POWER LED
The POWER
LED is lit while the cFP-22
xx
is powered on. This LED
indicates that the power supply connected to the controller
is adequate. The
POWER LED lights green when the controller is using the primary power
supply and amber when the controller is using the secondary power supply.
User-Configurable LEDs
You can use the FieldPoint Write VI to write values to LEDs A, B, C, and
D. The LEDs can have any of three values: 0 is OFF, 1 is green, and 2 is
amber.
Removable CompactFlash (cFP-2220 Only)
You can use CompactFlash for removable data storage with the cFP-2220.
The controller takes Type I and Type II CompactFlash up to 512 MB. With
the power off, open the CompactFlash cover and plug a CompactFlash into
the slot, then power up the controller. You can access the removable
CompactFlash by using LabVIEW file I/O VIs running embedded on the
controller. To read from or write to the removable CompactFlash, point the
VI to the
D:
drive on the controller.
Caution
You must power down the controller before installing or removing a
CompactFlash. Removing the CompactFlash without powering down the controller can
cause data corruption. In order to get data from the CompactFlash while the controller is
operating, use an FTP client to download the data from the
D:
drive on the controller.
File Transfer Capability
When running on a cFP-22
xx
, the Real-Time Engine has a File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) server. The FTP server gives you the ability to use any
standard FTP utility for transferring files to and from the hard drive of the
cFP-22
xx
. You must provide the correct password when opening a
connection to the cFP-22
xx
if the configuration is locked in MAX.
For programmatic file transfer control in LabVIEW or LabVIEW
Real-Time, use the Internet Developers Toolkit, included in the LabVIEW
Enterprise Connectivity Toolset. Refer to
ni.com
for more information
about the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset.
Note
Contact NI to determine whether the version of the toolkit you are using can be
downloaded onto the cFP-22
xx
.
