Off

PROFIBUS Slave is not configured

COM LED

The PROFIBUS slave does not use the COM LED, except when loading firmware. This LED is normally off.

Flashing Green – PROFIBUS Slave is not configured

Note: When loading firmware, the module is placed in the System Configuration mode. When in this mode, the COM and SYS LEDs flash red alternately.
