1Global DIAG/STATUS indicator LED for the card

This multi-function, multi-colour LED is used for the following purposes:

• To indicate normal operation.

• To indicate the alarm status of “multi-channels”

• To indicate an AMC8 hardware failure.

Table5-1 provides detailed information on the behaviour of the AMC8 DIAG/STATUS LED

for the card.

NOTE: In Table5-1. events are presented in decreasing order of priority for an

AMC8/IOC8T card pair (that is, “Red blinking” has the highest priority).

Table5-1:Behaviour of DIAG/STATUS LED for the card

Behaviour of card

DIAG/STATUS LED Event(s)

Red blinking

AMC8 hardware failure

or

AMC8 powered up but not yet configured

(monitoring not running)

Yellow blinking Configuration error or IOC8T slot number mismatch

(monitoring not running)

Green blinking AMC8 configured but in stabilisation phase

(monitoring not running)

Red (continuous)

Note: Applies to multi-channel processing only.

For Danger level alarms configured as not latched: indicates that

a signal is below the lower Danger level (D−) or above the upper

Danger level(D+). That is, there is a currently active processing alarm.

For Danger level alarms configured as latched: indicates that

a signal was below the lower Danger level (D−) or above the upper

Danger level(D+) and was latched but has not yet been reset, or that a

signal is below the lower Danger level or above the upper Danger level.

That is, either there was a previously active processing alarm that has

not been reset or there is a currently active processing alarm.

Yellow (continuous)

Note: Applies to multi-channel processing only.

For Alert level alarms configured as not latched: indicates that

a signal is below the lower Alert level (A−) or above the upper

Alert level (A+). That is, there is a currently active processing alarm.

For Alert level alarms configured as latched: indicates that

a signal was below the lower Alert level (A−) or above the upper

Alert level (A+) and was latched but has not yet been reset, or that a

signal is below the lower Alert level or above the upper Alert level. That

is, either there was a previously active processing alarm that has not

been reset or there is a currently active processing alarm.

Green (continuous) Normal card operation – AMC8 configuration is running correctly with

no alarms and no errors

Individual status indicator LEDs for measurement channels

Table5-2 provides detailed information on the behaviour of the AMC8 status indicator LEDs

for the eight individual measurement channels.

NOTE: In Table5-2. events are presented in decreasing order of priority for an

AMC8/ IOC8T card pair (that is, “Off” has the highest priority).

Table5-2:Behaviour of status indicator LEDs for individual measurement channels

Behaviour of

measurement channel

status LED

Event(s)

Off

Channel is not configured

or

AMC8 configuration is not running

Green blinking Signal input to the channel is not valid

(either the lower or the upper “OK Level” has been exceeded)

Green blinking slowly

(approximately once per

second)

The channel inhibit function is activated for the channel

Red(continuous)

Note: Applies to single-channel processing only.

For Danger level alarms configured as not latched: indicates that

a signal is below the lower Danger level (D−) or above the upper

Dangerlevel (D+). That is, there is a currently active processing alarm.

For Danger level alarms configured as latched: indicates that

a signal was below the lower Danger level (D−) or above the upper

Dangerlevel (D+) and was latched but has not yet been reset, or that a

signal is below the lower Danger level or above the upper Danger level.

That is, either there was a previously active processing alarm that has

not been reset or there is a currently active processing alarm.

Yellow(continuous)

Note: Applies to single-channel processing only.

For Alert level alarms configured as not latched: indicates that

a signal is below the lower Alert level (A−) or above the upper

Alert level (A+). That is, there is a currently active processing alarm.

For Alert level alarms configured as latched: indicates that

a signal was below the lower Alert level (A−) or above the upper

Alert level (A+) and was latched but has not yet been reset, or that a

signal is below the lower Alert level or above the upper Alert level.

That is, either there was a previously active processing alarm that has

not been reset or there is a currently active processing alarm.

Green(continuous)

Normal channel operation – channel is configured and signal input is

valid (not exceeding lower or upper “OK Levels”). That is, there are no

active single-channel processing or multi-channel processing alarms.
