Assigning alarm signals to relays on the RLC16 card
CONFIGURATION OF AMC8 / IOC8T CARDS
10.8.2 Using the Raw Bus to switch relays
The Raw Bus can be used to supplement the OC Bus by allowing additional alarm signals to
be routed to the relays on the RLC16 card. (The Raw Bus is common to all IOC8T and RLC16
cards.)
MPS configuration example
An example illustrating the use of the Raw Bus is shown in Figure 10-15. In this example, four
AMC8 cards and their corresponding IOC8T cards are mounted in a rack. It is assumed that
the Open Collector Bus is used to convey alarm signals to relay cards RLC #1 to RLC #4.
The OC Bus lines are not shown on this drawing for the sake of clarity, but they effect the
following links (see 3.4.3 Open Collector Bus):
• IOC #1 in slot 3 connects to RLC #1 in slot 1
• IOC #2 in slot 5 connects to RLC #2 in slot 2
• IOC #3 in slot 7 connects to RLC #3 in slot 15
• IOC #4 in slot 9 connects to RLC #4 in slot 16.
The Raw Bus in this example is used to allow each IOC card to access half an RLC card:
• IOC #1 and IOC #2 can access RLC #5 via Raw Bus lines 31 to 16
• IOC #3 and IOC #4 can access RLC #6 via Raw Bus lines 47 to 32.
