General Description - Honeywell Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 User Manual

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 Control System consists of two cabinets (also called
"towers") which together contain the electronics, two cartridge disk drives, and a history
module. The cabinet electronics support up to four color monitors, four keyboards, and
optional touchscreens or trackballs. A printer is also connected to the system.
Two electronics modules, one housed in each tower, provide all of the electronics for the
Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 Control System (excluding peripherals). These modules,
called Multinode Modules, are each capable of holding four TDC 3000 Nodes.
Although the Advanced Process Manager (APM) is part of the Enhanced Micro TDC 3000
Control System, it is not described in this manual. See subsection 1.5 for a list of
publications that discuss the Advanced Process Manager and the Universal Control
Network (UCN).
Figure 1-2 is a representation of some of the nodes used to construct a sample Enhanced
Micro TDC 3000 Control System.
