duration of next 32 parameters, meaning that 32 parameter without alarm/error must be
received in sequence before the alarm output is reset.
MON.2 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION
Same as for MON.1 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION, but for MON2 SC alarm bus.
VOTING
This block provides monitor alarm (VALARM) to the NMP105A depending on jumper configu-
ration (1 of 2 or 2 of 2 voting) in the CONFIG block and inputs from the two MO 1212A moni-
tors (not including standby monitor). When configured for 2 of 2 voting, both MO 1212A
monitors must give alarm to set the VALARM output. When configured for 1of 2 voting, alarm
from one of the two MO 1212A monitors is sufficient to set VALARM.
STB ALARM DETECTION
Alarm flag for any parameter sets the alarm immediately. The alarm will be reset when 32
parameters are received in sequence with no alarm flag set.
PUSHBUTTON ONESHOTS
To prevent locking up of push button keyboard signals, this block translates the input signals
from the switches on LC1217A from levels (high or low) to pulse stream.
9.1.3.2 NMP105A Station Control Event Detection
General Description:
NMP105A is a FPGA within the STATION CONTROL BLOCK. It serves as an event detection
and control unit. The NMP105A also includes the station control RMS-interface. The event
information is output to the station control state machine controller NMP106A. NMP105A is
based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 datasheet.
Block Diagram:
See figure Figure 9-3
Block Description:
RMS INTERFACE
The RMS interface provides interface to the RMS BUS
LAMP STATUS GENERATION
This block generates lamp status information for the LOCAL CONTROL and REMOTE CON-
TROL IF blocs.
RMS LEVEL DETECT
This block decodes RMS access levels 2 and 3 using access configuration in CONFIG block,
write disable switchlock information from LOCAL CONTROL, access grant from Remote Con-
trol IF and access requests from the RMS.
EVENT DETECT
The event detect unit checks for valid events (for example key press, alarm interlock etc.), and
sends valid event number to the station control state machine controller NMP106A. Events
not valid for the current mode of operation are ignored. Events are given priorities with inter-
lock as the highest priority. The alarm event has the next priority, while the other events are
