Control for the router is provided by an internal daughter card. Optionally a second
control card can be fitted thereby providing a back-up controller should the primary
card fail.
Freeway's
control system offers extensive facilities, supporting up to 32
panels or under monitor displays. Panel types may be XY, button-per-crosspoint or
multibus. Internal database editing functions provide extensive system configuration
options including; programmable salvos, source and destination associations,
marrying, route protects and inhibits, audio channel configurations and overrides.
Up to 8 levels of
Freeway
routing may be slaved to the main frame by means of a
parallel control link. A special version of this parallel link is also available to slave
existing TM Series routers. Extensive details of the
Freeway
control system (and how
to edit the internal database information) are given in Chapters 4, 5 and 6.

By utilising advanced PSU circuit topology and the latest signal switching
technologies,
Freeway
offers a very compact router with low power dissipation,
ensuring ‘fit and forget’ reliability. For extra security, each frame has provision for
redundant PSU modules, providing a main and backup architecture in the event of a
PSU failure. The high-speed converter technology in the PSU is monitored by two on-
board microprocessors that assess the condition of the mains and of the supplies
leaving the power unit. Should any of the PSUs ‘vital-signs’ show a warning condition
these are monitored and, if appropriate, an external warning alarm may be activated.
Freeway
PSUs may be withdrawn from the unit from the front and a replacement
‘hot-plugged’; thereby ensuring continuous service. For details, see Chapter 3.
