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:

  • 64 ms ON

  • 64 ms OFF

  • 64 ms ON

  • 2000 ms OFF

NOTE: The +32 LED is only present on the 64-channel modules. It is enabled/disabled with a push-button located on the top of the module. By default, the first 32 channels are displayed.
NOTE: For a mixed input/output module, the first line of channel status LEDs represents the inputs (for example, for a mixed 16 input/16 output module, LEDs 0 to 15 represent the inputs and LEDs 16 to 31 represent the outputs).
NOTE: After the sensor power outage, the I/O (red) LED of the following modules switch on and the last recorded position of the sensor is displayed by the input channel status LED's:
  • BMX DDI 1602

  • BMX DDI 1603

  • BMX DDI 1604T

  • BMX DDI 3202K

  • BMX DDI 6402K

  • BMX DDM 16022

  • BMX DDM 3202K

  • BMX DDM 16025

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.
