Engine / Generator Status


Many instruments are available to read from the Gencomm
Registers. These registers tell us the exact state of the engine /
generator.
However sometimes an application requires to know an ‘overview’
status item.

For example ‘Generator Available’ is often required. This is an


overview of the status of a number of parameters within the
controller.

A controller Virtual LED,Digital Output or Configurable Gencomm


Register can be configured to provide this status item, that itself
can be monitored using Gencomm.

Engine / Generator Status


Virtual LED
A virtual LED can be considered the same as a Module LED or
Digital Output that has no physical way to manifest itself.
The only way to test it’s status is by using Gencomm.

Example Configure Virtual LED 1 to show Generator Available.

Engine / Generator Status


Configurable Gencomm
Configurable Gencomm Pages are used to give a flexible means of
providing a contiguous set of registers that can be easily read in a
single operation.
