4. General Information
The devices of which the SCM-TLC system consists are all made in 19" 2U rack
containers, with the exception of the TLC300, which is 19" 1U size.
Entirely assembled with modules fitted on the base of the device and connected with
snap-in fitting connectors, they are easily removed, substituted and added.
On the front panel is a clear graphical user interface which allows you to read and set
the operating parameters; the entire system can be controlled using a simple knob
(encoder).
On the front panel there is also a set of LEDs, again depending on the preset
configuration, which show system status at a glance.
On the rear panel are all of the connectors to be used for connecting the device to the
various station components.
The SCM-TLC automatic change over and telemetry system and relative management
software were designed to solve all of those problems arising from the management
of radio stations located in areas that are not easily reached or which would require
a significant amount of time for the operator to reach.
The system has the following main functions:
• management of several radio stations by remote connection with a data-phone
modem;
•
telemetrization of all operating parameters of the devices present in each station;
•
storage in the memory of events which caused faults;
•
automatic change over in "1+1" or "N+1" radio transmission systems.
This system allows remote management of the radio station, allowing the operator to
intervene immediately in the event of a fault.
The great flexibility of the SCM-TLC system allows an increase in the number of
devices controlled or modification of the station layout at any time, without
necessitating radical changes in the management system, but simply adding
expansion cards which allow an increase in the number of operating parameters that
can be managed.
The SCM-TLC system was designed to operate at its best with all R.V.R. devices,
but can also function with devices not made by R.V.R., provided that they make the
main operating parameters available externally by means of analog signals with values
between 0 and +5V.
The management software has a user friendly interface and can be managed using
any personal computer with the WINDOWS™ environment.
