Input resistance is nonlinear and approximately 4 k
Ω at 3.5 Vdc and 3 kΩ at 20 Vdc. IRIG signal
connections are made at terminals D1 (IRIG+) and D2 (IRIG–).
Memory Circuits
The DECS-400 has three types of memory circuits: flash memory, random access memory (RAM), and
electrically-erasable, programmable, read-only memory (EEPROM). Flash memory is nonvolatile and
retains the operating software (firmware). RAM is volatile and serves as temporary storage for data.
EEPROM is nonvolatile and stores DECS-400 settings.
Digital to Analog Converter
Digital input data from the digital signal processor (DSP) is converted by the digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) into analog signals for controlling the excitation level. Output data from the DAC may be either a
voltage signal or current signal. Signal selection is made through BESTCOMS or the front panel HMI.
A second pair of DACs supply metering signals to the DECS-400 meter driver output terminals.
Control Output Circuits
Analog signals from the DAC are output to switches controlled by the DSP. There are three control signal
options. A control signal over the range of 0 to 10 Vdc, –10 to 10 Vdc, or 4 to 20 mAdc may be selected.
Control signal selection is made through BESTCOMS or the front panel HMI.
Meter Driver Circuits
Two analog signals from a second DAC are output from the microprocessor. A meter driver signal over
the range of 4 to 20 mAdc may be configured to represent one of the DECS-400 metered values. Each
driver circuit can be configured for a different metered value and configured to represent a specific range
of the metered value. The parameters available for metering are listed below:
