KUUMIC OY NETWORK CONTROL MIMIC BOARD 1. INTRODUCTION The RKU5 is a mimic board Control Unit. One board can hold up to 7616 separate status indicators: -3808 Bi-color LEDs or -224 seven segment displays The state of the status indicators can be written to or read from the RKU5 Control Unit.

3.1 INDICATOR ADDRESSING Note: Knowledge of the ANSI X3.28 protocol is assumed. Data communication between the RKU5 Control Unit and the Control Center (MicroSCADA) is done via asynchronous serial link (RS232) by using the ANSI X3.28 communication protocol (see cable information on Figure 3).

KUUMIC OY NETWORK CONTROL MIMIC BOARD Examples: - first LCM addresses are from 5001 dec. to 5034 dec. -bus cable = 1 -card number = 1 First address = (1-1) * 14 * 34 + (1-1) * 34 + 1 + 5000 = 5001 dec.

KUUMIC OY NETWORK CONTROL MIMIC BOARD The addresses for the Display Control Modules (DCM) are formed using the formula: write address of the DCM = (bus cable - 1) x 14 DCM number + 4700 where -bus cable is the cable number to which the DCM...

Write operations are done by using "unprotected block write"- or "protected block write"-commands. The RKU5 handles both "unprotected" and "protected" operations in a similar way. Only word addresses are used. The data bit 0 represents the LED state, value 0 means the LED is off (not illuminated) and value 1 means the LED is on (illuminated).
3.3 READ/WRITE SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAYS Write operations are done by using "unprotected block write"- or "protected block write"-commands. The RKU5 handles both "unprotected" and "protected" operations in a similar way. The Display Control Module needs two different memory areas. The addresses for the DCM´s data starts from 4701 dec. and continues to 4924 dec.

KUUMIC OY NETWORK CONTROL MIMIC BOARD Examples: parameter address = 2219 dec. data = 0000 dec. data address = 4701 dec. data = 1000 dec. The 1st DCM will display 1000 parameter address = 2220 dec. data = 0001 dec.
KUUMIC OY NETWORK CONTROL MIMIC BOARD 3.4 LED-TEST The address 5000 dec is reserved for the nonvolatile RAM-memory initialize and LED-test. At the beginning the nonvolatile RAM memory should be cleared by writing the value 7 dec. to the address 5000 dec.
Connect LEDs and LED power supply to the LED Control Modules (Figure 8 and 9) Connect IDC ribbon bus cables between RKU5 control unit and LCMs. The IDC ribbon bus cable has 2 - 15 connectors. The number of connectors depends on the number of LCMs and DCMs.
