4.3 Overview of MPC4 operation
The MPC4 card implements a variety of signal processing and monitoring functions, each of
which requires real-time continuous processing of the inputs. It can execute up to a maximum
of four processes simultaneously, either on one sensor or on a combination of up to four
sensors.
The block diagram in Figure 4-3 summarises the operation of the MPC4 card.

Notes
*The raw measurement signals and TTL-conditioned speed signals are output on the
MPC4 card’s panel BNC connectors and are also sent to the IOC4T.
**The “processed values” include the two “monitored” values. They also include the OK
levels of the sensors. The “speed values” are also monitored and include the OK value of
the sensor.
