MOD Indicator Flashing Green

Controller Connection Issue or Validator Not Complete

Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 Digital I/O Modules

What does MOD Indicator Flashing Green mean?

The Module Status Indicator (MOD) flashes green when there is no established connection between the module and its owner-controller. For Compact 5000 safety I/O modules, this can also mean the Validator has not completed an initial Time Coordination exchange.

Common Causes

  • Missing, incomplete, or incorrect module configuration in Studio 5000 Logix Designer.
  • Controller communication fault or the controller is not in Run mode.
  • For Compact 5000 safety I/O modules, the initial Time Coordination exchange with the controller's Validator has failed or is incomplete.
