3.4 Mean
ing of the LED statuses of LED “RS485”
The LED RS485 shows a collective message. When switch S3 is set to 0, the
meanings are as follows:
Status
Meaning
off
No power supply to the HIPERDRIVE electronics.
flashes
red+green
alternately
(5 Hz)
Presence test
The hub is detecting the ports to which drive are connected
red on
Communication error for at least one of the drives marked as
“required”
red+green on
Drive error for at least one
of the drives marked as “required”
(communication to these drives is functioning correctly)
flashes green
(2 Hz)
All drives marked as “required” are functioning without
communication or drive errors.
At least one further drive exists, which is not marked as
“required”. No drive errors for any “non-required” drive.
flashes
red+green
simultaneously
(2 Hz)
All drives marked as “required” are functioning without
communication or drive errors.
At least one further drive exists, which is not marked as
“required”. At least one of the “non-required” drives has a drive
error.
green on
Only the drives marked as “required” are available and none of
these have a drive error.
When S3 is set to a value > 0, the LED RS485 shows the status of the drive selected
using the switch S3:
Status
Meaning
off
Not available and not required.
red on
Communication error
red+green on
Communication OK, but drive error
green on
Communication OK, no drive error
When the S3 switch is set to 0, it is therefore possible to view the communication
status with the drives and, if a problem arises, identify the specific drive causing the
problem by setting the S3 switch to the next corresponding position.
