Stepper LED Indicators

The two LEDs above the Drive connector on the RMC’s Stepper interface card are axis status LEDs. These LEDs will reflect the operational status, as determined by the Status Word, of their corresponding axis according to the following table.

 

LED Action

Axis Status

Alternating Red/Green

One or more of the following status bits are on and are enabled in the Auto Stop:

Encoder Fault

Limit Switches

Home Input

Overdrive Error

Parameter Error

Compensation Timeout

Following Error

Continuous Green

Status good. The above is not true.

 

Note: Prior to RMC CPU firmware dated 19991216, the Auto Stop parameter was not used in determining the LED states. Therefore, the only way to keep the LED from showing red was to clear the error.
