170 Virtual Channels
imc CANSAS Users Manual - Doc. Version 1.9 - 05.12.2014© 2014 imc Meßsysteme GmbH
The status of the universal amplifier module's bridge channels is indicated by an LED. The function is
designed for displaying bridge channels, i.e. channels which can be balanced to 0. As a rule, the status for
all of the module's bridge channels is indicated. All status values except "Successfully balanced" and "Not
balanced" can only apply to both channels at once, anyway, so they are the same for both channels. And
if the channels have different status in terms of "balanced" or "Not balanced", then "Not balanced" takes
precedence. If no bridge channel is configured, the flashing pattern will indicate "Successfully balanced".
If at least one sensor connected to the module was changed, the flashing pattern for "Other or no
sensors" is displayed. This can mean that a connected sensor was disconnected, that a sensor was
exchanged for another one or that a sensor was connected at a previously free terminal. The module
only recognizes the change once it has been re-booted, e.g., briefly disconnected from the power supply.
The Flash doesn't contain stored balancing values, and balancing
has not been performed since the module was activated.
The balance values stored in the Flash are used, and balancing
has not been performed since the module was activated.
Balancing has been performed since the module was activated.
Balancing currently being performed.

Channel containing status word
Description: The status word is outputted at the specified clock rate. In the basic state, the status word is
0. Depending on the status and module, the following values are added to the status word:
Bridge amplifier module:
In the basic state (status word = 0), the bridge amplifier channels 1 and 2 are not balanced. Depending on
the status, the following values are added:
