    2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION In most cases the VX414C is individually sealed and packaged for shipment. Verify that there has been no damage to the shipping container. If damage exists then the container should be retained as it will provide evidence of carrier caused problems. Such problems should be reported to the carrier immediately as well as to C&H.

  • Page 14: Functional Description

    Figure 1. Functional Block Diagram 3.1.1 VXI Interface The VXI interface, consisting of the VXI connectors, address decode logic, control logic and data buffer, provides the electrical and mechanical connections to the VXI backplane. It performs address decoding and bus buffering functions.

  • Page 15: Relay Driver

    3.1.3 Relay Driver The relay driver function receives relay control data from the data latch and provides relay coil current control for energizing or de-energizing the relay. A logic high on the input of the relay driver results in a low on its output, thus providing a current through the relay coil, which closes the contact.

  • Page 16: Hardware Configuration

    3.2 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION Logical Address The logical address has a range of 0 to 255. Any value, except 0 and 255 which are reserved for slot 0 controllers and dynamic addressing, is valid. However, care should be taken not to set the logical address the same as another module in the system. The most significant bit (MSB) has a weighted value of 128 when the switch is in the off (1) position.

  • Page 18: Configuration Registers

    3.5 CONFIGURATION REGISTERS There are several registers used to configure and control the VX414C. These registers are divided into two groups: VXI Configuration and Relay Control/Status. All of the registers are located within the A16 address space as shown in Table I. The base address of the registers is a function of the Logical Address of the module.
