Hints for problem solving
In case of an error or malfunction during operation of your PC card cifX,
observe the following troubleshooting instructions:
General
Ø
Check that the requirements for operation of the PC card are met
according to the information provided in this user manual.
SYS and COM status LEDs
You can troubleshoot the system by checking the behavior of the LEDs.
·
The SYS LED (yellow/green) on the device indicates the general device
status and can be switched on, off or blinks.
·
The LEDs COM0 (red/green) and COM1 (red/green) at the detached
network interface Ethernet indicate the status of the device
communication and may be switched on or off permanently or in
phases, flash or they blink cyclically or acyclically.
If the SYS LED lights static green and the COM0 LED lights static green or
"off" (or the COM LEDs behave as shown in the table below), the PC card
cifX is in the "in operation" state. The salve device is in the state of cyclic
communication with the connected master device. The communication
between the master device and the salve device runs without interference.

Ethernet LEDs
Ø
Check the status of the Ethernet LEDs (LINK or L/A) to see if there is a
connection to the Ethernet.
Cable
Ø
Check that the pin assignment of the cable used to connect the PC card
(Slave) to the Master device is correct.
Detailed descriptions of the behavior of the LEDs can be found in
the chapter on LEDs in this manual. Information about the device
diagnostics and its functions can be found in the user manual of the
configuration software for your device.
