4  Local control using the Densité frame control panel 

 

4.1  Overview 

 
Push the SELECT button on the SME-1901/1911 card 
edge (see Section 1.4) to assign the local control panel 
to operate the SME-1901/1911. Use the control panel 
buttons to navigate through the menu, as described 
below. 
 
All of the cards installed in a Densité frame are 
connected to the frame’s controller card, which handles 
all interaction between the cards and the outside world. 
There are no operating controls located on the cards 
themselves. The controller supports remote operation 
via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using its 
integrated control panel. 
 
The local control panel is fastened to the front of the 
CPU-ETH2 controller card, and when installed is 
located in the front center of the frame, positioned in front of the power supplies. The panel consists of a display unit 
capable of displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five pushbuttons. 
 
The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pushing the SELECT button on the front edge of that card.  

 

Pushing the CONTROLLER button on the control panel selects the Controller card itself.  

 

The STATUS LED on the selected card flashes yellow. 

 
The local control panel displays a menu that can be navigated using the four pushbuttons located beside the display. 
The functionality of the pushbuttons is as follows: 
 
[+]  [–] 

Used for menu navigation and value modification  

 
[SELECT]  Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value is shown, pushing this button once 

enables modification of the value using the [+] and [–] buttons; a second push confirms the new value 

 
[ESC] 

Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been confirmed; pushing [ESC] causes the 
parameter to revert to its former value. 

 
 

Pushing [ESC] moves the user back up to the previous menu level. At the main menu, [ESC] does 

not

 

exit the menu system. To exit, re-push the [SELECT] button for the card being controlled. 

 
If no controls are operated for 30 seconds, the controller reverts to its normal standby status, and the selected card’s 
STATUS LED reverts to its normal operating mode. 
 

4.2  Menu for local control 

 
The SME-1901/1911 has operating parameters which may be adjusted locally at the controller card interface.  

 

Press the SELECT button on the SME-1901 front card edge to assign the Densité frame’s local control panel 
to the SME-1901/1911. 

 

Use the keys on the local control panel to step through the displayed menu to configure and adjust the SME-
1901/1911.  

 
The complete menu structure is shown in Annex 1 to this document, beginning on page 28.
