Electronics Module
Back-Plane Board
The Back-plane Board is used to interconnect all of the plug-in electronic boards and
distribute power. The Microprocessor Board, the Digital Control Board, and the
IEEE-488 Interface all plug into the Back-plane Board. The Front Panel communicates
with the Microprocessor Board via cables. The Sensor Board communicates with the
Microprocessor board through an internal RS-485 serial communication bus.
Microprocessor Board
All of the PPI’s software resides in nonvolatile, programmable, read-only memory (Flash
EPROM) on the Microprocessor Board, which plugs directly into the Back-plane Board.
This software contains all of the instructions that operate the PPI, as well as the
conversion factors that the PPI uses to translate the internal pressure unit-of-measure of
kPa into the units selected by the user. These factors are given in Table 2-1.
Data that is subject to change after the PPI leaves the factory are held in electrically
erasable, programmable, read-only memory (EEPROM). This includes the current units
of measure, the coefficients from the zeroing process, the current pressure medium,
calibration coefficients, and the conversion factors for the four user-defined units of
measure.
When the PPI powers up, its software is loaded into random access memory (RAM), also
on the Microprocessor Board. At the same time, the values stored in EEPROM Board are
restored to memory.
Another important component on the Microprocessor Board is the lithium battery. The
battery continuously updates the PPI’s date and time, even when the unit is powered
down. This battery has a varying life. If the instrument is left on 24 hours a day, it may
last 5 to 10 years. If the instrument is stored, it may only last one year.
The Microprocessor Board also supports the RS-232 serial interface that allows the user’s
computer to communicate with the PPI.
