CRX LED Light Control

In this video, we will go over how to take full control of the CRX robot’s LED status light using the CRX LED Control option. The CRX series comes with a built-in LED indicator on its J1 axis that communicates operating modes and system conditions through different colors. While the default behaviors are helpful, many applications benefit from custom lighting states that match specific workflows, safety practices, and user preferences. This walkthrough gives us an opportunity to explore how to adjust these LEDs in a way that supports real-world production and teaching scenarios.

Before we begin, we will review the basic LED color meanings so we have a clear starting point. We then move into the requirements needed before enabling LED Control. After that, we will navigate the menus step by step to activate the feature and assign triggers. Once the setup is complete, we will demonstrate how to control the LED colors using digital outputs so that we can create tailored lighting behaviors for tasks like manual guided teaching.

This video is designed to give you a practical overview without diving too deeply into system logic or advanced programming so you can watch with confidence whether you are new to CRX robots or simply looking to expand what your existing system can do. Throughout the session, we will highlight real examples that show how LED customization can improve visibility, clarity, and communication on the shop floor.

Requirements covered in this video:

• Supported software version
• Required software option for LED Control
• Access to the correct DCS settings
• Basic understanding of robot inputs and outputs

What we will learn together:

• How to enable CRX LED Control in the system menu
• How to assign LED colors to digital outputs
• How to set up flashing intervals
• How to control LED colors in real time from the I/O menu

By the end of this overview, you will understand how to customize your CRX’s LED indicators in a way that aligns with your workflow and enhances operator awareness.
