3.5 External Interlocks Interface
The External Interlocks Interface allows the user to connect the CHPA to external safety
interlocks; this interface features two signals: External Interlock Non-Latching and External
Interlock Latching. External Interlock Non-Latching is RF Inhibit; this command is always
executed. External Interlock Latching is a user-induced fault and, unlike other faults, is not
recycled. These commands are executed by opening the command pin from its return.
The CHPA External Interlocks Interface is located at connector J8 on the rear panel of the
CHPA. It is a 9-pin D-type connector, with pin assignments as shown in Table 3-4.
