2.4 977-210-10M Interface Board

Refer to the Communications Interface, P/N 977-210-13M, schematic diagram in Appendix B. U12 is an asynchronous communications interface adapter (ACIA) which communicates with the UDR or 960 system. U1 is an analog switch used to select either the Victoreen loop or the RS232 driver/receiver for external communications. Optical isolation U10 isolates data transmitted on the Victoreen loop while the circuitry comprised of Q6, Q7, Q14, and Q18 are the actual loop drivers. Optical isolator U8 isolates the receive data from the Victoreen loop.

U2 and U3 are, respectively, the receiver and driver circuits for the RS232 port. U14 decodes address block A000 to provide chip enables to the ACIA switch input register U6.

Regulated power for the electronics (+/- 12 VDC) is derived from three terminal regulators VR3 and VR4. The ±5 Vdc logic power is derived from the three terminal regulators VR1 and VR2.

Power for the detector is normally provided by the electronic high voltage power supply in the associated Model 942A-200C UDR or Model 960 System.
