For Comparator I/O Modules, such as the AIB module, that support more than 8
receivers, the receivers are grouped into banks of 8 receivers. Some User
Interface Modules, such as HIBs operating with the MCN Remote Comparator
Display software support only bank 0. Other User Interface Modules, such as the
IIB, can be configured to control any one of the 8 banks.
Below is a list of the MCN banks and the receivers contained in those banks.
Bank Receiver Numbers
0 1 through 8
1 9 through 16
2 17 through 24
3 25 through 32
4 33 through 40
5 41 through 48
6 49 through 56
7 57 through 64
Table 2 - MCN Receiver Banks
In the example shown in Figure 5, the ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator supports 13
receivers. The AIB divides the receivers into two banks (receiver banks 0 and 1)
for its communications with the User Interface Modules (the IIB modules). Two
IIBs are installed in the example system to support these 13 receivers. When the
IIBs were installed, each had to be configured (through front panel option
switches) for the bank of receivers that each will be monitoring. The first IIB is
configured to monitor receivers 1 through 8 (bank 0). The second IIB is
configured to monitor receivers 9 through 13 (bank 1). With this configuration,
the console can monitor and control receivers 1 through 13.
