Controller LEDs During system bootup, the red OK/SF and HPE/ES LEDs are lit and the red FW/HD LED blinks. After system bootup, the OK/SF LED should show green. If the HPE/ES LED shows red, the E-Stop circuit is open. During SD card reads and writes, the FW/HD LED pulses red. When a robot is connected on one of the SmartServo ports, the FW/HD LED shows green. SmartController EX User’s Guide, 11069-000 Rev.
