in the download mode. Currently a program or a
configuration is transmitted to the module.
on
There is a sensor error detected by the module. Currently data transmission
between the module and the PC is active.
off
The
distribution
voltage has been connected orderly. There is no error. Data
transmission to the module via bus is not active.
on
flash
There is a communication error detected by the module (bus timeout).
Possible causes may be: 1. PC/SPS-program stopped, 2. bus line break.
on
There is a sensor error detected by the module. Possible causes may be: 1.
wrong configuration, 2. line break or short circuit, 3. measured value too large
or too small.
short off
X
A telegram has just been dispatched from the data logger via bus to a control
system or to a PC.
