System Description
DS-5 STOP Illuminates steady YELLOW when the Emergency Stop Switch is depressed.
DS-6 MICRO RESET Illuminates steady RED when MPU-17 microprocessor is in a reset condition. Blinks
RED in a continuous reset condition or buss failure.
DS-7 POWER Illuminates steady GREEN when MC-2 is receiving +/-12 VDC

Dual VFD Motor Drive Card (MD-3)

The Dual VFD Motor Drive Card (center card) handles control, status and fault reporting of the a zimuth and
elevation Variable Frequency Drive Units (VFD's). The Dual VFD Motor Drive Card has two f ault indicators.
The MD-3 provides the following fault indicators that are viewable from the face of the card:
DS-1 OVERLOAD Illuminates Steady RED when AZ, EL, or both AZ and EL axis motor s are drawing
excessive current. A slow RED blink (500ms) indicates loss of communication with
the MPU-17.
DS-2 FAULT Illuminates RED when either VFD is in a fault condition. A slow RED blink (500 ms)
indicates loss of communication with the MPU-17. A fast RED blink (250 ms)
indicates both forward and reverse VFD direction commands are present
simultaneously.

Resolver To Digital Converter Card (RES-2)

The Resolver To Digital (R/D) Converter Card (right most card) is a multiplexed single converter based card
and provides resolver signal to digital bit converter. The RES-2 card accepts three resolver inputs an d
outputs the 16 bit converted value of each resolver signal to the MPU-17.
The RES-2 provides the following indicators:
DS-1 EL CEN Illuminates steady YELLOW when the EL resolver is reading center of the R/D
range (±2 degrees). A slow YELLOW blink (500 ms) indicates a loss of
communication with the MPU17. A fast (250 ms) blink indicates a loss of resolver
signal and would likely be caused by the EL resolver not being properly connected
or defective.
DS-2 AZ CEN Illuminates steady YELLOW when the AZ resolver is reading center of the R/D
range (±2 degrees). A slow YELLOW blink (500 ms) indicates a loss of
communication with the MPU17. A fast (250 ms) blink indicates a loss of resolver
signal and would likely be caused by the AZ resolver not being properly connected
or defective.
DS-3 POL CEN Illuminates steady YELLOW when the POL resolver is reading center of the R/D
range (±2 degrees). A slow YELLOW blink (500 ms) indicates a loss of
communication with the MPU17. A fast (250 ms) blink indicates a loss of resolver
signal and would likely be caused by the POL resolver not being properly connected
or defective.

Low Temperature Board

The low temperature board has the following indicators:
DS1 (Yellow) High Temperature. The temperature inside the enclosure is above +50° Celsius.
DS2 (Red) Low Temperature. The temperature inside the enclosure is at 0° Celsius. A warning
is issued. If the temperature fall below -10° Celsius power is removed from the
VFDs and all antenna movement halted. The temperature must rise above -10°
Celsius before power is restored to the VFDs.
DS3 (Green) Power to the low temperature board is within normal limits.
