Instruction Manual
GLOSSARY
Analyzer Module
The module that contains all sensor/detector components for development of a Primary Variable signal; includes all signal conditioning and temperature control circuitry.
Backplane
The interconnect circuit board which the Controller Board, Power Supply, Analyzer Module power and network cables, I/O Modules and Expansion Modules plug into.
Control Module
The Operator Interface plus the Controller Board.
Controller Board
The computer board that serves as the Network Manager and operates the Display and Keypad.
Distribution Assembly
The Backplane and the card cages that hold I/O and Expansion Modules.
Expansion Module
A circuit board that plugs into the Backplane from the front of the Platform and performs special features not related to I/O functions.
I/O Module
A circuit board that plugs into the Backplane from the rear of the Platform. Has a connector terminal for communication with external data acquisition devices and provides an input/output function.
Operator Interface
The Display and Keyboard.
Platform
Any workable collection of the following: Controller Board, Power Supply, Distribution Assembly, Enclosure and Operator Interface.
Power Supply
Any of a variety of components that provides conditioned power to other NGA2000 components, from the Power Supply Board that plugs into the front of the Backplane in a
Primary Variable
The measured species concentration value from an Analyzer Module.
Secondary Variable
Data placed on the network by a module regarding current status, e.g., sample flow, source voltage and other diagnostic information.
