GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3.4.3 Open Collector Bus
Each Open Collector Bus (OC Bus) contains 16 parallel bus lines and is a dedicated bus
linking one specific IRC4 or RLC16 card to two specific IOC4T or IOC8T cards (see
Figure 3-6).
The OC buses are reserved for sending alarm signals from an MPC4 / IOC4T card pair or an
AMC8 / IOC8T card pair to an IRC4 or RLC16 card. These signals are then used to switch
relays on the IRC4 or RLC16.
The ABE04x rack contains the following dedicated OC Buses:
