Description and Operation Section 2 Introduction This section explains the functionality of the Harmony bridge controller (BRC) using block diagrams and text. Block dia- grams divide the operation of the Harmony bridge controller. Operation The BRC module incorporates the power of a second genera- tion 32-bit microprocessor operating at 32 megahertz.
The BRC module uses a control I/O block (CIO) on Hnet to support a station link that can handle up to 128 IISAC01 stations and is compatible with the Symphony system. Two auxiliary RS-232-C ports and a serial station link are available through a cable connection via the PBA board to an NTMP01 Multifunction Processor Termination Unit.

Circuitry and UDF applications. NVRAM memory retains whatever infor- mation it has, even when it loses power. Direct Memory Access The DMA section enables the various communication links to do direct data transfers to and from RAM memory without pro- cessor intervention.
Circuitry disconnects -30 VDC from pin four of connector P2 on the BRC module. Redundancy Link The redundancy link is a dual parallel link between a primary and backup BRC module in redundant configurations. As the primary module executes, the backup module waits in standby mode and receives a copy of block outputs over this link.
Circuitry Physical connection is provided by a direct connection from the BRC module P3 connector to the processor bus adapter board P5 connector. The processor adapter board mounts on the rear of a module mounting unit with the proper adapter brackets installed.
Circuitry board supplies the serial channels with handshaking signals. Clock signals for the baud rate generator are derived from an on-board, 7.3728-megahertz oscillator. The PBA board connects to an NTMP01 Multifunction Proces- sor Termination Unit. Input/output signals enter or leave the PBA board through a cable connection to the termination unit.
Circuitry Support for bypass stations requires a Harmony control I/O module (IMCIS12, IMQRS12) configured on the I/O expander bus. Power Power requirements are 5 VDC for logic power and for line driv- ers/receivers. The Hnet interface derives all other power requirements from the 5 VDC logic power.
Earlier Network 90 systems applied -30 VDC to pins three and four of the module connector P1. This voltage is not required for Symphony and INFI 90 OPEN modules. In Symphony and INFI 90 OPEN systems, pin four is used for the Controlway bus.
Special Handling Special Handling Observe these steps when handling electronic circuitry: NOTE: Always use ABB's field static kit (part number 1948385?1 - consisting of two wrist straps, ground cord assembly, alligator clip and static dissipative work surface) when working with the modules. The kit grounds a technician and the static dissipative work surface to the same ground point to prevent damage to the modules by electrostatic discharge.
Dipswitches and Jumpers 3. File a claim for any damage with the transportation com- pany that handled the shipment. 4. Use the original packing material and container to store the hardware. 5. Store the hardware in an environment of good air quality, free from temperature and moisture extremes.
Dipswitches and Jumpers Jumpers J1, J2, J3, and J4 define module functions and oper- ation. Jumper J1 enables or disables the machine fault timer (MFT). Jumper J2 sets the diagnostic RS-232-C port for opera- tion as data communication equipment (DCE) or data terminal equipment (DTE).
