The “RUB1 H1” Frame
The
RUB1 H1
mount frame was designed to house up to four rear loading RUB1 modules in
1RU space. The connectors for inputs and outputs are a standard part of the module. There is
a uniform front which offers a see-through window for four status LED’s and cut-outs for 4
keys and an identification button for each module.
The slots within a frame only differ by their individual, hard wired address (1 to 4). The
internal “TC-link” interface enables communication between modules. All slots have this
interface connected. Each slot is connected to an operating voltage line which distributes
the power either from any power supply module plugged to this chassis or from the 24V
pin at the RLC connector.
The
PC
connector at the rear enables access to the modules at addresses 1 to 4. PC
programs for configuration and status monitor are available.
The
RLC
connector at the rear of the frame offers a link to modules located in other
frames (via “TC_link”). The “FAIL” signals at this connector can be used for error
detection: If a total failure occurs in any module in one frame the “FAIL” contacts of this
frame’s relay will close. Furthermore, a 24V pin enables operation without a power supply
module by connecting external power. It is also possible to supply power from any internal
power supply module to another frame via this RLC connector.
