Important LED states
● If all the LEDs are flashing, the PLC must be reset (general reset) via the mode selector
switch (ramp-up with the switch in the "MRES" position).
● While the MCU is powering up, all LEDs briefly light up orange. You can carry out a detailed
diagnosis using a PG/PC and the operating software.
