General Status Messages

The scrolling messages that are described in this table are typically indicated upon powerup, power down, and while the controller is running to show the status of the controller.
Controller General Status Messages
Message
Interpretation
No message is indicated
The controller is Off. Determine if the controller is powered and determine the state of the controller
Identity Mismatch—Contact Tech Support
If
a firmware update identifies the controller as not authentic, the hardware is permanently disabled.
TEST
The controller is conducting power-up tests.
CHRG
The embedded energy storage circuit is charging.
PASS
Power-up tests have been successfully completed.
Saving…Do Not Remove SD Card
The controller is about to save an image to the SD card.
SAVE
A project is being saved to the SD card. For more status information, you can also view the SD indicator. See SD Status Indicator. Allow the save to complete before:
  • Removing the SD card.
  • Disconnecting the power.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the SD card while the controller is saving to the SD card. Allow the save to complete without interruption. If you interrupt the save, data corruption or loss can occur.
LOAD
A project is being loaded from the SD card. For more status information, you can also view the SD indicator. See SD Status Indicator. Allow the load to complete before doing the following:
  • Removing the SD card.
  • Disconnecting the power.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the SD card while the controller is loading from the SD card. Allow the load to complete without interruption. If you interrupt the load, data corruption or loss can occur.
UPDT
A firmware update is being conducted from the SD card upon powerup. For more status information, you can also view the SD indicator. See SD Status Indicator. If you do not want the firmware to update upon powerup, change the Load Image property of the controller.
Rev
XX.xxx
The major and minor revision of the firmware of the controller.
Catalog number
The controller catalog number and series.
Link Down
The message appears when the Ethernet port does not have a connection. The message scrolls continuously during operation.
Link Disabled
The message appears when you have disabled the Ethernet port. The message scrolls continuously during operation.
Link <x> crossload-redund-en
The message appears when the controller is configured for front port synchronization and shows the relevant Ethernet ports (1 or 1/2). The message scrolls continuously during operation.
DHCP- 00:00:XX:XX:XX:XX
The message appears when the controller is set for DHCP but not configured on a network. The message shows the MAC address of the controller. The message scrolls continuously during operation if no IP address is set.
Ethernet Port Rate/Duplex State
The current port rate and duplex state when the Ethernet port has a connection. The message scrolls continuously during operation.
IP address
The IP address of the controller. Appears on powerup, then scrolls continuously during operation. If the IP address is not yet set, then the MAC address appears.
Duplicate IP - 00:00:XX:XX:XX:XX
The message appears when the controller detects a device on the network that has the same IP address as the controller Ethernet port. The message shows the MAC address of the device with the duplicate IP address. The message scrolls continuously during operation.
No Project
No project is loaded on the controller. To load a project, do one of the following:
  • Download a project to the controller
  • Use an SD card to load a project to the controller
Project Name
The name of the project that is loaded on the controller.
BUSY
The I/O modules that are associated with the controller are not yet fully powered. Allow time for powerup and I/O module self-testing.
Corrupt Certificate Received
The security certificate that is associated with the firmware is corrupted. Go to rok.auto/support and download the firmware revision you are trying to update to. Replace the firmware revision that you have previously installed with that posted on the Technical Support website.
Corrupt Image Received
The firmware file is corrupted. Go to rok.auto/support and download the firmware revision you are trying to update to. Replace the firmware revision that you have previously installed with that posted on the Technical Support website.
Backup Energy HW Failure - Save Project
A failure with the embedded storage circuit has occurred, and the controller is incapable of saving the program if a powerdown occurs. If you see this message, then save your program to the SD card before you remove power and then replace the controller.
Backup Energy Low - Save Project
The embedded storage circuit does not have sufficient energy to enable the controller to save the program if a powerdown occurs. If you see this message, then save your program to the SD card before you remove power, and then replace the controller.
Flash in Progress
A firmware update that is initiated via
ControlFLASH Plus®
,
ControlFLASH
or AutoFlash software is in progress. Allow the firmware update to complete without interruption.
Firmware Installation Required
The controller is using boot firmware (revision 1.
xxx
) and requires a firmware update.
SD Card Locked
An SD card that is locked is installed.
SD Card Unprotected
The controller SD card has been unprotected and is available for remote read/write operations.
Download in Progress
An active download is occurring
