Ensemble Designs 5420 SD Logo Inserter - Manual (Page 6)

INSTALLATION
Plug the 5420 module into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame and install the
plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated
with the module location. Note that the plastic overlay has an optional adhesive backing
for securing it to the frame. Use of the adhesive backing is only necessary if you would
like the location to be permanent and is not recommended if you need to change module
locations. This module may be hot-swapped (inserted or removed) without powering down
or disturbing performance of the other modules in the system.
CABLING
Refer to the 3 RU and 1 RU backplane diagrams of the module on the following page for
cabling instructions. Note that unless stated otherwise, the 1 RU cabling explanations are
identical to those given in the 3 RU diagram.
Control Devices
In addition to GPI access through the control system, the module provides eight GPI input
contact closures and control from a dedicated serial port both accessible through the
15-pin D Control connector on the corresponding rear slot of the frame.
Three types of devices can control the eight GPI inputs to the 5420 module; the Avenue
5815 GPI Control Panel, a customer-supplied GPI device and an external device (such as a
PC) using a Serial port connection. Connection of the 5815 GPI Control Panel and the GPI
device to the 5420 module and the cable pinouts for each application are given in the next
sections. Refer to Appendix A for the details for connecting an external device such as a
PC, including the serial protocol.
