At a Glance
The discrete I/O modules are equipped with a display block featuring LEDs that displays the module’s channels status the overall module status.
Illustration
The figure below shows the position of the channel status display LEDs as well as the 3 (or 4) module status LEDs, on the front panel of the discrete I/O modules.

Description
The following table explains how the LEDs located on the discrete I/O display block operate.
LEDs |
Continually Lit |
Flashing |
Off |
---|---|---|---|
RUN (green) |
module operating normally |
N/A |
module inoperative or off |
ERR (red) |
internal event: Module analysis needed |
Communication loss between the discrete module and the CPU |
no detected internal error |
I/O (red) |
external event: overload, short circuit, sensor/pre-actuator voltage error |
Terminal block incorrectly wired |
no detected external error |
+32 Green |
selection of channels 32 to 63 |
N/A |
selection of channels 0 to 31 |
Channel status |
channel at 1 |
channel error, overload, short circuit, or open wire detected(1) |
channel at 0 |
(1) When channel status is open wire detected, the flashing timing is the following:

Display Panels
When a voltage is present on an input or output, the corresponding LED is lit.
Display of internal or external events is only effective once the module has been configured. After powering-up or a cold start, all the LEDs flash twice (for 2 seconds) to show that the module is operational. When an event is detected, the channel status is recorded until the cause of the event is cleared.
There are several display blocks depending on the type of discrete I/O module.
