application of supplies.
VIEWED/PRINTED:
Do not block the fan or vents on the Master Control Unit (MCU).
This may cause the unit to overheat and shutdown. Installation
! clearance should be a minimum of 3 to 5 inches (76 to 127 mm).
Allow system temperature to stabilize before use. When the sys-

! tem is exposed to an extreme temperature change (heat or
cold), allow it to stabilize to room temperature before servicing.
Use only accessories and options designed specifically for the

! Spectris MR System. To ensure compatibility and proper opera-

tion, do not use an accessory or option designed for another
system with the Spectris MR System.
Perform regular preventive maintenance. To ensure that your

! Spectris MR System remains properly calibrated, and that all
primary and backup circuits are functioning properly, regular
preventive maintenance is recommended. An annual preventive
maintenance package (offered in the U.S.A., Canada, and
Europe) is available at an additional cost. Contact your local
Medrad Factory Service Representative for details.
Do not soak or immerse any part of the injection system in

! water. Improper or careless cleaning methods may result in
equipment damage. While cleaning any outside portion of the
system, avoid allowing any water to seep inside system
components.
Ferro-magnetic tools and components should not be handled in

! the magnet room. Remove the HCU from the magnet room
before attempting to service or replace the motor assemblies.
Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
Do not place the HCU in a magnetic field greater than 800

Gauss, within 1 meter of the magnet. The HCU may pressure

Maintenance General maintenance of the Spectris MR injection system should con-

sist of four primary procedures: Inspection, cleaning, electrical leakage
and ground continuity checks, and operational checkout. This section
contains guidelines and recommended methods for each of these pro-

cedures:
1. Inspection: This first step should encompass inspection of the entire

system, looking for obvious signs of damage, such as; cracks in the
housings, frayed or worn cables, missing or damaged labeling, and
contrast spills which have leaked into the system.
2. Cleaning: This procedure involves the thorough cleaning of all sys-

tem components to remove any deposits of contrast medium. If any
substances have leaked into any part of the system, the subassem-
bly should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned.
3. Electrical Leakage / Ground Continuity Checks: To ensure the

safety of the patient and hospital personnel in injection system
operations.
4. Operational Checkout: A complete functional performance checkout

of the injection system.

electrical transient that disrupted the system. Try the following:
• Remove and re-apply power to the DCU. This will trigger a

self-test that will attempt to verify proper unit operation. If the
problem is corrected, there was probably a voltage transient
in the unit, which is now cleared, enabling use of the system.
• If the problem continues, replace the MCU CPU card.

• If the problem continues, replace the DCU CPU card.
NOTE: If through the troubleshooting process, it is determined

that removal or replacement of the HCU CPU card is
required, complete re-calibration of the pressure con-

Display Control Unit
Spectris MR Service Manual
Theory of Operation
Display The Display Control Unit (DCU) is the main point of operator data entry
and display. It consists of the LCD display panel, touch overlay, keypad
Control overlay, DCU CPU card, DCU interface card, LCD / Touch Screen, and
Unit an optional handheld illuminated startswitch.
The DCU’s function is to allow the operator to: program, confirm start,
hold, stop, or disarm an injection; configure the operation of the injec-
tor; display injector status; and view and respond to feedback. The
operator may use either the touch screen, overlay keypad, or illumi-
nated start switch to input commands. The LCD panel displays the
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
input screens, and injector feedback information.

VIEWED/PRINTED:
The DCU performs these main functions:

• Process keypad inputs
• Process analog screen coordinates from the touch screen
• Process Handheld startswitch inputs
• Communicate with the MCU
• Display Operator Screen
• Provide a power ON/Standby switch control to the MCU
The DCU interfaces with the MCU via a cable. The cable contains a
serial communications channel, control signals, and power. The com-
munications channel is a 19.2K baud, full duplex RS-422 link. All mes-
sage packets incorporate a CRC to ensure data integrity. The control
signals include a “Key Switch Closure Detect” interrupt, and power
control. The power lines supply the 24 VDC used to power the DCU.
The LCD panel is a VGA compatible 640 x 480 pixel graphic display.
The LCD panel is the operator display device. Information to be dis-
played is sent to the DCU from the MCU. The data from the MCU is
stored in 256K of system RAM. The DCU microprocessor determines
what information is displayed on the screen, selects the proper charac-
ter set, and sends the data to the VGA controller via the data and
address bus. The VGA controller then updates the display image.
The LCD panel is fitted with an analog touch overlay. The microproces-
sor translates screen touches into a set of X-Y coordinates. These
coordinates are transmitted to the MCU, which decodes them and
defines the appropriate action.
The overlay keypad contains the following discrete switches:

• Help
• Contrast Increase
• Contrast Decrease
• Inverse Video
• Start / Hold
The DCU Interface card contains the circuitry to support the LCD and
touch overlay.
5-3
Microprocessor The DCU CPU card is based on a Motorola 68332 microprocessor. It

contains the microprocessor, support logic (memory, drivers, clock,
and control), VGA controller and support circuitry, serial communica-
tions circuitry, power converters and regulators, and I/O support
circuitry.
System Clocks There are three clock drivers on board which supply the four clock
rates necessary to run the DCU. The CPU clock provides the 16.78
Mhz signal for the CPU. It also provides a 32 Khz clock to the VGA
controller. A 25 Mhz and a 43.9 Mhz clock supply timing signals to the
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
VGA controller.
VIEWED/PRINTED:
Memory A 4 MB flash card stores the DCU program (firmware), screen images
(plates), and character sets (English, French, German, etc.). The flash
memory runs in 16-bit mode, and is controlled by chip selects form the
PLA.
The 256K RAM memory stores information form the MCU, and scratch
pad data for the DCU.
The 128 byte EEPROM stores touch overlay calibration data, and the
current language selection.
PLA The PLA controls flash card timing, system timing, and the VGA
controller.
VGA Controller Screen display information, along with character set and display data,
is passed from the CPU (via the data and address busses) to the FGA
controller, which then loads the video RAM. The VGA controller reads
information from the video memory, to continuously update the LCD
image. The video RAM contains an “image” of what is displayed on the
LCD. The VGA controller accesses the video RAM at a rate of 43.9
Mhz. The VGA controller issues a “Ready Signal” to the 68332 via the
PLA when it is valid to send information to the video RAM.
Display Panel
Contrast Control The DCU’s 68332 controls the LCD contrast level in response to key-
pad inputs. The microprocessor writes to an EEPOT, which adjusts the
negative logic voltage to the LCD, through the LCD Logic Control cir-
cuitry. Because the EEPOT is a non-volatile memory device, the DCU
maintains the last adjustment made when power is removed.
Input / Outputs All inputs form the keypad, except the Start/Hold, are decoded by a 4-
row/4-column keyboard encoder, and are then processed by the
68332. The Start/Hold and Illuminated Startswitch are tied directly to
the processor. An A/D converter interfaces touch screen inputs to the
68332. The DCU microprocessor performs initial processing and valid-
ity checks, then informs the MCU via the RS-422 communication link.
Simultaneous to the DCU’s 68332 receiving the input, a key switch clo-
sure signal is sent directly to the MCU via the DCU-MCU interconnect
cable. This signal alerts the MCU that the DCU is processing an input.
5-4
Theory of Operation
A/D Converter The A/D converter converts the analog signals from the touch screen
and system voltage levels, into digital signals which can be read by the
microprocessor. System voltage levels are monitored by the Start-up,
Pre-arm, and other diagnostic routines. Test voltages are applied to the
A/D during diagnostics to ensure that it is functioning within the correct
ranges.
Power Two DC/DC converter circuits convert the 24V power supplied by the
MCU, to +5V and -24V power. The +5V powers the system logic and the
LCD backlight driver. The -24V is the negative logic voltage, adjusted by
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
the EEPOT, that powers the LCD.

VIEWED/PRINTED:
Speaker The speaker driver circuitry is driven by a PWM signal from the 68332, to
generate the different levels of volume and pitch used to provide audible
feedback to the user.
Diagnostic LEDs The service diagnostic LEDs are mounted on the DCU CPU board, and
are driven directly by the microprocessor. The light on the external start
switch is powered by the arm light drive signal, which is also controlled
directly by the 68332. The external start switch, touch screen, and key-
board encoder each have hardware driven LEDs to indicate electrical
operation. This allows technical personnel to verify the integrity of these

devices cable interconnections.
Touch Screen
Interface The touch screen driver circuit is controlled by the 68332. The analog
signal from the touch screen is feedback to the microprocessor via the
interconnect card, and to the A/D converter. This circuit digitizes X and Y
DC voltage levels from the touch screen. A comparator circuit detects
touch screen activity, and interrupts the 68332 to begin processing the
touch screen signal.
The touch screen can be thought of as two plates, one on top of the
other. The bottom plate electrically controls the X and Y DC voltage lev-
els. The top plate sums both together into one analog voltage signal,
which represents the coordinate of the touch point. To determine the X
and Y DC voltages, a fixed +5 volts is applied to the upper right corner of
the bottom plate, and 0 volts is applied to the lower left corner of the
same plate. The X signal is applied to the upper left corner, and the Y
signal is applied to the lower right corner. The interface circuit automati-
cally performs the following functions:
• The X analog value is derived first, followed by the Y analog value.
• When X is +5 volts and Y is 0 volts, a vertical voltage divider is

formed on the screen. This provides the Y DC level voltage which is
typically between 0.75 and 4.3 volts. At this point, the A/D converts
the TOUCH-S signal, and stores the result in the Y DC level RAM
location. The X and Y signals are then reversed.
5-5
Touch Screen (cont.) • When X is 0 volts and Y is +5 volts, a horizontal voltage divider is
formed on the screen. This provides the X DC level voltage, typi-
cally between 0.75 and 4.3 volts. The A/D conversion is started,
and the result is stored in the X DC level RAM location.
Both digitized values are then evaluated by the software executing in

the 68332 to determine the coordinates of the touch point location. The
conversion of the coordinates is controlled by the QSPI module of the
68332 microprocessor.

Theory of Operation
Head The Head Control Unit (HCU) is the primary scanner room subsystem.
It contains all of the active electronic and electro-mechanical devices
Control which power, drive, and control the Head Stand Unit (HSU).
Unit The HCU performs the following functions:
• Communicating with the MCU via the OTR link
• Monitoring the MCU communications channel

02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
• Controlling power to the motors

VIEWED/PRINTED:
• Providing Servo control of the motors
• Receiving load command inputs from the HSU load keypad
• Monitoring the position of the HSU pistons
• Triggering the “Power Down” mode when the system is not

in immediate use, and restoring “normal” unit power when

required.
The HCU consists of two motors with integral encoders, a receptacle

for the battery pack power source, and four printed circuit boards, out-
lined below:
CPU Card
The CPU card contains the microprocessor and support logic, two
motor controllers, in addition to parallel and serial I/O devices. This
card receives commands from the MCU, controls the motors, and per-
forms diagnostic and monitoring functions.
Auxiliary (AUX) Card

The AUX card interfaces the HCU with the HSU and OTR. It contains
the buffers and drivers for the HSU switches and lights, OTR power,
and RS-422 drivers. The AUX card also contains the safe relay and
battery power control circuits.
Power Card
The Power card contains the H-bridge power drive for the two motors,
battery power circuit, and the safe relay FETs.
Filter Card
This card provides the physical interface and RFI filtering that connects
the OTR and HSU cables to the AUX card.

Microprocessor The HCU is controlled by a Z80 microprocessor, which is driven by a

3.6864 MHz clock driver chip. CMOS circuitry is used for low battery
current draw.
EPROM The system is designed to use a single EPROM device. The socket
can accept 32-pin devices, but presently uses 28-pin 64 Kbyte
devices. The device is segmented into two 32 Kbyte sections. The
upper 32K contains product software, and the lower 32K contains BIT

section, with the default set to address the upper half with product
code. In order to address the BIT portion, a BIT connector must be
installed, and the HCU must undergo a power-up cycle.
UART Interface with the MCU is via the OTR infra-red RS-422 communica-
tions link. The UART transmits and receives data in a half-duplex
mode, at a rate of 9600 baud. This communication link is constantly
monitored. If a valid message from the MCU is not received every sec-
ond, the CPU places the system in the power-down (sleep) mode.
RAM There are two 8Kbyte RAM chips located on the CPU card, with only
one RAM chip utilized at any given time. The system continuously
transfers information from one chip to the other, while performing test-
ing and diagnostic routines (at power-up, and once per injection) on
the unused chip. Chip selection is performed by the CPU.
EEPROM The system is designed with serial EEPROMs for storage of crucial
data (for pressure calibration). Data is written only during BIT mode.
Motor Controllers The system utilizes two motor control processors, one for each motor.
These controllers are programmed by the microprocessor with acceler-
ation, velocity, and position end point data. The controllers then calcu-
late the velocity trajectory profile. The output of the controllers are a
direction, and a 7 KHz pulse width modulated signal. When com-
manded to start, the controllers set the direction logic, monitor position
feedback from the motor encoders, and servo the motors using the
PWM signal to switch the H-bridge drive circuits. To achieve the
required signal level, (converting HMOS to CMOS), 74HCT245 level
converters are used. If the incoming +5V power to the motor control-
lers falls below 1.3 V, the level converters tri-state.
A/D Converter The MAX191 is a 12 bit analog to digital converter used in parallel bus
mode. Inputs to this device are supplied by a 16-channel multiplexer,
located on the power card.

Connectors Two connectors are used by the CPU card:

• One 40-pin connector for test connections

ms, or if the +5V supply drops below 4.37 volts, the proces-
sor is reset.

Theory of Operation
Auxiliary Card
Potentiometers The HSU position potentiometer feedback signals are channeled

through the Auxiliary card to allow the signals to be buffered for noise.
Each potentiometer (one each for plunger A and plunger B) utilizes two
parallel wired wipers. The potentiometer voltage reference (POTREF)
is sent to the injector head pots. The resistive divided voltage is
returned, and sent to the analog multiplexer. The voltage range for 0 to
63 ml is 3.92 to 0.170 volts, respectively.
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
Armed Indicating The HSU armed indicating lamps are driven by the CPU through the
VIEWED/PRINTED:
Lamps Auxiliary card, and are current limited to 100 mA to protect the battery
in the event of a short circuit. The Auxiliary card also contains two
LEDs that are used in troubleshooting; the first of which activates in
conjunction with the illumination of the armed indicating lamps (visible
only by removing the HCU top cover), the second is activated if the
arm indicating lamps enter a current limit state (visible from the outside
of the HCU housing).
Load Switches The HSU load switches (Load and Enable) are channeled through the
Auxiliary card, to be buffered prior to entering the CPU card. An addi-

tional set of buffers is used to detect shorted switches.
Power Controller To conserve system battery usage, there is a provision for removal of
the voltage supply from most HCU circuitry. If communications from
the MCU is halted or interrupted for greater than 1 second, the CPU
uses a logic line to remove power. Once the unit is in this “power down”
or “sleep” mode, re-application of power is initiated by resetting the
HCU, or, when communications are detected on the HCU receive line.
The PDN LED on DS2 flashes to indicate “power down” mode.
ESD Protection ESD protection is provided to clamp transients on analog and digital
lines to the CPU. These devices are utilized on lines that leave the
HCU.
Safe Relay The safe relay control uses a flip-flop to drive the power FET located
on the Power card. To ensure that the flip-flop operates properly if
MCU communication is lost, the flip-flop is controlled by a PIC 16C54
chip that monitors MCU/HCU communications. This PIC chip is a
back-up to the CPU IC, and will disable the flip-flop if communications
are found to be corrupt.
Voltage Supply The main +5V supply is also derived on the Auxiliary card. There is a
+5V switching regulator which takes the switched battery voltage and
converts it to +5V, to supply most HCU ICs.
5 - 12
Theory of Operation
Communications Communications between the MCU and HCU is delivered through the
OTR ports, in an RS-422 format. This is done to reduce noise, and to
drive up to a 100 foot cable distance. An RS-232/422 converter is
located on the Auxiliary card. Supply voltages for the OTR and current
limiting are also supplied through the Auxiliary card. If a shorted OTR
is present, a DS2 LED labeled “OTR” is illuminated. Communications
activity can be monitored by observing the TX and RX LED on DS1.
Connectors The Auxiliary card utilizes three interface connectors:

VIEWED/PRINTED:
H-Bridge The H-Bridges consist of four FETs for each of the two motors. Two FETs
are activated for forward motor movement, two are activated for reverse
motor movement. Signals from the motor controllers (located on the
HCU CPU card) are passed through a gate array, which serves two pri-
mary purposes; to change the signal level, and to suppress the drive
during the power-up sequence. The H-bridges are tested once per injec-
tion by applying a low voltage (read through the A/D converter).
5 - 14
Theory of Operation
Safe Relay Due to the constraints of the highly magnetic MR environment, a

mechanical relay could not be used. The safe relay function is pro-
vided by a power FET that controls voltage to the upper portion of the
H-Bridge. Drive to the FET is provided by the Auxiliary card.
Low Power

power FET. This FET is normally on, and will deactivate if battery volt-
age falls below 9 volts.

returned to the CPU through the A/D converter. The Z80 uses the cur-
rent to calculate resultant syringe pressure. There is a direct correla-
tion between motor current and fluid path pressure. If the motor current
indicates a pressure approaching 300 psi during an injection, or 150
psi during forward load, the speed of the motor is reduced to compen-
sate. This circuit is identical for each motor, A and B.
Overpressure / Motor current is also monitored directly by the hardware, using a com-
Overcurrent Sens- parator circuit. This is a backup to the Z80/software monitoring
ing described above. The current is compared to a preset baseline trip
point, stored in an EEPOT. This baseline is generated by the pressure

calibration BIT routine, and is set to represent approximately 400 psi of
system pressure. This value is set to prevent excessive pressure that
may damage the disposable components. If this trip level is exceeded,
a signal is generated which opens the safe-relay, and then notifies the
Z80 of the shutdown. A second backup system limits the peak current
of the motors to less the 14 amps, in order to protect the 15 amp fused
battery pack.
Test Current To test and verify voltage measurements, internal test currents from a
precision current source can be activated and delivered to sampling
resistors. When these are selected, the operation of the pressure
sensing and overcurrent sensing circuits can be checked.

Master
Control The Master Control Unit (MCU) provides the control and coordination for
the entire Spectris MR Injector system. It is the central hub for all commu-
Unit nications between the subsystems. The MCU is the master subsystem,
with the DCU and HCU slaved to it. The other subsystems report data to
the MCU, which in turn processes the information and commands, or
authorizes the actions of the sub-systems. The MCU provides the primary
diagnostic and monitoring for the Control Room subsystems, and provides
backup monitoring for the HCU.
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
VIEWED/PRINTED:
The MCU performs the following major functions:
• Processes operator input and display information for the DCU

• Stores and retrieves injection program and panel information
• Processes status and input data from the HCU, and authorizes
the HCU to perform requested actions
• Processes commands, and formats data for the Service
Access Port
• Monitors vital system status and communications

• Provides conditioned power to all Control Room components

• Issues power fail indicators to the other subsystems
• Recharges the battery packs used by the HCU.
The MCU consists of a multi-output power supply (+24 VDC, +12 VDC, -
12 VDC, +5 VDC), a battery charger garage, and three printed circuit
cards (Battery Charger/Interface card, MCU CPU card, and MCU
Interconnect card).
Battery Charger / Interface Card

The Battery Charger/Interface card contains the battery charging, the ISI
interface, and power-up circuitry. The battery charger circuitry includes a
battery charger controller, status indicators, current drivers, and voltage
and current sense circuitry to prevent overcharging and damage to the
board or battery. The ISI interface contains the output relays, optically-iso-
lated inputs, and an isolated DC to DC converter to connect to an imaging
scanner. The I/O is not assigned to any function, as there is not software
available to support ISI operation. The power-up circuitry provides power
sequencing and control, to ensure orderly start-up and shut-down of the
system.
MCU CPU Card

The MCU is controlled by a 68332 microprocessor. The MCU CPU card
contains the 68332, microprocessor support circuitry, and serial communi-
cations drivers for the DCU, OTR, Service Port, and Printer interfaces.

Battery Charger and Interface Card

Theory of Operation
Battery Charger The Battery Charger/Interface card includes power distribution, power-
and Interface up circuitry and relays, and external interfacing.
Card
Battery Charger Battery charging is controlled by a UC3906 IC which monitors battery

voltage, determines the charge rate, and determines when charging is
complete. A very low voltage battery begins charging in the trickle
charge mode, to prevent a high rate charge that may damage the bat-
tery. Trickle charge will continue until the voltage level reaches 10.5
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
volts. At this point, the bulk charge mode begins (approximately .75
VIEWED/PRINTED:
amps) and continues until the voltage reaches approximately 14.5

volts. At 14.5 volts, the battery will then maintain a float voltage of
approximately 14.0 volts. This charge circuit is protected by a circuit
breaker, and charge status is monitored by the processor. An indicator
LED on the front of the MCU will illuminate while the battery is being
charged.
A relay is provided that disconnects the battery from all circuitry to pre-
vent discharging when power is not applied.
System
Power-Up
Circuitry Spectris MR system AC power is controlled on the MCU, using a com-
bination ON/Standby switch/circuit breaker. When the switch is in the
ON position, power is supplied to the DCU ON/Standby switch, and
certain circuits on the Battery Charger card. When the DCU ON/
Standby switch is pressed, power is supplied to the remaining compo-
nents through power-up relays.
The DCU ON/Standby switch is a momentary switch. When the user

presses the switch, a low signal is generated. A monostable one-shot
timer guards against switch “bounce” within the switch mechanism, or
from the user’s touch. When the output is stable, a data latch activates
a transistor and pulls two relays closed.
A power failure signal from the logic power supply is available. When
removing power from the system, the signal “#+5VPWRDOWN” is
issued to the CPU 100ms before power is removed, allowing the CPU
to complete required operations, and save pertinent information.
Power Supply Unswitched U +24V, U +5V, U +12V, and U -12V enters the Battery
Charger board when the MCU ON/OFF switch is pressed. After pass-
ing through the power-up relays, these signals become (switched)
+24V, +5V, +12V, and -12V respectively. These voltages are used to
supply the MCU, DCU and the OTR (attached to the MCU).
5 - 19
Interface To interface with the Spectris MR System, an isolated +5V (ISO +5V) is
supplied. This voltage should be used to return voltage back to the
system through customer logic. This ensures that the user cannot
damage the system by applying an input voltage other than that speci-
fied. An isolated DC/DC converter supplies the ISO +5 volts to the user
for external equipment. No ground return path is available.
The signals are protected by either an isolated relay or an optical cou-

pler, and incorporates ESD protection. When a voltage is out of range,
the ESD protection array clamps the voltage.

VIEWED/PRINTED:
The relays can be configured by field service during installation to con-

form to the user’s output requirements. All relays can be connected so
that either the normally-open or normally-closed circuit is available.
The ISO +5V fault in the isolated voltage circuit is sent to the MCU
microprocessor, and a fault LED lights, when there is a fault with the
DC/DC converter.
Derived Supplies The Battery Charger/Interface card derives the following DC supplies:
+5V +12V +24V

ISO +5V -12V

Theory of Operation
CPU Card The MCU CPU card is designed around the Motorola 68332 embed-
ded microprocessor. The CPU has a powerful 32-bit processor and
highly integrated internal peripherals: TPU (time processing unit), QSM
(queued serial module), and SIM (system integration module). The
SIM includes 2K bytes of RAM, and 12 programmable chip selects.
The microprocessor uses fully static high-speed CMOS technology.
The 68332 is driven by a 16.78 MHz clock.
Flash EEPROM Executable instructions are stored in a flash 512 KByte EEPROM card.
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
RAM Two static RAM chips (128K x 16 bits) support the 68332. This mem-
VIEWED/PRINTED:
ory is used to store temporary variables for the executing firmware.

One of the RAM chips functions as a shadow RAM. When a write is
performed on the primary RAM, the data is also entered into the same
location of the shadow RAM. When data is read from the primary RAM,
it is compared, using hardware, to the contents of the shadow RAM. If
the data is not in agreement, an interrupt is generated to inform the
68332 of the error.
PPI The Dallas LS1385-32 chip, with its 32 Kbytes of NVRAM, is used to
store user injection programs, configuration data, panel information,

injection status, and system status. This memory is maintained by an

internal lithium battery, with an estimated shelf-life of ten years.
Accessed by a 68332 chip select, the PPI includes a real-time clock,
which is used to time and date stamp the calibration and service
related data. The accuracy of the clock is better than +/- one minute
per month, at 25 degrees Celsius. A 74HCT240 line transceiver boosts
the PPI output level, to match the 68332’s input requirements.
Connectors Six connectors interface the CPU card:

• one 9-pin to the printer (J116)
• one 9-pin to the service port (J104)
• one 96-pin to the servo card (P100) via the interconnect card
• one 15-pin to the DCU (J101)
• one 15-pin to the OTR (J102)
• one 40-pin for test connection
A/D Converter System voltage levels are monitored using a multiplexed serial A/D
converter. A reference +5 VDC is provided to the converter by compo-
nent REF02. This device converts the MCU’s +12 VDC into a precision
voltage reference, which is used to check the A/D for linearity and
accuracy. The A/D uses the system clock, via a divider, to provide the
required internal timing signals. The 68332 provides the necessary
chip select.

Theory of Operation
Communication The MCU uses two UARTs to communicate with the OTRs, DCU, and
external devices.
The first UART transmits data to the DCU on channel A, and transmits
data to the OTR on channel B. The standard RS-422 driver/receiver
circuits are used to communicate with the devices. This UART also
provides general purpose input and output ports, used to control
external devices.
The second UART transmits and receives driver/receiver combinations

02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
for the printer port. Channel A is assigned to the printer, and channel B
VIEWED/PRINTED:
is unused at this time. The printer signal is fed through a two-port RS-
232 driver/receiver, and supplied by an isolated 5 VDC to reduce leak-
age and interference. The receive signals are optically coupled to the
UART. This circuit uses an isolated ground. Note that signals on chan-
nels A and B are inverted.
Both UARTs are controlled by the same dip can oscillator. The oscilla-
tor generates a frequency of 3.6864MHz. The frequency of the oscilla-
tor determines the baud rate at which information passes to other
components or external devices. The corresponding rate is 19.2 K.
A 15-pin connector interfaces to the OTRs. The signals on these lines

are the receive and transmit data lines that go through the RS-422
driver/receiver circuit. This is fed by the microprocessor data lines.
Reset The power-up/reset circuit represents the standard circuit used on the
DCU.
Thermostats Two board-mounted bi-metal thermostats inform the CPU of an over

temperature condition in the MCU box. TH1 is rated at 50 degrees C,
and TH2 is rated at 60 degrees C.
If an OVRTMP signal is issued by the CPU, and either thermostat is

open (tripped), then the signal “#TEMP-ALARM” is generated. This
signal is forwarded to the Battery Charger/Interface card, which
causes the system to power-down (similar to momentarily depressing
the DCU ON/Standby switch).
The operating firmware monitors each thermostat, makes certain deci-

sions, and displays appropriate messages before issuing the
“OVRTMP” signal.

Optical The Optical Transmitter/Receivers (OTRs) are connected (one each)

to the MCU and the HCU, and provide the infrared link between the
Transmitter Magnet (Scanner) Room and the Control Room.
Receivers
02/04/2005 at 09:36:26.
VIEWED/PRINTED:
Power The OTRs operate on a +12 V supply (suppled by the battery for the
Magnet Room OTR, and the MCU power supply for the MCU OTR).
The 12 V supply is regulated down to +5 V on the OTR card.
Data Transfer Information is received and modulated on a 500 KHz half duplex signal
(to eliminate crossing transmit and receive signals), and transmitted
through an infrared link.
Connectors The OTRs utilize one 10-pin connector each for the interconnection
cable.
