2.4.1.2 User Interface
One of the most striking and advanced features of the 7200 ACU is the user
interface, which combines an 8-inch by 4-inch electroluminescent display with a
custom 24-station keypad to provide the most straightforward, powerful, and user-
friendly operating platform in the industry. As shown in Figure 2-2, the 7200 ACU
front panel layout is uncluttered and offers a logical format for the display of
information. For more information on the user interface refer to Section 2.5.1.
2.4.1.3 Digital Input/Output Printed-Circuit Board Assembly
The I/O PCB provides the electrical interface between the ACU and the drive
cabinet. In addition, the I/O card serves as the interface between the CPU and the
ACU rear panel status inputs and control outputs. There are a total of 24 digital
inputs (some inputs are used internally so all 24 are not available through the rear
panel connectors). See table 2-7 for the digital inputs specifications.
