12.3 Guidelines for the FC2080
The following points are to be observed when assembling components, particularly
the module bus cards in the card cages (5 slots):
Overall system
● A maximum of 7 card cages (5 slots) can be installed, i.e. 6 card cages (5
slots) can be installed in addition to the card cage (5 slots) on the processor
unit (19", FC2080).
● A maximum of 4 card cages (5 slots) can be connected to a module bus.
● In total, a maximum of 30 line cards can be used.
● In total, a maximum of 10 I/O cards (programmable) can be used.
● In total, a maximum of 7 I/O cards (horn/monitored) can be used.
● In total, a maximum of 7 I/O cards (remote transmission) can be used.
Card cage (CPU)
● A slot is reserved in the card cage (CPU) of the processor unit (19", FC2080)
for a second ↑ CPU card (FC2080). This CPU card makes standby operation
for redundant CPU operation possible.
● A maximum of 2 module bus or I/O cards can be used in the card cage (CPU)
of the processor unit (19", FC2080).
Card cage (5 slots)
● A maximum of one I/O card (horn/monitored) can be used per card cage.
● Maximum current per card cage is 8 A.
Power supply, batteries, and module bus
● The space available for card cages and devices is reduced accordingly when a
second battery tray (19") is installed with a second carrier (19", power supply).
● A maximum of two carriers (19", power supply) FHA2022-A1 can be installed
for each housing (19", pedestal cabinet).
● A maximum of two housings (19", pedestal cabinet), positioned directly next to
one another, are permitted in the structure of the FC2080.
● If two housings (19", pedestal cabinet) are being used, the two carriers (19",
power supply) along with the associated batteries and module bus cards may
be distributed between them.
● When using two housings (19", pedestal cabinet) with card cages distributed
between them, these must be positioned so that the cables supplied with the
card cages (l = 40 cm) can be used for wiring the module bus (this is essential).
● Extending the module bus cable is not permitted.
● A maximum of 4 card cages may be connected per module bus.
