Step Operation
1 Determine the number of networks required.
With PC Display, typically only 1 network will be used, so that the PC can see all the comparators.
If you are using ASTRO-TAC comparators and Logic I/O (AIBs and IIBs) exclusively, they can be
configured as multiple stand-alone networks.
Contact a systems engineer from CTI Products, Inc. at (513) 595-5900 if you have any of the
following systems:
•
Remotely located (> 4000 ft.) comparators
•
Multiple PC Displays and one or more remotely located comparators
•
Sub-Comparators
•
Greater than 20 total CIBs plus AIBs
•
Greater than 64 total modules (CIBs, AIBs, HIBs, IIBs)
•
Transmitter Steering (TSAM) Units and TIB modules
For each network, do the steps 2 through 20.
2 AIB ASTRO-TAC Interface Modules and cables:
Count the number of AIB ASTRO-TAC Interface Modules to order. If you do not have ASTRO-
TAC comparators, skip to step 3:
CDN6119 AIB ASTRO-TAC Interface Module Qty: _________
Order the same quantity of AIB to ASTRO-TAC serial cables:
CDN6131
AIB to ASTRO-TAC cable (10 ft.) Qty: _________
Order these items from Motorola.
3 IIB Logic I/O Interface Modules:
If you need logic I/O to connect to the I/O lines of a console, calculate the number of IIB
Input/Output Modules required. If you want to use only PC display, skip ahead to step 4.
IIBs monitor and control ASTRO-TAC ports in banks of 8. You will need 1 or 2 IIBs per AIB. An
IIB can also monitor one CIB module. See IIB Considerations section for more details.
Count the number of IIBs required for all channels and order that quantity of IIBs:
S2-60433
Input/Output Interface Module (IIB) Qty: _________
4 CIB Comparator Interface Modules:
Calculate the number of CIB Modules to order. You will need CIB modules for DIGITAC, Spectra-
TAC, and TAC comparators and Ericsson / GE analog voters. If you do not have these type of
comparators, skip to step 5.
Enter the number of CIBs required for each comparator type and order the total quantity:
CIBs for DIGITAC _________
CIB for Spectra-TAC _________
CIBs for TAC _________
CIBs for Ericsson / GE analog voters _________
S2-60442 Comparator Interface Module (CIB) Total Qty: _________
