Manual 07500860 Model 3000-43 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Safety and Manual Conventions This manual contains conventions regarding safety and equipment usage as described below. 1.1.1 Product Reference Throughout this manual, the term “Common Core Switching Platform, Series 8800” refers to all models of within the series, unless otherwise specified.
All 48 relays are controlled via three 16-bit program registers. The registers are accessed by the controller in high speed data transfer using 16 bit or 32 bit data format using ASCOR’s VXImax™ technology. The state of each relay can be read by the VXI controller.
Manual 07500860 Model 3000-43 Chapter 5 Controls and Indicators The following controls and indicators are provided to select and display the functions of the ASCOR 3000-43 Module’s operating environment. 5.1 VXI Logical Address The Logical Address Switch is dual circular switches, D1 and D2 which are located at the rear of the module.
The following items are inside the module and can be reached by removing the side cover. 6.1 Fuse The ASCOR VXI 3000-43 uses a 10 Amp fuse in the +5 Volt line and is located on the Mother Board (MB) assembly.
A24 Base Address. All other bits in the A24 Base Address are set to zeroes. A subset of the ASCOR 3000-43 Custom Registers are relay registers. See connector assignments for pin and channels assignments with associated relays.

A16 address space are VXI Device Registers. They are accessed as a 16-bit word. The registers located in the A24 address space are ASCOR Module Custom registers, and they can be accessed as a 16-bit word. Additionally, since the 3000-43 is equipped with VXIMAXTM 16/32, these Custom registers can also be accessed as a 32-bit word.
9.2.6 VXI Device Register Description The ASCOR 3000-43 General Purpose Switch has VXI Device Registers located in the A16 address space. The VXI Specification defines 32 VXI Device Registers and they are all 16 bits wide. The first 4 registers are VXI Configuration Registers.

9.3 ASCOR Custom Registers for the ASCOR 3000-43 Module The ASCOR 3000-43 Custom Registers are located in the A24 Address Space. The custom registers start at offset 8000h within the A24 address space assigned by the resource manager. All 3000-43 custom registers can be accessed as a 16-bit word.
These registers, which are also located in the A24 Address Space, have a few unique properties: Read / Write ASCOR Relay Registers are read / write registers. When a relay register is read the states of the coils associated to that register are returned. Normally, the states of the coils should match the values which were written.

9.4.1 Resetting ASCOR VXI Module The ASCOR 3000-43 General Purpose Switch can be reset to a power up state by setting the Device Reset bit of the Status / Control (04h) register in the VXI Configuration Registers. Care must be taken when writing to this register since all bits other than the Device Reset bit must not be changed.

9.4.2 Programming the ASCOR 3000-43 Custom Registers The ASCOR 3000-43 Custom Registers can be accessed through the registers in the A24 address space. Since all 16 or 32 bits are programmed with a single write operation, care must be taken when values are written to these registers in order to prevent unintended side effects.

Manual 07500860 Model 3000-43 Chapter 10 Miscellaneous Questions and Answers Q:How do I calculate the 3000-43 Module’s A16 Base Address? A: The A16 Base Address of the 3000-43 is derived from the Logical Address. The formula for calculating the A16 Base Address is as follows: A16 Base Address = C000h + LA x 40h where LA is the Logical Address of a module Logical Address...

Manual 07500860 Model 3000-43 Q: How do I calculate the 3000-43 Module’s A24 Base Address? A: The A24 Base Address of the 3000-43 can be derived from the value stored in the Offset Register (04h). To obtain the A24 base address, take the 8 most significant bits of the Offset register and map them to the 8 most significant bits of the A24 Base Address.
