FP-CTR-500 and cFP-CTR-500
When you set the output to one of the pulse modes, the frequency
of the pulse train (
f
pulse
) is the same as that shown in
, but the output frequency is half that value when
you set the output channel to one of the toggle modes.
Status Indicators
Figure 12 shows the status indicator LEDs on the [c]FP-CTR-500.
Figure 12.
Status Indicators
The [c]FP-CTR-500 has two green status LEDs,
POWER
and
READY
. After you install the [c]FP-CTR-500 onto a terminal base
or backplane and apply power to the connected network module,
the green
POWER
indicator lights and the [c]FP-CTR-500
informs the network module of its presence. When the network
module recognizes the [c]FP-CTR-500, it sends initial
configuration information to the [c]FP-CTR-500. After the
[c]FP-CTR-500 receives this initial information, the green
READY
indicator lights and the module is in normal operating
mode.
In addition to the green
POWER
and
READY
indicators, each
channel has a numbered, green status indicator that lights when the
channel is in the ON state.
