1 Maintenance Controller Extended (MTCX)
The MTCX controller (FPGA processor) is located on the mainboard (part of every system unit) of PPC2100 and
APC2100 devices.
The MTCX is responsible for the following monitoring and control functions:
•
Power on (power OK sequencing) and power failure logic
•
Watchdog handling (NMI and reset handling)
•
Temperature monitoring
•
Fan control
•
Key and LED handling/coordination (matrix keyboard on B&R panels)
•
Advanced desktop operation (keys, USB redirection)
•
Daisy chain display operation (touch screen, USB redirection)
•
Panel locking mechanism (configurable using B&R Control Center - ADI driver)
•
Backlight control for connected B&R displays
•
Statistical data recording (power cycles - records every switch-on, power on and fan hour at 15-minute
intervals)
•
SDL data transfer (display, matrix keyboard, touch screen, service data, USB)
•
LED status indicators (Power, HDD, Link, Run)
•
Optimal default BIOS settings are reported to BIOS by the MTCX based on the actual hardware.
Extended MTCX functions are available by upgrading its firmware
