Introduction High-Power TWTA Satellite Terminals
1–10 Rev. 1
1.2.4 High-Power Controller (HPC)
The optional HPCs are indoor rack-mounted units used to monitor and control the status
of the TWTA units in the HPCST–5000/–7000, and HPKST–12000 high-power satellite
terminal systems.
1.2.4.1 HPC-1200
The HPC-1200 (Figure 1-7) is specifically designed to monitor and control a TWTA in a
single thread configuration. Refer to Figure Chapter 1-4 for a description of the HPC-
1200.

Component Description
EFData Part No. RF/XCT-100
Connector 25-Pin D output connector for integration with other M&C elements.
Local Control Can provide local control at the HPC site, or control from a remote site through
a remote interface to the HPC.
This is a manual selection at the HPC site.
Front Panel The front panel provides control switches and indicators, a rear panel of
discrete interface connections for the TWTA, and a remote interface control
connector.
