ARCNET Communications
Communications within the system between the four system microprocessors is by means of ARCNet, generated by a Universal
Local Area Network Controller. The term “node” refers to each microprocessor and its associated support hardware.
The ARCNet chip interfaces to other nodes by means of RS485 transceivers. The RS485 standard allows receivers and
transmitters to be connected on a single pair of wire for transmitted and received data. Incoming data causes the node ARCNet
chip to interrupt the processor.
Fluoro Functions PCB ARCNet Node
The Fluoro Functions PCB Node controls most mechanical elements associated with the C-Arm, i.e., collimator iris, leaves,
camera and leaf rotation, etc. The node also interfaces with the X-Ray Control Panel and displays all messages and techniques
on the control panel.
