NXT GIOX - LED Definitions

NXT GIOX - LED Definitions

With GIOX Firmware 01.00.21, the LEDs have the following functions:

  • USER LED2 - reserved for future use
  • USER LED1 - reserved for future use
  • DIAG - lit if board is REV B or older.  Current is PCB REV C, marked on back upper left.
  • PWR FAULT - Current PCB REV C updates in realtime and usually matches RELAY POWER OFF (exception is EMERG SW active state), reports that EXT DC PWR missing when one or more relay boards found on power up.   REV B defines power fault differently that a relay board found on power up when RS485 power is present (older circuit cannot detect distinguish between EXT DC and EXT DC PWR + RS485 power).
  • TAMPER - realtime display of TAMPER SW lit=active
  • EMERG GW - realtime display of EMERG SW lit = active

  • RELAY POWER ON = Current PCB REV C this is a hardware circuit, EMERG SW is inactive, and extenal power present, previous REV this is a software/hardware circuit, EMERG SW is inactive, and internal power is not present.
  • RELAY POWER OFF = always opposite of RELAY POWER ON
  • PWR ON = power is present, either RS485 or EXT DC PWR connection
  • COMM DIR = blinks when communication response sent from GIOX to NXT Controller
  • Note that Relay boards have 12V and 5V power LEDs.  Input boards only have 5V power LEDs.
