FieldPoint FP-3000 User Manual
The multicolored PROCESS LED is used to indicate the current state of
the processes being controlled by the FP-3000. When a PID function block
on the FP-3000 module is in initialization, the light flashes green. When all
the executing PID blocks on the FP-3000 are in Target mode, the light
remains lit solid green. Any active alarm of priority greater than eight
results in the light being lit red. For more information on PID blocks, refer
to the section
PID (Proportional–Integral–Derivative)
in Chapter 4,
.
Table 2-1 describes the NETWORK LED states.
The red STATUS LED is lit when the FP-3000 detects a failure. If
STATUS is not lit, the FP-3000 has not detected a failure. The FP-3000
indicates specific error conditions by flashing STATUS a specific number
of times. Table 2-2 describes the STATUS LED flashing sequences and the
corresponding error conditions.

Fieldbus port not receiving data.
Flashing green
Fieldbus port is currently the Link Active
Scheduler on the Fieldbus segment. The
FP-3000 module can control
communications on the Fieldbus.
Steady green
Fieldbus port is a basic device. The
FP-3000 cannot control communication
on the Fieldbus.
Flashing red and green
Fieldbus port is seeing traffic but is at a
default Fieldbus network address. You
need to assign a permanent network
