Interpreting the Slave Display Status

You can switch over to the slave display mode used by pressing the DISPLAY button. You switch from group to group by pressing the DISPLAY button again: The slave display is active when at least one group LED is lit.

Characteristics of the Slave Display

SIf the CP 243-2 is in the configuration mode, all detected AS-i slaves are displayed.

SIf the CP 243-2 is in the protected mode, all active AS-i slaves are displayed. In the protected mode, failed or existing but unconfigured AS-i slaves are indicated by the corresponding LED flashing.

Display Statuses in Detail

The AS-i slaves are displayed in groups of five. The three group LEDs indicate which group of 5 is being displayed in binary code. The 5 LEDs of the slave display then indicate the detected or active AS-i slaves within the group.

To find out which slaves are active, select the group of 5 (line) corresponding to the lit group LEDs. The currently lit LEDs of the slave display then indicate which slaves within this group are currently active.

If a group of B slaves is displayed, the ªBº LED is also lit.
