LED Templates for Input Modules

The LED template defines the mapping between the input state and the front panel indicators for the specific module. Use the LED State Editor to map the required operation for all input channels. An LED mapping entry is made using the following syntax:
state# = <OFF | RED | GREEN [+FLASH]>
If no entries are made in this section, the module will operate with the default LED mapping. The following example displays the default values for the 8403 Digital Input Module, which are suitable for inputs without line monitoring devices installed.

TIP: State 7 represents a module fault. States 8 through 15 all represent channel fault states (except for the 8449 Valve Monitor module). For the 8449 module, states 8 through 15 are used differently since the valve outputs and position inputs are grouped in pairs.
LED templates define specific LED states. For example, if inputs are installed with line monitoring devices, the LED mapping entries can be made to flash red for the corresponding states that indicate a line fault condition, such as Open circuit, Indeterminate and Short circuit.
To configure the color and operating modes of the LED front panel indicators
  1. From the
    Template Creation
     dialog box, enter the template name, select an applicable
    Module Type
    , then select the
    LED Template Type
    , and then click
    Edit Template
    .
    sct_lse
    The
    LED State Editor
     displays.
  2. To modify the color and operating mode of the channel, click the required state LED icon, and then click one of these:
    • Off
    • Red
    • Green
    • Red Flash
    • Green Flash
      The modified channel LED of the input module displays.
  3. In the
    LED State Editor
    , configure the required input channel states, and then click
    OK
    .
