SEL-2711 Instruction Manual
The SEL-2711 will respond with the data for read requests, an echo of the message for control
requests, or with one of the following error codes:
Error Code
Description
1 - Illegal Function Code
A Modbus function code other than 3 was received
2 - Illegal Data Address
Some portion of the requested registers is undefined
3 - Illegal Data Value
Force single coil command had invalid operate indication
6 - Busy, Rejected Message
The SEL-2711 is unable to respond in a timely fashion;
the requesting device should try again
If a register that is unused is read, the data value -32768 (8000h) will be returned.

SAGE
The SEL-2711 has three LEDs which are visible from the rear of the host device, as shown in
Figure 3.1. There is a red LED associated with each connector (A and B) to indicate which cable
segment has a fault. If a red LED blinks momentarily, it indicates that a message error was
detected on that cable path. If it is not on, then there is a hard fault either in the cable or in the
connected device. The red LED for a port will also be off if it is not connected. The red LED will
be on steady if the port is functioning properly. See
Modbus Plus Network Planning and
Installation Guide
for more information on using redundant connections in a Modbus Plus
network.
The green LED indicates network status. The possible patterns are:
Six flashes per second
. The node’s normal operating state. The node is successfully receiving
and passing the token. All nodes on the network should be flashing this pattern.
One flash per second
. The node is off line after just being powered up, or after exiting the four
flashes per second mode. In this state, the node monitors the network and builds a table of active
nodes and token-holding nodes. It remains in this state for five seconds, then attempts to go to its
normal operating state.
Two flashes, then off for two seconds
. The node is hearing the token being passed among other
nodes, but is never receiving the token. Check the network for an open circuit or defective
termination.
Three flashes, then off for 1.7 seconds
. The node is not hearing any other nodes. It is
periodically claiming the token, but finding no other node to which to pass it. Check the network
for an open circuit or defective termination.
Four flashes, then off for 1.4 seconds
. The node has heard a valid message from another node
that is using the same address as this node. The node remains in this state as long as it continues to
hear the duplicate address. If the duplicate address is not heard for five seconds, the node then
changes to the pattern of one flash every second.
