STAT LED Blink Codes
The STAT LED on the top of the SNAP PAC S-series controller uses blink codes to indicate controller operation
and status conditions. The blink codes can be useful during normal operation and when troubleshooting.
•
When the STAT LED steadily glows green it indicates that one or more flowcharts are running.
•
When the STAT LED steadily glows orange, it means the controller is on, and either:
–
There isn't any strategy in the controller, or
–
The strategy in the controller is stopped, or
–
The strategy in the controller has run, and no flowcharts are currently running.
If your S-series PAC has a microSD card slot, the STAT LED:
•
Briefly blinks off once every five seconds when it checks to see if a card has been inserted into the card
slot.
•
Rapidly blinks when it is reading or writing to the card.
For more information on microSD, see
“Using the microSD Card Slot” on page 44
.
Different blink codes can occur in sequence. For example, two fast green blinks followed by three slow red
blinks show the firmware loading at startup followed by a firmware error.
If the STAT LED blinks green when the controller starts up,
it indicates the following:
If the STAT LED is blinking orange,
it indicates the following:
