What are the various states of the LEDs on the 5136-MOD card while using PICS to communicate with a Modicon PLC?
The 5136-MOD card bracket contains one red and one green LED. The following is a list of events that must occur before PICS can communicate with your PLC. When everything is working properly • When you power up your computer, the green LED is off and the red LED is on. • Click on the Download button on the toolbar to download the simulation to the Solver. • Click on the Simulate button to start the simulation. • The green LED is on when the software module for the 5136-MOD card has been successfully downloaded and is responding correctly to commands from the driver. The red LED is off when the software module has been successfully downloaded. This should occur the first time you start simulation in PICS. • The green and red LEDs are on when the 5136-MOD card is transmitting to the PLC. The card only transmits while simulating one or more virtual drops. The red LED will appear dim when transmitting frequently or flash with infrequent transmissions. • The word Offline disappears from bes
