12.2.1.7 Block Description
COMMAND MIXER
This unit mixes the on/off and changeover commands from the different sources (remote con-
trol front panel or slave front panel direct input).
TX UART
Converts parallel data to 2-bytes serial messages. The protocol is start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, odd parity.
RX UART
Converts serial data from remote control to parallel data (2 bytes).
MESSAGE DETECTOR
Messages are accepted only if two equal messages are received in sequence. If so, the data
output is updated and a new-message pulse is asserted.
NEW MESSAGE TIMER
Checks that an OK message and carrier detect is present. Missing message or no carrier
detect for 2 seconds or more gives timeout.
LED & BUZZER FILTER
Data from the MB is filtered according to the following descriptions:
Missing data from MB sets an alarm condition.
Activating SILENCE-key turns on all LED’s (lamptest).
Interlock turns off all LEDs.
Buzzers are activated at transitions from normal to alarm. Lamptest always activates buzzers.
Pressing SILENCE-key deactivates the local buzzer. The remote control SILCENCE-key may
deactivate the slave panel buzzer (configurable).
12.2.2 Remote Frame Assembly - RFA1353
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RFA1353 remote frame assembly is a subrack which can fit a maximum of five
RCA1240A remote control assemblies. The remote frame assembly is 19’’ wide and three
units high. It contains a power supply PS635B, a motherboard MB1347A and one mother-
board MB1346A for each RCA1240A.
Power to the remote frame assembly is supplied via connector P2 on MB1347 (GND on pin1,
24V on pin3). Power to each remote control is supplied from connector P3 on MB1347A.
The power supply PS635B is connected to MB1347A. PS 635B is built around a switch-mode
DC/DC converter module (Eripower PKA 2212). The unit features shutdown for low input volt-
age, and current limiting on outputs ( short circuit proof). Inputs are protected by fuses.
MB 1346A is a motherboard for RCA 1240A/B. It has the following connectors:
J1 Backplane connector for RCA1240
J2 RS-232 connector for use with external
line modems, radio modems or fibre
optic connections (alternative to P9 line
connection).
