Some modules have a great number of parameters and alarms. If you have control and
monitoring software available and the required hardware (FR6822+QXFE frame), it is
strongly recommended that you use it.
Using
Card-Edge
Controls
Many modules contain controls that include two control switches and a series of LED
indicators on the module’s card edge.
The two card-edge switches work together to provide access to all of the parameter banks
and control options on the module: the mode select rotary switch and the navigation toggle
switch. Figure 3-2 illustrates the location of these switches.
Figure 3-2 Card-Edge Controls
The mode select rotary switch (hex switch) selects the parameter type. Rotate the switch
until you see the number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) that corresponds with the desired
parameter. To view hex switch positions and corresponding banks and controls, see the
table entitled “Card-Edge Parameter Options” in the individual product manual that
accompanies your module.
Note: Position “0” permits the navigation toggle switch to select a bank.
The navigation toggle switch selects a bank (when the hex switch is set to “0”) and
individual parameter values. Follow the markings on the module board (Up and Down) to
set a parameter value.
Toggle the switch Up through the list of banks or to increase the parameter value.
Toggle the switch Down through the list of banks or to decrease the parameter value.
See the section titled “Changing Parameter Settings” in the individual product manual that
accompanies your module for more information.
Note: Some 6800+ modules can be used in both horizontal and vertical configurations.
Ensure that you follow the Up and Down markings on the module to increase or decrease
parameter values, respectively.
Introducing
Parameter
Types
Most 6800+ parameters are adjustable and can be set using either card-edge controls (see
Using Card-Edge Controls on page 29) or a software control application. However, some
parameters are considered “read-only” and cannot be changed. These parameters
(indicated by the abbreviation “[RO]”) provide status and feedback information only.
Parameter lists may wrap or clip. If the list is set to wrap, it returns to the beginning of its
range or options after you have toggled through all of them. Clipping requires you to scroll
back through the options to return to the beginning of the list.
