Table 1 EXB Modules

Table 1 shows the various types of EXB modules that can be used in a system. The "xxx"
in the model number is the revision number. The revision must be 300 or above to be
used in a hot-standby system. The Hot-Standby function of these units must be enabled
with special programming provided by CTI Products, Inc. as part of a Custom Engineered
System. 78K EXB modules are typically used at the remote sites. 1.25 Mb units are
typically used at the central sites, although 78K devices could be used in some systems.

The EXB Network Management Software runs on a PC separate from the MCNRCD
PC(s). The software package includes a Network Interface card for the PC.

If a system has multiple PC monitoring points, it can have an EXB Network Manager at
each PC location. Each Network Management PC can control only those EXBs that bring
data from remote sites to its own (Central) site.

For example, Table 2 shows a system with monitoring points at Site 1 and Site 2. A Yes
in the table indicates that the PC can monitor the appropriate "Remote" (CIB or Group)
EXBs. Notice that Site 1 cannot monitor the EXBs at its site that feed CIB data to Site 2,
and vice versa.
