Section 3: RCP2-1000 RM Front Panel Operation
3.0 Introduction
Control of the RCP2-1000 RM can be handled through Front Panel operation, or
remotely through Parallel or Serial communication to a computer.
For Local (front panel) operation of the controller, simply toggle the Local/Remote but-
ton until the yellow LED indicator is illuminated on Local. When in Remote mode, the
front panel buttons will be inoperative. The indicators and LCD display will still show
the status of the system. The Local/Remote key is always operative so that the appro-
priate mode can be selected. Remote operation enables the serial communication and
parallel I/O control.
3.1 RCP2-1000 Front Panel Description
The RCP2-1000 front panel includes ten (10) LEDs to indicate the internal state of the
SSPA. Five (5) fault condition LEDs on left side of the front panel reflect some of the
SSPA major faults plus summary fault state. SSPA online LED will turn green when
SSPA is in Online mode (1:1 Mode) or serves as AC power indicator in standalone
mode. Local/Remote and Mute/Unmute LEDs show the current control mode and mute
state of the SSPA.
A diagram of the Front Panel is shown in Figure 3-1.

A label on the lower left corner of the controller displays the model number and a brief
description of the unit. The serial number is located on the rear panel of the controller.
