and the current mode of operation, the station control decides if a changeover/shutdown
should occur. The station control unit also receives user/state inputs from remote control
(example: Interlock) and the RMM system (example: Warning lamp outputs). Configuration
selections on the TC1216A board also affects the operation of the station control.
Figure 8-4 TCA1218A/B Block Diagram
The transmitter control assembly, TCA1218A/B consists of the transmitter control (TC) mod-
ule TC1216A and the local control (LC) front panel LC1217A/B (the B-version is a front panel
designed for hot standby configuration). See Figure 8-4.
The main functions of the TCA1218A/B are performed by the station control (SC) part of the
transmitter control (TC). The SC takes care of the normal operating tasks like turning transmit-
ters on/off bases on various inputs that may affect the transmitter status. The SC also has a
RMS interface enabling the RMM system to read the status of the SC and to illuminate warn-
ing lamps etc.
The terminator (TRM) part of the TC takes over and shuts the ILS down if the SC is not able to
operate as expected. The TRM shut down the power to the transmitters approximately 1 sec-
