System Status Indicators
Six system status indicators divided into two groups of three LED’s each are provided on the
front panel of the CP321. The first group (LED1) is application oriented whereas the second
group (LED2) is dedicated to and controlled by the Ethernet interface. The table below provides
an overview of the functionality associated with these indicators.
2.4.5
Coding Switch
The CP321 provides a 16-position, rotary coding switch (S2), which is available to the user for
general programming purposes. The setting and usage of this switch is a function of the appli-
cation (e.g. To configure software or change functionality of the board depending on the posi-
tion of the switch without reprogramming the configuration via interface access or software).
The actual position of the switch is read out of the coding switch register as a hexadecimal val-
ue. Refer to chapter 4, Coding Switch Register, for details of the register.
2.4.6
Digital Temperature Sensor (LM75)
For purposes of temperature surveillance and a means of determining the current board tem-
perature there is an digital temperature sensor (National Semiconductor LM75) installed on the
CP321. Used as a thermal watchdog, the LM75 can generate a maskable interrupt which can
be used by an application. In addition, the actual temperature can be read out of LM75 via the
I²C bus. This is can be used, for example, to maintain the calibration of the onboard RTC over
a wide operational temperature range. Refer to chapter 4, DTS Register, for further details.
