Front-LED / symptom	Likely cause	First corrective action
DC LED off – no LEDs lit	24 V supply absent or < 22 V	Measure voltage at the X20 terminal block; replace/retighten cabinet fuse and PE ground
Module-status LED quad-flash (red)	Controller has no valid IP address (0.0.0.0)	Verify IP / DHCP settings in the PLC or assign a fixed device address
Module-status LED double-flash (red)	Unacknowledged diagnostic alarm	Open the PROFINET master diagnostic list, clear alarm and reset the slave
Module-status LED “Blink 1” (green)	Boot phase – I/O modules are being initialised	Wait until initialisation finishes; if it loops, check X2X-bus wiring
Module-status LED “Blink 3” (green)	Configuration of I/O modules in progress	Confirm GSDML settings match the physical node order
Module-status LED “Blink 4” (green)	Bus-controller has detected a configurable error	Correct the fault in the PLC engineering tool while online
RUN LED off although master is RUN	PROFINET master not yet started or wrong device name	Check PLC is in RUN and the station-name exactly matches the configured one
CF LED red steady / flashing	CompactFlash missing, corrupt or write error	Reseat CF card, clone from backup image or replace card if errors persist
LINK/ACT LEDs dark, BF on master	Cable fault or switch port down	Replace Ethernet patch lead, verify 100 Mb full-duplex and shield continuity
Rising cabinet temperature > 60 °C → resets	CPU thermal derate	Improve ventilation, keep ambient ≤ 55 °C, leave ≥ 30 mm free space above module
