ALC - Automatic Level Control. The ALC signal is used to control the trans-
mitter power output and is normally sent digitally over the CAN bus. This
line carries a voltage from the Main Controller to the PA Modules which is an
analogue version of the digital ALC signal sent over the CAN bus. It is a
backup signal only used by the modules if the CAN bus fails and the modules
lose communication with the Main Controller. If the CAN bus is operational,
this signal is not used.

Main Controller
The Main Controller is the primary interface between the transmitter and the
operator via the front panel Graphical User Interface or GUI. It is connected to all
transmitter subsystems, both internal and external to the transmitter, through either
an RS-232 serial port or the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus and dedicated
parallel control lines. The CAN bus and the parallel control lines are distributed on a
single multi-conductor cable called the System Control Bus.
The Main Controller is mounted directly behind the front control panel. It is directly
connected to the front panel switchboard which is considered a "Mezzanine" board.
The front panel switchboard uses a CPLD to serialise the I/O (the control lines and
status signals) to and from the Main Controller.
4.3.5.1
Transmitter Control
The Main Controller is the central point for all system control, metering and
diagnostics. It reports this information to the operator via the Graphical User
Interface or GUI and through several remote control options.
4.3.5.1.1 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The GUI is a touchscreen LCD display which is equivalent to 1/4 of a VGA display.
This is the primary local interface for the operator but is not required to operate the
transmitter. The primary operator controls, ON, OFF, Raise, Lower are located on
the front panel next to the GUI. Operation and navigation of the GUI is covered in
Section 3 of this manual.
