Backplane Interface Card (BIF)
The
28000C-BIF1-T backplane interface card (BIF) provides communication and control
support to the 28000 system. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) control program
is included with the
BIF.
Option F provides Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Go/No-Go Test (GNG)
hardware and GUI software support for all 28000 transducer conditioning cards.
Control to the 28000 system is by either the supplied GUI or
via a remote connection using high-level commands over the 10baseT Ethernet
interface. The RS-232 serial interface supports control of the system from the
GUI software operating on a Windows compatible PC. Up to eight 28000 systems can
be operated from a single controller.
An alarm indicator on the BIF front panel identifies system
problems such as an over-temperature condition, a cooling fan failure, or faulty
power supply voltages. The BIF front panel TEST BUS connector provides a means
to connect an external test signal to the system’s test bus. The front panel BNC
MONITOR connector may be used with a scope or other measurement device for
viewing the output of a selected channel. The rear panel OUTPUT MONITOR
connector is intended for use by the 28000-4-TEST test subsystem DVM. System
status and communication status LEDs are located on the front panel.
