AMC8 analog monitoring card (ABE04x and ABE056)
OVERVIEW OF VM600 MPS HARDWARE
2.4 AMC8 analog monitoring card (ABE04x and ABE056)
The AMC8 card has the following panel elements (see Figure 2-9):
1- One global DIAG/STATUS indicator for the AMC8
/ IOC8T card pair
This multi-coloured, multi-function LED is used to indicate:
• The status of the card configuration
• Possible hardware errors
• Whether the Danger Bypass (DB) special function is in use.
2- Status indicators for the 8 measurement channels
Each multi-coloured, multi-function LED is used to indicate:
• Whether the signal input for that channel is valid
• The presence of an incoming signal in the Alert/Danger condition
• Whether the channel inhibit function is in use.
3- RS-232 connector
This
9-pin D-sub connector can be used to configure an AMC8 card in a stand-alone rack.
This is done via an interface cable from a computer running one of the VM600 MPS
software packages (MPS1 or MPS2). See Figure 2-6 for details of the interface cable.
2.5 IOC8T input/output card (ABE04x and ABE056)
The IOC8T panel (rear of rack) contains four contact strips, identified as J1 to J4.
Strips J1 to J3 consist of a socket and a mating connector, which contains either 24 or 20
cage clamp terminals (see Figure 2-8). The terminals can accept wires with a cross section
of between 0.08 and 1.0 mm
