Configurations
The main “843” microprocessor board comprises the Pulsar Plus family controllers. These controllers are
designed to fit a variety of systems and applications. Input and output wiring is connectorized to allow swift
disconnect and attachment to and from the unit. There are several different configuration options for the
controllers. The “843” board is designed to fit in NE and CP power slots can be quickly installed or removed
entirely from a power position with the use of an integrated latch. Controllers can also be ordered as a
direct door or panel mount controller. Within these different physical configurations there are available
integrated options that include items such as a modem or a second Ethernet port. For slot controllers, these
options must be ordered and pre-installed at the factory. Options for door/panel mount controllers can be
added in the field.
The following figure is a block diagram of the basic components of the Pulsar Plus NE843A slot controller.
Controller options that mount directly to a door or panel do not require the small internal connection board
used to interface with the backplane. As an example, the NE843_CONA shown below is the interconnect
board used in the Pulsar Plus NE843A slot controller for interfacing to the NE shelf’s backplane.
