System Operation
The system diagram on the next page shows PCs connected to
the network via PCLTA Modules. The local PC connects
directly to the network. The remote PC connects via a pair of
EXB Network Extender Modules.
The CIB Comparator Interface Modules mount near the
comparator, and control and monitor up to 8 receivers each.
They pass the Vote, Receive, Disable, and Fail indications
from the voting comparator to the MCN network. The receiver
data is passed over the network to the PCs.
The Force Vote and Disable control commands are sent from
the PC through the MCN network to the CIB modules.
The CIB modules accept Force Vote and Disable commands
from the network and generate the Force Vote and Disable
outputs to the comparator.
Dial-Up Applications
Since the PCLTA card has a direct network connection, it does
not support dial-up control of a remote system. Dial-up
monitoring and control can be done with the MCN Remote
Comparator Display software, a HIB module, and a modem.
HIB modules and PCLTA modules can be mixed in one
system.
Alternate Network Interfaces
CTI Products has other MCN network interfaces for various
applications:
•
HIB-232 Network interface for local connection using
RS-232, or remote connection using dial-up or leased-
line analog phone lines.
•
HIB-IP Remote Network Interface module that
connects over an IP network.
