Section 1 Introduction
Maxiva ULX COFDM Series
Each TCU board connected to the CAN bus is considered a node and therefore has a
specific address. This allows the master TCU to use the system bus to gather
information from all parts of the transmitter and display it on the GUI. One big
advantage of the CAN bus is that it requires only 2 wires of the system control bus
ribbon cable, eliminating a large amount of discrete wiring which would otherwise be
required.
The system bus ties TCU’s in each cabinet together. The cabinet bus is for the most part
a duplicate of the system bus but intended to connect nodes within each individual
cabinet. The cabinet bus originates in the MCM module within each TCU. The cabinet
bus is designed to keep the PA cabinets operating even if the communications with the
master cabinet TCU is lost.
1.2.5.1
Software Updates
The use of the CAN bus for communication between the various Micro Modules in the
transmitter also allows updating of the software used in each transmitter sub-system via
a serial port connection to an external computer.
NOTE:
Software does not need to be loaded into the transmitter unless new components
are installed or an update is sent from Harris. The transmitter, as shipped from the
factory, is preloaded and ready to run.
1.2.5.2
Remote Control
The Maxiva Series COFDM transmitter has the basic discrete wired parallel remote
control with the standard connections for control, status and analog monitoring located
on the customer I/O card inside the main TCU (cabinet 1).
Maxiva transmitters include Web enabled remote GUI interface that provides
comprehensive remote control and monitoring of data points within the transmitter. It
includes an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager which allows
integration with most Control Systems via the Internet or LAN.
1.2.6
PA Module
The Maxiva ULX Series PA Module utilizes LDMOS (laterally diffused metal oxide
semi-conductor) amplifiers to produce up to 550 W average power output. Each module
weighs approximately 22kg and can be removed while the transmitter is running. A
single cabinet Maxiva Series transmitter can have 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 16 PA modules
