Question

What do the lights on the back of the housing on my Optimate panels indicate?

Answer

The green light indicates the module is transmitting data and the red light indicates the module is receiving a response from the PLC. When the module is in the configuration mode (setting of dip switch is 31) neither light will be lit except during the actual download. If the dip switch is set to any setting other than 31 and the green light does not light after a power cycle, the module was configured for a multi-panel situation. Otherwise the transmit light will flash (this is assuming the module is not connected to a PLC at this time).
