Overview 21

The status of each LED indicator, during each of the operational states
(for example, powerup, module operation and error), is depicted in
the following table.

Module to Processor Communication

The RTD module communicates with the SLC processor through the
backplane of the chassis. The RTD module transfers data to and
receives data from the processor by means of an image table. The
image table consists of eight input words and eight output words.
Data transmitted from the module to the processor is called the input
image (for example, Channel Data Words and Channel Status Words).
Conversely, data transmitted from the processor to the module is
called the output image (for example, Channel Configuration Words
and Scaling Limit Words).

Details about the input and output images are found in Module
Addressing
on page 52 and 53.
