CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview This chapter gives an overview of the Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI). RCI Features The RCI is a device control interface used for connections of I/O units to an RCI host. In this manual, a base cabinet and an I/O unit that support the RCI are referred to as an RCI host and an RCI I/O unit (Note), respectively.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview • RCI redundancy (only for the high-end system) The eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) unit (Note) of the high-end system has a redundant configuration (duplicated configuration), realizing a high-reliability system. The redundant configuration of the XSCF unit can duplicate a network (RCI network) created by connecting RCI units with RCI cables.
• Facility control Different kinds of facility control are available when the external power controller is connected to the RCI. The external power controller can link with the customer's existing facilities, power on each unit, recognize alarms of each unit, use the operator call function through a contact interface, and perform other such operations.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview RCI Connection Scheme This section outlines RCI connection patterns. • Basic configuration Figure 1.1 shows a connection pattern with an RCI host and RCI I/O units. Figure 1.1 Connections to RCI I/O units RCI host RCI cables are connected in sequence to respective units using T-branch connectors. RCI terminating resistors must be connected to the T-branch connectors at both ends of a set of RCI connections.
• Cluster configuration Figure 1.2 shows a cluster connection pattern. RCI host Up to 32 RCI hosts can be connected. The cluster connection requirements, such as the maximum cable length and the number of connectable RCI I/O units, are the same as the basic configuration requirements.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview Figure 1.4 shows a connection pattern that connects both duplicated and unduplicated configurations. Figure 1.4 Mixture of duplicated and unduplicated configurations RCI host RCI#1 RCI#0 The pattern can contain RCI I/O units and RCI hosts that do not support a duplicated configuration.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation This chapter describes setup information for use of the RCI. Overview of RCI Setup The RCI can be set up as follows. Note: RCI setup as explained in this chapter is carried out by authorized service personnel.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation RCI Setup for Initial Installation This section explains the procedure for initial RCI setup, which assumes RCI settings have not been configured. Note: Perform this work when this system is not using any RCI I/O unit. 2.2.1 RCI setup flow RCI setup for initial installation contains the following steps:...
2.2.3 Connecting RCI cables Connect RCI cables. Connect RCI units in sequence with RCI cables and their T-branch connectors. Connect RCI terminating resistors to the T-branch connectors at both ends of a set of RCI connections. 2.2.4 Making an RCI address setting Specify "000101ff"...
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation Note: To make an RCI construction setting for an RCI unit equipped with a main line switch, set the main line switch to the ON position. • To make an RCI construction setting: Execute the setrci (8) command, and make an RCI construction setting.
2.3.2 Connecting an RCI cable Insert a T-branch connector and an RCI cable into the existing set of connections of RCI cables. Connect the T-branch connector to the RCI I/O unit to be added. 2.3.3 Making an RCI expansion setting The added RCI I/O unit must be connected to the RCI network.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation RCI Setup for Addition of an RCI Base Cabinet 2.4.1 RCI setup flow RCI setup for addition of an RCI host contains the following steps: Confirming RCI initialization Connecting an RCI cable Making an RCI address setting Making an RCI expansion setting 2.4.2...
Connect the T-branch connector to the RCI host to be added. Note: Always do the RCI host. 2.4.4 Making an RCI address setting Specify an RCI addresses in a range of 000102ff to 000120ff for the RCI host to be added.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation 2.4.5 Making an RCI expansion setting The added RCI host must be connected to the RCI network. The RCI address of the added RCI host is synchronized with those of existing RCI hosts so that the added cabinet can use RCI functions.
RCI Setup for Replacement of an RCI I/O Unit 2.5.1 RCI setup flow RCI setup for replacement of an RCI I/O unit contains the following steps: Confirming an RCI address Replacing an RCI I/O Unit Making an RCI replacement setting Note: Perform this RCI setup work for each RCI I/O unit to be replaced.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation Execute the setrci (8) command to display a list of connected RCI units. XSCF> setrci -c stat HOST address 000102ff Active LIST address pwr alm I/F 000101ff OFF - 003001ff OFF - 003002ff OFF - 003003ff OFF - The command completed successfully.
2.5.4 Making an RCI replacement setting The added RCI I/O unit must be connected to the RCI network. The RCI address of the added RCI I/O unit is synchronized with that of an existing RCI host so that the unit can use RCI functions. An RCI expansion setting can be made only once from an arbitrary RCI host.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation RCI Setup for Replacement of an RCI Base Cabinet 2.6.1 RCI setup flow RCI setup for replacement of an RCI host contains the following steps: Replacing an RCI host Confirming RCI initialization Connecting an RCI cable Making an RCI address setting Making an RCI replacement setting...
Execute the setrci (8) command to initialize RCI settings. XSCF> setrci -c init The command completed successfully. 2.6.4 Connecting an RCI cable Connect the removed T-branch connector together with the RCI cable to the new RCI host. Note: Always do to the RCI host.
CHAPTER 2 Setup of the RCI for Operation • To confirm the specified RCI address: Execute the setrci (8) command to display the RCI status. XSCF> setrci -c stat HOST address 000102ff Inactive The command completed successfully. Confirm that the "address" value is correct. To correct the RCI address, start again from RCI initialization.
• To confirm an RCI replacement setting: Execute the setrci (8) command to display the RCI status. XSCF> setrci -c stat HOST address 000102ff Active LIST address pwr alm I/F 000101ff OFF - 000102ff OFF - 003001ff OFF - The command completed successfully. Confirm that the displayed LIST contents include the replacement RCI host.
