4.8.8 TC12 Adaptor Board
This board allows the reuse of the TC12 to controller UTC interface cabling. It has been
developed to reduce the installation time of Stratos Outstations where a TC12 OTU is
being replaced.
This is of particularly benefit where a 3
rd
party controller is involved or there is no
enhanced serial link.
To Gain the Maximum advantage it is essential that a few basic rules are followed:
•
The Bit pattern of the Gemini must be the same as that of the TC12.
•
The TC12 word cables should be treated carefully and not disconnected from the
controller.
If the TC12 is also used for the controllers lamp monitoring do not use this
solution, unless the Customer is prepared to loose the lamp monitoring
facility.
If a TC12 interface is required, the TC12 Adaptor board should be mounted in the same
manner as an I/O board as shown in Figure 16. It should always be the last board in the
stack and connected to the adjacent I/O board using the two 50way IDC ribbon cable
assemblies provided.
