1-3.2 ATM Series Driver Modules
The ATM Series Driver Modules permit third-party graphical annunciators and large
numbers of auxiliary relays to be used with the ARIES. Two types of driver modules can
be used, Models ATM-L and ATM-R.
The ARIES supports up to 16 ATM-L or ATM-R Driver Modules, or any combination of
these two modules, together with RDCMs, that does not exceed 31 total addresses.
1-3.2.1 MODEL ATM-L ANNUNCIATOR DRIVER MODULE
The Model ATM-L Annunciator Driver Module provides the ARIES with up to 32
programmable, supervised LED outputs for graphical or tabular annunciators,
along with 6 system-level LED outputs and 5 system-level input circuits for
functional switches.
The system-level LEDs correspond to the following general conditions: Module
Power, Pre-Alarm, Alarm, Alarm Silence, Supervisory, and Trouble.
The input circuits for functional switches provide for the following operator
intervention: System Reset, Event Acknowledgement, Alarm Silence, Fire Drill,
and Lamp Test.
1-3.2.2 MODEL ATM-R RELAY DRIVER MODULE
The Model ATM-R Relay Driver Module (Figure 1-7) can activate up to 32
programmable, supervised relays.

1-3.3 Network Interface Card (NIC)
The Network Interface Card (NIC), shown in Figure 1-8, allows up to 32 ARIES Control
Units to be combined into an integrated, peer-to-peer network for annunciation, event
output control, and operator intervention. The NIC regenerates and boosts network
communications between ARIES Control Units and electrically isolates the networked
control units from each other.
