1.1 Unit Descriptions
SC-12 units work together to provide both operator interface and output control
of the vehicle hardware. The following are descriptions for each of the basic
units.
The
Master Control Box
provides the primary
interface for the operators. It includes a full-color
character LCD display menu along with toggle
switches that together define the striping patterns
and operation.
A truck must have one Master Control Box at
minimum, but may have several depending on the
configuration of the vehicle.
The
Core Skipper
is the central computer for skip
patterns. Most system inputs and outputs also occur
here. The Core Skipper can have up to 8 pulse input
channels.
The
HUB
distributes both control signals and
filtered, clean +12V power to devices on the system.
Diagnostic LEDs assist in troubleshooting wiring and
device problems. A system must have at least one
front and one rear hub. If necessary, mid-hubs are
available for system expansion or wiring
convenience.
