4.3. I/O Status LEDs
There are 16 output channel status indicators on the module front panel, one for each field output.
These indicators are controlled by the FPU. The FPU receives data from each of the module slices.
T
he FPU performs a 2-oo-3 vote on each data bit from the slices and sets the indicators accordingly.
The output status indicator mode is dependent upon the numerical state of the output channel. Each
output state can be defined to have a particular indicator mode: off, green, red, flashing green, or
flashing red.
The configurable indicator modes allow users to customise the output status indications to suit
individual application requirements. Without customisation, the default indicator modes are suitable for
line-monitored digital output devices as described below:
Indicator State Description
Off Output is Off.
Green Output is On.
Green – flashing No Load, output open circuit.
Red Field short circuit, output over current protection triggered and output
channel is latched off.
Red – flashing Channel fault, or no field supply voltage

Note: The LED’s indicating channel status may be configured to suit user requirements by
implementing the procedure for configuring the System.INI file detailed in PD-T8082.
