Front Panel Features
This section describes the features and functions of all front‑panel
components of the 6416dio Digital I/O Module.
Enter/Cancel Buttons
The pair of buttons marked E

and C

will be used to confirm
functions, edits, and mode changes or to exit a change request. The LED

The LED between the Enter and Cancel buttons will flash whenever the user
is required to press a button to continue an operation.
A-Net LED
The blue LED found within the A‑Net logo functions as the network activity
indicator. When a Pro64 module is powered up, its A‑Net LED will flash while

designated as Control Master. Once a module is enumerated and is part of
the network, the blue A‑Net LED will light solid. The LED will remain lit as
long as valid A‑Net network data is received.
The A‑Net LED will flash during a firmware change when the module
being updated is part of an active network. When a module is being bench
configured (it is not part of an active network), the A‑Net LED will be off
during the firmware update. (Check the Aviom website for current update
files.)
