Configuring the RLC16 card
USING THE RLC16 CARD
11.3Configuring the RLC16 card
The RLC16 is used to supplement the on-board (local) relays on IOC4T and IOC8T cards.
The jumpers on the RLC16 must be set up at the same time as these cards are configured.
For this reason, the configuration of the RLC16 card is described in the chapters concerning
the MPC4 / IOC4T and AMC8 / IOC8T card pairs.
NOTE: See 9.12 Assigning alarm signals to relays on the RLC16 card and 10.8 Assigning
alarm signals to relays on the RLC16 card for further information.
11.4Slot number coding for RLC16 cards
The RLC16 card does not contain any electronic keying mechanism to prevent it being
installed in the wrong slot of a VM600 rack. This is because the RLC16 does not contain any
intelligence (that is, it is not programmed with a configuration) and does not function as a card
pair (such as the MPC4 / IOC4T or AMC8 / IOC8T).
Although RLC16 cards can be installed in almost every slot of a rack (see 8.2 Attribution of
slots in the rack), the actual slot location of an RLC16 card in a configured system is dictated
by the Open Collector (OC) Bus (see 3.4.3 Open Collector Bus) and other details of the
VM600 MPS system configuration.
