• Ensure that the existing electrical separation is maintained throughout the entire

Voltage

When using ELAU Components in systems that do not have safe separation as a

protective measure against direct or indirect contact of dangerous voltages, all con‐

nections and contacts (e.g. PacDrive Controller, Sub-D connector, serial interface) that

do not meet protection class IP2X require a permanent cover. The cover or the device

connection of the connected device must be designed so that it can only be removed

by using a tool. The protective measures have to be adhered on all connected devices

Indicators, control elements, diagnosis

The PacDrive™ System supports the user with its comprehensive diagnostic sys‐

tem. 

The diagnostic messages can be read out with the Automation Toolkit EPAS-4 . The

PacDrive™ System contains a powerful message logger in which additional diagnostic

information is recorded. 

Diagnostic messages are usually displayed by a control panel on the machine. If an

"error" occurs, read the diagnostic message on this unit and then contact the machine

manufacturer.

Detailed information on diagnosis is available in the Online Help of the Automation

Toolkit EPAS-4.

3.1 Indicators on the PacDrive C200 Controller

If the cover of the PacDrive Controller is closed, you will see four vertically arranged

indicators, which signal different operating- or error conditions.

• pow (control voltage indicator)

• wd (watchdog indicator)

• err (error display)

• bus err (SERCOS real-time bus error indicator)

In addition to the LED displays, you will receive further information about the operating

status of the PacDrive Controller via the 2-line LCD display.

Line 1 currently used firmware version

Line 2 current IP number of the PacDrive Controller

The horizontal arranged buttons have no function on the PacDrive Controller currently.

pow (control voltage display)

The "pow" LED indicates the state of the control voltage.

OFF The control voltage (24 V DC) is not available or too low.

ON Normal operation; control voltage in normal range

Flashes UPS active

wd (watchdog indicator)

Watchdog is a hardware module to monitor the controller.

OFF Normal operation

ON Fatal error; reset required, reboot system

A "fatal error" is a serious hardware problem or an unexpected software problem.

When a "fatal error" occurs

• the CPU is stopped,

• the optional module is reset,

• the outputs are reset and

• the wd (watchdog) relay outputs are opened.

err (error display)

The error LED (err) indicates errors. The following table lists the possible display con‐

ditions and their accompanying error descriptions.

OFF Normal operation

Flashes slowly (1.7 Hz) Error of class 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 active

Flashes quickly (10 Hz) The boot of the PacDrive Controller is completed, the last boot failed.

See diagnostic message 209 "last boot failed". The PacDrive Controller

performed a minimal boot.

Flashes fast and slowly alter‐

nately

Firmware download via SERCOS is active

ON A serious error occurred during the current boot.

The err-LED is switched on following "Power on". Once the operating system, user

configuration, user parameters and the IEC program have been loaded and the IEC

program has been started successfully the err LED will switch off again. The boot

procedure is now complete.

bus err (SERCOS real-time bus error indicator)

OFF Normal operation

ON Bus error (problem with fiber-optic cable connection, e.g. transmitting

power is too low or too high, cable break, etc.)

Ethernet LEDs (data throughput indicator and network activity)

On the Ethernet connection (X10) of the PacDrive Controller two LED’s are indicated.

LED yellow: ON PacDrive Controller connected

LED yellow: flashing/flickering Current network traffic

LED yellow: OFF PacDrive Controller not connected

LED green: ON 100 MB connection

LED green: OFF 10 MB connection

After opening the operating cover you have access to the control elements of the Pac‐

Drive Controller:

• CompactFlashTM card slot

• Battery compartment

• [on / off] button

• [reset] button

3.2 CompactFlashTM card slot

The CompactFlash™ card slot is the entry for the permanent data memory (CF™ card)

of the PacDrive Controller.

▶ Switch off the PacDrive Controller.

▶ Hold the CF™ card with your thumb and forefinger and pull it out of the slot.

▶ To insert, carefully place the CF™ card on the guide rail and push it into the device.

▶ Push lightly until the card clicks in.

3.3 Battery compartment

battery

The battery of the PacDrive Controller buffers controller data (Bios, NVRAM, time,

etc.).

Maintenanceinterval

The battery should be replaced every 6 years. After this period of time the battery must

be replaced. If the device (with battery inserted) is not used for an extended period of

time, you should check/replace the battery.

Measurement This is how you measure the battery:

▶ Replace battery and continue with the manual measurement

or

▶ observe the diagnostic message "037 Battery down“ in the IEC program and dis‐
