late to the operation and performance of the CP372. Overall system integration and compli-
ance with its requirements is beyond the scope of this manual.
2.5.2 Operation M/C
Operation M/C is primarily a function of the CP372 driver software and the application. However,
when the CP372 is in operation, there are cluster operational status LEDs available as well as an
external cluster enable/disable function.
The cluster activation LEDs (0-3 for cluster A; 4-7 for cluster B) indicate when lit that the corre-
sponding cluster has been activated for operation.
Use of the external cluster enable/disable function requires the process side of the application
to provide switching functionality in order to disable all of the outputs of each single cluster at
one time. This function permits the separate physical disabling of all of each cluster’s outputs
independent of the application software. This functionality may either be controlled by an oper-
ator or automatically by an independent process function. For further information concerning
this function refer to chapters 4 and 5.
