DESCRIPTION
The following is a description of the faceplate LEDs, field termination
connectors, and electrical characteristics of the field connections.
2.1 Mechanical Description
The Processor module is a printed circuit board assembly that plugs
into the backplane of the DCS 5000/AutoMax rack. It consists of the
printed circuit board, a faceplate, and a protective enclosure. The
faceplate contains tabs at the top and bottom to simplify removing
the module from the rack. On the back of the module are two edge
connectors that connect to the system backplane. Module
dimensions are listed in Appendix A.
The faceplate of the Processor module contains two
independentlyĆisolated 25Ćpin D" shell connectors for RSĆ232C serial
I/O links. The upper port (labeled PROGRAMMER/PORT B") of the
leftmost Processor in the rack is reserved for connection to the
personal computer only. The personal computer can communicate
with all Processors in the rack through this connection.
All remaining Processor module ports (both those labeled
PROGRAMMER/PORT B" and PORT A") are available for use by
application tasks running on the respective Processors. Refer to
figure 2.1 for the Processor module faceplate and Appendix C for a
pin description.
