Status Indicators
Figure12 shows the status indicator LEDs on the [c]FP-CTR-502.
Figure 12. Status Indicators
The [c]FP-CTR-502 has two green status LEDs, POWER and
READY. After you install the [c]FP-CTR-502 onto a terminal base
or backplane and apply power to the connected network module,
the green POWER indicator lights and the [c]FP-CTR-502
informs the network module of its presence. When the network
module recognizes the [c]FP-CTR-502, it sends initial
configuration information to the [c]FP-CTR-502. After the
[c]FP-CTR-502 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.

Isolation and Safety Guidelines
Caution Read the following information before
attempting to connect the [c]FP-CTR-502 to any circuits
that may contain hazardous voltages.
This section describes the isolation of the [c]FP-CTR-502 and its
compliance with international safety standards. The field wiring
connections are isolated from the backplane and the inter-module
communication bus. The isolation is provided by the module,
which has optical and galvanic isolation barriers designed and
tested to protect against transient fault voltages of up to 2,300 Vrms.
