4.3.5.3
Life Support Mode, Main Controller
The CPLD handles most of the inputs and outputs or I/O to the Main Controller. It also
allows the CPLD to be able to maintain the transmitter on the air in a limited protection
mode called "Life Support" in case the micro module fails. In this mode, the main
function of the CPLD is to monitor the primary transmitter control and status lines and
interface the front panel controls (ON/OFF, Raise/Lower, Remote Enable/Disable) to
the rest of the transmitter.
In Life Support Mode, there is also limited remote control input available from the
External I/O Board via J11 on the Main Controller, including:
•
Remote ON and OFF
•
Remote Drive Chain Select
•
Remote Pump Select
•
Remote Raise and Lower
•
External Interlock
Transmitter power will be controlled by the analog ALC (Automatic Level Control)
voltage sent over a discrete line on the System Control Cable to all of the PA modules
(normally the ALC value is sent over the CAN bus to control transmitter power).
4.3.5.3.3 Manual Switching
There are 3 momentary switches on the Main Controller board, 2 of which are primarily
for use in a life support mode when the micro module has failed and the GUI is
therefore not available. These switches are for:
•
Micro RESET, S2
•
RF SEL, S4 - Not used in Atlas Analogue transmitter
•
Pump Select, S5. This switch is labeled PUMP SEL. This will select the
alternate coolant pump in the pump module.
These switches can be used at any time to reset the microprocessor or switch to the
alternate coolant pump, but are meant for use during a life support mode when the GUI is
not operational. Note the corresponding LED will illuminate for the pump selected.
Under normal operating conditions, the GUI or a remote control should be used to switch
pumps. Also keep in mind that pump switching is an automatic function should there be
a loss of coolant flow.
