Jupiter Facility Control System
The Jupiter control system can be used to operate the Trinix router
using a VM-3000 or CM-4000 System Controller (Figure 34). The VM/
CM can receive switching commands from a variety of serial sources,
including Jupiter control panels or an automation computer.
Figure 34. Control connections to Jupiter Facility Control System (example).
In this application, the Trinix is operated in the “external crossspoint
bus control” mode, during which the Broadlinx board releases control
of the crosspoint bus. Switch commands arriving at the crosspoint bus
connector on the rear of the chassis will be executed.
