Function Boards
This Chapter describes the relevant points for handling the function boards for the System
6842 GPS Slim Line.
6.1 General
Certain points should be noted when handling Function Boards:
Electrical Properties
The System and Function Boards do
not
support
hot plug
.
If it is necessary to exchange a board the System
must
be switched off first.
Otherwise the System or Function Board could be damaged.
Power Supply
All Function Boards are powered by the operating voltage via the internal System bus.
Mechanics
Function Boards with front panel mechanics adapted for the 1U-System are required for
installation.
Configuration
In principle there are two board types:
•
Boards which are configured via DIP switches and jumpers only
(the board must be configured prior to installation)
•
Boards which are configured via the System 6842 menu (and DIP switches or
jumpers), (the base configuration of the board must be set prior to installation; the
other settings are then carried out via the System 6842 GPS menu).
Factory Pre-wired Slots
In addition, some Function Boards require system-internal wiring in order to achieve the
desired functionality. Where boards are to be delivered with this wiring integrated into the
System the wiring is carried out in the factory.
The details of slots which are wired at the time of delivery can be found in the
System drawing / specifications.
