The “RUB1 Q1” Frame
The
RUB1 Q1
is a rack mount frame in 19”/1RU space with an 8-digit display.
Chassis
The
RUB1 Q1
mount frame was designed to house up to two additional rear loading RUB1
modules in 1RU space. The connectors for inputs and outputs are a standard part of each
module. There is a uniform front for these modules which offers a see-through window for
four status LED’s and cut-outs for four keys and an identification button for each module.
The two slots are assigned to the hard wired addresses 3 and 4 of the frame. Any
configurable module can send data to the display via internal “TC-link” interface. Display
and modules receive power via internal connection. The DC operating voltage can be
supplied at the RLC connector or by a power supply module plugged into this chassis.
The
PC
connector enables access to modules at addresses 3 and 4. PC programs for
configuration and status monitor are available.
The
RLC
connector at the rear of the frame combines the “TC_link” interface (which
enables communication to modules located in further chassis), the “FAIL” signal used for
error detection (a total failure of any module in the frame leads to a contact closure), and
the “24 VDC” operating voltage input or output.
