CPU LEDs


Do-more CPUs have two-color LEDs that are used to visually provide operational status to the user. Each of the LEDs can be either RED, GREEN, or YELLOW. The LEDs can be ON continuously or blinking This gives the CPU many options for color combinations and blink patterns that can indicate different operational modes, and fault conditions, and provide diagnostic information and communication status.

 

In addition to the individual definition of each LED, there are times when the CPUs will use combinations of LED ON / OFF state and colors to convey status information. The following combinations use some or all of the LEDs:

ERR LED (BRX-DM1x & H2-DM1x) or STAT LED (T1H-DM1x) is blinking RED for (15 seconds) Do-more Designer can blink the ERR or STAT led for 15 seconds to verify that a communication link is targeting the correct CPU.

All of the LEDs are ON and the color of each LED is YELLOW indicates the boot loader has started running.

All of the LEDs are ON and the color of each LED is GREEN indicates the operating system has started running.

All of the LEDs are cycling through RED & GREEN, in a circular 'chase' pattern indicates the operating system is initializing.

The left-most LEDs are cycling through RED & GREEN, in a 'bouncing ball' pattern indicates the CPU is running only the boot loader and is NOT going to load and run the operating system. The most likely cause is having DIP switch #1 in the ON position.

All of the LEDs are ON, and the color of each LED is RED indicates that am unrecoverable hardware error has occurred. The CPU must be power-cycled to clear the error.
