This chapter describes the connectors on the IRC4 card. These are accessed from the rear
of a VM600 MPS rack.
Information is also given on attributing specific alarm signals to specific relays on IRC4 cards
using the Open Collector Bus and the Raw Bus.
12.1General block diagram
A block diagram of the IRC4 card is shown in Figure 12-1. It shows an IRC4 installed in the
rear of a rack and connected to the Raw and OC buses.
12.2Definition of the screw terminals on the IRC4 card
The IRC4 panel (rear of rack) card contains two terminal strips, J1 and J2 (see Figure 12-2).
Each strip consists of a socket and a mating connector, which contains 16 screw terminals.

Each socket and mating connector can be equipped with a mechanical key system to prevent
