inputs
•
Vital CPU for overall system monitoring, control, diagnostics and data
recording
•
Executive and application logic for vital interlocking functions
•
Executive and application logic for non-vital control Panel & Operator
VDU functions
•
Serial I/O channels for communicating with MLK II to MLK II, MLK II to
CAB/ Other Non-Vital application, Maintenance and Diagnostic function
