Board Replacement
Replacing a controller is a meticulous process that demands precision and care to ensure seamless functionality and system integrity. Whether prompted by a failure or as part of routine maintenance, following a structured procedure is paramount to guaranteeing a smooth transition and minimizing downtime. The steps outlined below provide a comprehensive guide for replacing a controller:
- Power Down and Disconnect: As a precautionary measure, power down the rack where the controller resides, and disconnect all cables from the front of the controller board. This ensures safety and prevents any electrical interference during the replacement process.
- Remove and Replace: Carefully remove the failed controller and replace it with a spare controller. Attention to detail is crucial here to avoid damage to the surrounding components and ensure proper seating of the new controller.
- Disconnect VCMI: Extend the VCMI (Visual Control & Monitoring Interface) out of the rack sufficiently to disconnect it from the backplane. This step facilitates direct communication with the controller during the reloading process.
- Connect Serial Loader Cable: Establish a connection between the computer and COM1 of the controller using the serial loader cable.
- Configure TCP/IP Address: Utilize the serial loader to configure the controller with its TCP/IP address, ensuring seamless communication within the network environment.
- Reconnect Ethernet Cable and Power Up: Reconnect the Ethernet cable to the controller and proceed to power up the rack, initiating the boot-up sequence for the new controller.
- Download Runtime: Utilize the designated toolbox to download the runtime to the controller, enabling it to execute essential system functions and processes.
- Download Application Code: Use the toolbox to download the application code to permanent storage within the controller, ensuring persistence and accessibility for future operations.
Ethernet LEDs
- Active LED:
- Blinking: Indicates that the Ethernet interface is actively transmitting or receiving data packets. A blinking Active LED signifies that the interface is operational and engaged in network communication.
- Solid: Indicates that the Ethernet interface is inactive or not transmitting or receiving data packets. A solid Active LED suggests that the interface is not currently engaged in network communication.
- Link LED:
- Yellow: Indicates that the Ethernet interface is operating at a speed of 10BaseT. This speed is associated with older Ethernet standards and offers a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Mbps.
- Green: Indicates that the Ethernet interface is operating at a speed of 100BaseTX. This speed is associated with newer Ethernet standards and offers a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbps.
