2.1.4 System Interfaces
The CP382 provides interfacing capability for the following system elements:
• Front Panel connector
• CompactPCI bus
Digital outputs, external voltage, and external reset are routed via the CON2 connector. Inter-
facing to the CompactPCI bus is accomplished via the CON1 connector. Test and program de-
velopment is supported by the CON3 connector.
External supply each Cluster:
The connection for the external supply (+24V DC [9.5V to 35V] each cluster) is realized by re-
served/ defined pins within each cluster at the front panel connector CON2.
External reset for each cluster:
The digital outputs will be brought to zero output level on power-up. In addition to the reset by
software, the reset-lines (one each cluster) are routed to the front panel.
2.1.5 Monitor and Control
Various monitor and control functions are available for the operation of the CP382. Two LED’s
are available for operator interaction. There are also system failure indicators available. In ad-
dition, applications have access via the System Master driver software to board specific regis-
ters.
2.1.6 Software
Driver software is available for the System Master application software.
Important...
In addition to supplying the current for the logic parts of the power switches
which are linked to the digital outputs, the external voltage supplies also have to
supply the current for the 8 digital output loads per cluster.
