Product Description

The GE Module Genius Controller DS215UCVBG1AF features one Ethernet connector, and multiple LED status indicators. The GE Module Genius Controller  DS215UCVBG1AF is also populated with 2 blocks of configuration switches and a connector that enables attachment to a hard disk drive.

The board is designed to be inserted in a VME rack and depending on the model, it requires 2 or 4 spaces in the rack. The rear of the controller has connectors that mate with matching connectors at the rear of the rack. The connectors provide power and signals for the controller. The controller receives signals from other devices and components in the rack. The controller processes the signals and transmits the new signals to other components and devices.

An operator can monitor the processing by viewing status LEDs in the front of the controller. For example, the OK LED is lit if the controller passes all checks during startup and is processing successfully. The ENET LED is lit if the Ethernet network is functioning. The LED flashes when activity is taking place on the Ethernet network.

A second set of of LEDs are available if an error occurs. The LEDs display the hex representation of the error code. This provides the operator with a quick understanding of the error without accessing the troubleshooting tool box. The tool box is an application available on the controller that list all the errors and warnings on the controller. The errors are listed in decimal and hex formats. The tool box also provides an indication of the processing taking place when the error occurred.
