Triguard
SC300E MPP Processor Module
configured
I/O
slots
to
determine
their
status.
All
I/O
modules
have
identity
type
registers
which
allow
the
hot
repair
task
to
confirm
the
status
of
all
fitted
modules.
Circuit
de
tails
The
block
diagram
(Figure
2
-
3 ) shows
the
main
functional
areas
of
the
MPP
circuit.
Overall
control
of
the
circuit
is
by
the
microprocessor.
At
a lower
level,
individual
parts
of
the
circuit
are
controlled
by
Programmable
logic
(PALs)
and
peripheral
devices.
Power supplies
The
two
5.4Vdc
supplies
from
the
chassis
PSUs
are
fused
on
entry
to
the
MPP
by
3A
fuses
F1
and
F2
respectively.
Both
supplies
are
then
fed
via
three
pairs
of
auctioneering
diodes
to
three
5V
regulators.
Each
of
the
regulator
outputs
feeds
a separate
area
of
the
MPP
circuit.
The 12V
outputs
from
the
chassis
PSUs
are
not
used
by
the
MPP.
System clock and supervisory circuits
The
32MHz
system
clock
to
the
microprocessor
is
derived
from
a crystal
oscillator.
16MHz
and
8MHz
clock
signals
for
use
elsewhere
in
the
system
are
obtained
by
dividing
the
system
clock.
A microprocessor
supervisory
chip
operates
as
follows:
•
Generates
a reset
signal
to
the
microprocessor
during
a cold
start
•
Monitors
the
charge
state
of
the
backup
batteries
and
drives
the
Battery
LED
on
the
front panel
•
Generates
the
basic
watchdog
signal.
This
signal
controls
the
Run
LED
on
the
front
panel.
A secondary
watchdog
circuit
monitors
the
Address
Strobe
pulses
from
the
microprocessor.
Its
output
controls
the
Health
LED
on
t
he
front
panel.
Memory
The
MPP
has
eight
32
-
pin
DIL
sockets
used
to
mount
the
EPROMs
which
contain
the
operating
system
RTTS.
Ten
32
-
pin
sockets
are
provided
for
byte
-
wide
SRAM
in
two
banks
of
five.
SRAM
is
supported by
one
or
two
backup
batteries
in
the
absence
of
an
external
power
supply.
Error detection and correction (EDC)
A 32
-
bit
EDC
processor
detects
and
corrects
single
bit
errors
during
reads
from
SRAM.
Dual port controller
The
dual
port
controller
controls
accesses
to
SRAM
by
the
Microprocessor
and
the
Communicator.
