EMCOR Controller Module General Description and Overview
|
The Ethernet MCOR (EMCOR) Controller module was designed to be used in conjunction with an MCOR Crate and up to 16 MCOR Power Supply modules as the Controller assembly for all 16 MCOR modules. The EMCOR module comes equipped with its own CPU module. Ethernet and USB interface connections are available and can be used to control the output level of all MCOR modules, as well as monitor and feedback current, ripple, and fault status of all 16 channels simultaneously. Current and Ripple measurements to the EMCOR module are provided by each of the MCOR modules using indepepndent readings (Monitor and Feedback readings) in the form of an analog voltage. The ADCs of the EMCOR module digitizes and stores the data making it easily accessible for monitoring purposes.
The EMCOR module has the ability to control all different MCOR module types in the same crate. Power for the EMCOR module is supplied by the crate. A single Bulk Power Supply supplies the power outputs for all MCOR modules residing in the crate. The EMCOR Controller module replaces the C4 Interface Module, which is now considered obsolete. See Table I below for more information regarding the EMCOR module. |
