Operation
• Set the frame address and the CAN termination if necessary / mode switch not used
• Reset the FC-972 any time (STATUS LED lights green): press the INIT button
• To initialize the FC-972 to factory default settings:
When power on or after RESET, the STATUS LED will light yellow after 5 seconds.
Now press the INIT button and hold it firmly until the STATUS LED flashes 3 times.
Afterwards the LED will flash green 3 times to acknowledge the init command and the FC-

General Function
The FC-972 Remote enables remote operation and configuration of any externally configured
modules via LAN. Standard remote technologies such as web-browser interface, as well as
Eucon control, may be used to interface to modules. AD924, SD942, and SD943 modules
require an FC972 to enable access to all on-board functions and parameters.
The controller is a 64 pin dual in-line Single Board Computer based on the Motorola 32 bit
MCF5280 "Coldfire" engine with an embedded OS (eCos). Internal frame communication is
performed via CAN buss with the FC972 providing an external TCP/IP interface to the internal
CAN buss. The CAN bus is a simple two-wire differential serial bus capable of operation in noisy
electrical environments with a high level of data integrity. It is an open architecture and user-
definable transmission medium making it extremely flexible.
Very important is the termination of the transmission medium here to avoid signal degradation
reflections.
A RS232 modem interface is reserved for direct access to the controller's terminal interface.
