Product description
3.1 Functional description and components
3.1.1 Function
The LED strip shows the colour status display within a
rack. The LED strip displays pending error messages
with different colours for the selected application. Each
of the three connection cables of the LED strip controls
the three primary colours: red, green and blue. If two or
three colours are activated concurrently, the associated
secondary colours can also be generated. The warn-
ings and alarms of the sensors are linked via tasks in
the CMC III system.
Note:
In the following text, the designation
"CMC III Processing Unit" refers to the
"CMC III Processing Unit" variants and also
to the base systems. All text passages that
apply only to a specific variant are identified
accordingly.
In general, three connection options can be differenti-
ated.
–
I/O unit:
The colour of the LED strip changes to indi-
cate the status of the various connected sensors. For
this purpose, in addition to the power pack and to
the CMC III PU, an I/O unit as well as the appropriate
sensors are required.
–
Alarm relay:
The colour of the LED strip changes to
indicate the switching state of the CMC III PU alarm
relay. For this purpose, a CMC III PU is required in
addition to the power pack.
–
Continuous illumination:
Depending on the select-
ed connected wires, the LED strip illuminates con-
tinuously in the desired colour, independent of the
status of any connected components. Only one CMC
III power pack is required for this purpose.
3.1.2 Components
The LED strip consists of an extruded aluminium sec-
tion and a plastic cover. Four magnets are mounted at
the rear of the LED strip.
