Features

• For network connectivity, the UCVG features two Ethernet ports compliant with the 10BaseT/100BaseTX standards, each utilizing an RJ-45 connector. These Ethernet ports enable versatile communication capabilities.
• The primary Ethernet port on the UCVG is specifically designed for integration with the Universal Data Hub (UDH), facilitating both configuration tasks and peer-to-peer communication.
• This ensures that the UCVG can be easily managed and can communicate efficiently with other devices or systems within the network, making it a suitable choice for various applications that require stable and rapid data transfer.

Status LED

• B (Booting): This red LED indicates that the BIOS boot process is currently in progress. When this LED is illuminated, it signifies that the system is initializing and loading the basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware necessary for the hardware to communicate with the operating system.
• I (IDE Activity): This yellow LED lights up to show that IDE activity is occurring. It means the board is actively reading from or writing to an IDE storage device, such as a hard drive or a solid-state drive, indicating that data transfer operations are underway.
• P (Power): The green LED signals that power is present and the board is receiving the necessary electrical supply to operate. When this LED is on, it confirms that the board is properly powered and ready for operation.
• R (Board Reset): This red LED illuminates to indicate that the board is in a reset state. It shows that the system is either being reset manually or automatically, signaling a restart process which reinitializes the board's hardware and software components.

COM Ports

• COM1: This port is reserved primarily for diagnostics purposes, providing essential connectivity for troubleshooting and system monitoring tasks. It operates at a baud rate of 9600, utilizing 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit configuration. With this setup, COM1 serves as a reliable interface for accessing diagnostic information and performing system checks.
• COM2: The second COM port is designated for serial Modbus communication, enabling seamless interaction with Modbus-compatible devices or systems. It supports flexible baud rate configurations, allowing communication at either 9600 or 19200 baud, depending on the specific requirements of the Modbus network. This port facilitates efficient data exchange and control within Modbus-based industrial automation or process control environments.
