Cards (maximum 24 per frame)
The Densité 3+ FR4 housing frame supports all current Densité 3 series cards directly. Many
Densité 2 series cards can also be installed with the use of an adapter that fits on the card, plus
an additional adapter to extend the rear panel if a dedicated 3RU rear is not available..
Overview - Controller
The CPU-ETH3 controller installed in the Densité 3+ FR4 frame supports all on-frame communi-
cation between cards, and incorporates a touch-screen panel for local control and adjustment of
the frame and installed cards. The CPU-ETH3 controller serves as the communications port for
control and alarm information entering and leaving the frame. The CPU-ETH3 controller features
two Ethernet ports for system-wide monitoring and control of the frame, using Miranda’s
control solutions. This controller card is compatible with the TCP/IP protocol and can support
polling or report on error modes (unsolicited messaging).
