9. 1. Signalling LEDs
The VW3A3310d Ethernet card features 5 LEDs, which are visible through the Altivar 61 / 71 cover.
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4
1.5
2.1Port 1 activity
2.2Port 2 activity
2.3Link status
2.4NS “Network status”
2.5MS “Module status”
The first 2 LEDS are respectively dedicated to each Ethernet port.
The third LED is relative to the IP level.
The last 2 LEDs are specific to EtherNet/IP and CIP communication protocol.

2.3 | Off | Physical connections unplugged - No IP address obtained | |
| Flashing Green/red | Power up testing. | |
| Green ON | At least one port is connected and an IP address has been obtained. | |
| Green flashing 3 times | All ports are unplugged, but the card has an IP address. | |
| Green flashing 4 times | Error: Duplicated IP address (1) | |
| Green flashing 5 times | The card is performing a BOOTP or DHCP sequence | |
|
|
| |
2.4 | Off | The device does not have an IP address or powered off. | |
“NS” |
|
| |
Flashing Green/red | Power up testing. | ||
| |||
| Green ON | The device has at least one established Modbus connection (even to the Message Router). | |
| Green flashing | The device has not established Modbus connections, but has obtained an IP address. | |
|
|
| |
2.5 | Off | No power is supplied to the device | |
“MS” |
|
| |
Flashing Green/red | Power Up testing. | ||
| |||
| Green ON | The device is ready. | |
| Green flashing | The device is not ready (waiting for cable connection, ...). | |
| Red flashing | The device has detected a [Network fault] (CnF). | |
| Red ON | The device has detected a [internal com. link] (ILF) communication interruption. |
(1)The Ethernet card detects IP address duplication each time it connects to the network
If the card detects that another device is using the same IP address as itself, it abandons the use of the IP address and triggers the status: [External fault com.] (EPF2).
If a device with an IP address identical to that of the drive is connected to the network during operation, the condition will not be detected by the drive (it is the new station that has to disconnect).
