Figure 5-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the transmitter control system. The left
side of the diagram shows the external connections to the transmitter or more
specifically the External I/O Board. The right side of the diagram shows the internal
control system inter-connections from the Main Controller to the various sub-systems
inside the transmitter cabinet.
NOTE:
eCDi™ is an Transmitter Network Interface appliance that provides a complete
comprehensive remote control and monitoring of every data point within the
transmitter. It includes an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager,
and allows integration with most Control Systems via the Internet or LAN.
5.2.1 Micro Module
The control board in the transmitter uses the 376 Micro Module. The micro module is a
daughter board with a standardized interface which is plugged into a motherboard. It
contains Flash memory for storage of its programming and SRAM for program
execution. The programming in the flash memory can be re-programmed or upgraded
using In-System Programming or ISP (no hardware needs to be changed) via serial
connection. In general the micro modules are responsible for control, monitoring and
reporting, but have very little to do with transmitter protection which is handled mainly
by the CPLDs.
