1.1 Manual Overview This manual provides detailed instructions for installing and operating the PESA RCP-MLDT Control Panels. This manual is divided into seven sections as shown. Sections 3 and 4 contain operational and functional descriptions of the RCP-MLDT Control Panels and their associated circuit cards.
RCP-MLDT Introduction Section 1 1.3 Specifications GENERAL Mounting Standard 19" Rack Push-buttons Illuminated and Legend-able INPUT Communications Port RS485 POWER Voltage Requirements +7.5VDC @ 800mA MECHANICAL Physical Dimensions Two Rack Units 19"W X 3"D X 3.5"H 482.6mm X 76.2mm X 48.9mm...
2.3 Location and Mounting The RCP-MLDT Control Panels have been designed to fit in a standard E.I.A. 19" equipment rack and use two rack units of space (3.5"). An area should be selected where the ambient temperature will not exceed 40°C inside the equipment rack, and where air can circulate freely.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the chassis installation. To install the RCP-MLDT Control Panels take the following steps: 1. Align the control panel chassis with a slotted opening in the rack. 2. Install the bottom screws first.
RCP-MLDT Installation Section 2 2.4 Polling Address For the system controller to identify a particular control panel, a specific device number or polling address must be assigned to each panel. Se- quential binary numbers (1 thorough 1023) are used for this purpose. The appropriate binary number is entered into the control panel by setting an internal 10-position DIP switch to the selected binary number.
RCP-MLDT Installation Section 2 2.5 Control Panel/Controller Interconnection Each control panel has a single 3-pin MTA connector located on its rear panel which is utilized for system communications to and from the control- ler. Control panels are daisy-chained to a communications port on the rear panel of the system controller or to a communications port on the rear panel of the routing switcher containing the system controller.
RCP-MLDT Installation Section 2 2.6 Wiring the Control Panel Connector Should an additional panel be added to your system, it will be necessary to wire the connector using shielded twisted pair cable and a 3-pin MTA connector using the following instructions. See Figure 2-4.
RCP-MLDT Installation Section 2 2.7 Terminating Cable Runs Each cable run should be terminated with a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt 5% resis- tor. The cable is terminated internally at the controller. See Figure 2-5. 1. Un-crimp the black and red leads in positions one and three.
Installation Section 2 2.8 Power Connections Power for the RCP-MLDT Control Panels is supplied by external 7.5 VDC, 800 mA power supplies. Remove the power supply from the box it was shipped in and check to insure that no damage has occurred in shipping. Verify that the power supply is rated for the proper AC voltage (i.e.
Operations Section 3 3.1 Introduction The RCP-MLDT Control Panels are designed to be controlled by the 3300 Controller. Operations of the RCP-MLDT Control Panels require that they be configured at the system controller utilizing the Win3300 Control Sys- tem. Refer to the Operations Section of the Win3300 Control System Manual for configuration instructions.

Functional Section 4 4.1 Introduction Both models of the RCP-MLDT Control Panels contain two printed circuit board assemblies; a Remote CPU Assembly and a MLDT Switchcard As- sembly or a MLDT2 Switchcard Assembly dependent upon the control panel model. The Remote CPU Assembly contains a microprocessor that controls the panel's operation and communicates with the routing switch- ing system controller.
RCP-MLDT Functional Section 4 4.2 Remote CPU Assembly Continued: Microprocessor Continued: During the first half of the bus cycle, port C presents the lower address byte (A0-A7). This information is latched into U2 on the falling edge of the address strobe, AS (U1 pin 4 to U2 pin 11), and remains stable until the beginning of the next bus cycle when AS is driven high by the processor.
RCP-MLDT Functional Section 4 4.2 Remote CPU Assembly Continued: Reset As with all microprocessors, the 68HC11 requires initialization during power-up. The 68HC11 requires that the RESET pin (U1 pin 17) be held low for 4064 cycles of E clock (2.2 mS @ 1.8432 MHz E clock). In addition the RESET pin must be held low while VDD is below legal limits to protect the internal EPROM register contents.
RCP-MLDT Functional Section 4 4.2 Remote CPU Assembly Continued: RS485 Communications Communication between the panel and the system controller is accom- plished by the 68HC11 internal serial communications interface (SCI). The SCI is an asynchronous receiver/transmitter, sometimes referred to as a UART.
12. 4.3 Switchcard Assemblies (MLDT and MLDT2) The Switchcard Assemblies for both the RCP-MLDT Control Panel and the RCP-MLDT2 Control Panel contain circuitry to provide a switchcard ID to the Remote CPU Assembly, scan a keyboard, light the keyboard LEDs, and interface to an LCD display.
The scan circuit is arranged as an sixteen row by eight col- umn array. While the scan circuitry is capable of serving 128 push-but- tons, the RCP-MLDT has switch circuitry for 80 push-buttons and the RCP-MLDT2 has switch circuitry for 48 push-buttons. To scan the key- board, the microprocessor on the Remote CPU Assembly performs read cycles that enable SEL1.
RCP-MLDT Functional Section 4 4.3 Switchcard Assemblies (MLDT and MLDT2) Cont: LED Driver The Switchcard Assembly contains circuitry capable of lighting up to 102 push-button LEDs. The MLDT Switchcard Assembly uses 80 of these LED driver circuits and the MLDT2 Switchcard Assembly uses 48 of these LED driver circuits (one per push-button).
RCP-MLDT Functional Section 4 4.3 Switchcard Assemblies (MLDT and MLDT2) Cont: LCD Display Continued: Figure 4-2 Idealized LCD Write Cycle Timing It should be noted that since the write cycle to an LCD display is not com- pleted until the end of the next bus cycle, back-to-back writes to the dis- play are not possible.
5.4 Corrective Maintenance The following paragraphs provide information to assist the servicing tech- nician in the maintenance of the RCP-MLDT Control Panels. The func- tional description (Section 4) contains assembly and circuit level informa- tion to help identify specific problems.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the RCP-MLDT Control Panels requires the routing switcher system to be used as a test fixture. The RCP-MLDT Control Panels will not function except as part of routing switcher system. The only troubleshooting which can be accomplished without opening the control panels is to check input power (from plug-in power supply).

RCP-MLDT Maintenance Section 5 5.4 Corrective Maintenance Continued: Troubleshooting Continued: If the control panel is unresponsive, there may be a power problem of the microprocessor on the Remote CPU Assembly is not operat- ing. 1. Refer to the Power Distribution discussion in Section 4. Refer to the Remote CPU Assembly Schematic in Section 6 if it is necessary to make voltage checks at the chip or component level.
