System construction
The EST3 system is assembled in layers as shown in Figure 1-1.
The cabinet (1) houses all the system components. A variety of
cabinets are available for as few as 5 and as many as 21 modules.
A 3-RCC14 cabinet is illustrated in Figure 1-1.
Mounted directly to the cabinets are the rail chassis assemblies
(2), of which there are three types: rail, audio, and audio with
telephone. The most common chassis is the rail chassis, which
provides mounting and electrical connections for the local rail
modules (LRMs) (4). Mounted on the rear of the chassis are the
cabinet power supplies (3).
The local rail modules (4) are the specialized cards that provide
an interface between the CPU and the field wiring. The front of
any rail module can support a control/display module (5),
providing customized operator controls and annunciators.
