Using Multichannel Control
A powerful feature of the M–2100 is the ability to control more than one
processing channel (FCM). A Channel Control subpanel (
Figure 2-1 on
page 2-2 ) located in the top left corner of the panel, allows you to:
■ Enable/disable automation for each channel,
■ Assign Channel Control buttons to specific channel (Frame Controller
Modules or FCMs),
■ Control chosen FCMs using MMCP controls, and
■ Monitor channel status.
Channel Control Overview
The Channel Control subpanel ( Figure 2-2 ) allows control of up to eight
channels from the panel. The panel will respond to the lamps and tallies for
only one panel at a time. This is the Primary channel. Up to seven Sec-
ondary channels can be assigned; one of which can be chosen to replace the
Primary fails for some reason. Assigned and connected channels do not
have to be selected as Primaries or Secondaries. The color and state (bright
or dim) of the
Channel Control buttons will indicate the status of each con-
nected channel (see Table 2-1 on page 2-4 ).
The Channel Control buttons also enable and disable automation of any asso-
ciated assigned channel and show automation status with the yellow LED
above each button.
