How to setup multiple signs using one VFC controller?

Topic

  • What ports on the VCB II should the fiber from the VFC be plugged into?
  • IP comm ports for multiple display setup.
  • How to hook up fiber with multiple VX displays?

Environment

  • Product Family: Transportation 
  • Product: VF, VX, VM
  • Component: VCB Display Interface, TB1 signal 
  • Control System: VFC 

Steps

  • Inside the VFC under "shared" add the sign count which is needed for the site
  • Alias to sign is used when a single VFC is controlling multiple signs with different ports for each sign with a single VCB.  If this is the case, the automatic translation table takes longer to generate than the regular setup. Please allow up to 10 minutes for the TT to create each sign before adjusting power or configurations. 
  • Fiber should be run between both ports A and B on the VFC and VCB. 
    • Port A on VFC to Port A on VCB, and Port B on VFC to Port B on VCB. Examples below.
