XCR - Signalling LEDs

The drive provides information through 6 signalling LEDs:

  • EtherCAT 0 link: LED 6 green 
  • EtherCAT 1 link: LED 1 green
  • Driver Status: LED2 & LED3 (one bi-color).
  • EtherCAT Status: LED4 & LED5 (one bi-color).

Start-up Sequence

After power on the drive LEDs sequence is the next one:

Driver Status LEDs

Two LEDs indicate driver status. Note that both LEDs are grouped into a single red/green package.

Red

LED is on when an error event has occurred and the drive is trapped in the Fault state.

EtherCAT Status LEDs

Four LEDs provide information regarding communication status according to EtherCAT specification.

The EtherCAT green and red LEDs (shared with CANopen communication) indicate the EtherCAT status. The green LED is the RUN LED, and the red LED is the ERROR LED. Next table shows their states meaning:

The two green LEDs at the sides are the LINK 0 and LINK 1 LEDs. The LINK LEDs indicates the state of the EtherCAT physical link activity:

CANopen Status LEDs

One Bi-color LED (shared with EtherCAT communication) provides information about the CANopen communication status, according to CiA 303-3 recommendations. The green LED is the RUN LED, and the red LED is the ERROR LED.

ERROR LED indicates the status of the CAN physical layer and errors due to missed CAN messages (sync, guard or heartbeat). Next table the meaning of the ERROR LED states:

LED5 - ERROR LED  state

 Concept

Description

Off

No error

Device is in working condition.

Single flash

Warning limit reached

At least one of the error counters of the CAN controller has reached or exceeded the warning level (too many error frames).

Double flash

Error control event

A guard event (NMT-slave or NMT-master) or a heartbeat event (heartbeat consumer) has occurred.

Triple flash

Sync error

The sync message has not been received within the configured communication cycle period time out.

On

Bus off

The CAN controller is bus off.


RUN LED indicates the status of the CANopen network state machine. Next table shows the meaning of the RUN LED states:
