This section describes how to configure your Model 493.10 Chassis
(FlexTest GT Controllers) to support an optional six or eight stations.
When configuring your system for a six or eight stations you must
consider the following:
• Ensure that the hwi file is correctly set for the desired multi-station
configuration, especially the interlock and HSM board settings.
• Power to each HSM is limited.
• Cross-head interlocks with solenoid power are not supported.
• Remote Station Control (RSC) is not supported.
• AC input power must be at least 115 V AC.
• Auxiliary power out of J49 on the Model 493.74 HSM Transition
board is not supported.
The 6-station configuration can provide either six or eight channels of
control.
A typical 6-channel/6-station configuration requires 12 Digital
Universal Conditioners and 6 two-stage valve drivers.
A typical 8-channel/6-station configuration requires 16 Digital
Universal Conditioners and 8 two-stage valve drivers.
HSM power current is limited to 1.5 A per HSM.
For 6-station configurations the hwi file must contain the line
INTERLOCKS=6. This line must be a discrete entry, not part of any
other hwi section.
Cross-head interlocks with solenoid power are not supported for 6-
station configurations.
