    1260-100/101 Adapt-a-Switch Carrier Module User Manual Select Adapt-a-Switch plug-ins and 1260-Series modules have a Interface pair of front-panel-mounted connector pins. You may connect these to an external device such as a mechanical switch. When the switch is opened, all relays on the plug-in or module are immediately opened.

  • Page 42: Theory Of Operation

    One schematic (P/N 435138,-001) covers both the Mezzanine and Bridge. General The Mezzanine PCB serves two functions. It connects +5V, +12V, and +24V power from the VXIbus backplane to the 1260-100 backplane. It also connects the VXIbus backplane signals to the Option-01T if it is installed. Power Filtering The power is filtered before reaching either the backplane or Option-01T.
  • Page 43 1260-100 Carrier has access to the local bus signals from the Option-01T. If the module to the right of the 1260-100 Carrier is not meant to be controlled by the Option-01T, then all segments of DIP switches S1 and S2 should be open.
  • Page 44 The 13 address bits are clocked into a shift register comprised of U5 and U6. The parallel outputs of this shift register are connected directly to all six plug-ins via the 1260-100 backplane. After sending the address, The Option-01T drives HLBUS_A/D low, indicating that the next data sent will be data.
  • Page 45 0. Power Distribution The Bridge PCB connects +5V, +12V, and +24V power from the VXIbus backplane to the 1260-100 backplane to add to the current provided by the Mezzanine. The bridge also filters power in the same manner as the Mezzanine.
  • Page 46 1260-100/101 Adapt-a-Switch Carrier Module User Manual 1260-101 THEORY OF OPERATION General Power Filtering The power is filtered before reaching either the backplane or Option-01T. The fuses, F1 through F3, are of the surface-mount type. The fuses used are as follows.
  • Page 47 1260-100/101 Adapt-a-Switch Carrier Module User Manual Signals All communications signals are connected in parallel to the two plug-ins, except LBOARDSEL1 and LBOARDSEL2. These two signals route to their respective plug-in slots, and identify which plug-in is currently addressed. The Mezzanine also provides an analog bus. This bus consists of four pairs of PCB traces that daisy-chain from one plug-in to the next, connecting to the two slots in parallel.
  • Page 48 1260-100/101 Adapt-a-Switch Carrier Module User Manual LBUSC10S also connects to all other devices controlled by the same Option-01T. When any device in this group asserts a global reset, all devices in the group respond by resetting their drivers. Interrupt The signal LBUSC11S is an open-collector line to the Option-01T. It has two purposes. When a plug-in asserts an emergency reset condition, it drives the LBUSC11S signal low.
  • Page 49 1260-100/101 Adapt-a-Switch Carrier Module User Manual PLD Programming Connector J5 is a 10-pin header that is connected to the PLD (U1). It uses the JTAG interface to allow in- system programming of the PLD during upgrades or troubleshooting.

  • Page 50: Troubleshooting

    Appendix C TROUBLESHOOTING If you have difficulty in using the 1260-100/101 Adapt-a-Switch Carrier or its plug-ins, refer to the following troubleshooting table. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, contact one of the Racal Customer Support offices listed in Chapter 5: Support Offices.
  • Page 51 If the Option-01T responds with a message in this form, then proceed to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 8. 3. Execute the Racal Instruments 1260-Series soft front panel program. It should display a list of all plug-ins and 1260-Series modules that are connected to the Option-01T. If it does not display a list, then go to step 8.
  • Page 52 If this does not correct the problem, then proceed to step 11. Try to isolate the problem to a single 1260-100/101 Carrier or 1260-Series module by removing others from the chassis. Remember always to install the Option-01T in the module that is left-...
