2.2 Comparator Interface Module (CIB)
The CIB module connects various types of comparators with parallel I/O facilities
to the MCN network. Features of the CIB module include:
• Parallel bi-directional I/O line connections between the CIB and a
parallel I/O comparator, including Motorola Digitac, Spectra-TAC,
TAC, and Ericsson/GE Analog comparators.
• Support for up to 8 receivers per module.
• Provides VOTE, RECEIVE, DISABLE, and FAIL status for each
receiver to an MCN User Interface Module.
• Allows a User Interface Module to FORCE VOTE or DISABLE any
receiver.
• The CIB can be connected to more than one comparator (with total
support for 8 receivers) as long as the comparators are of the same
type.
• Interfaces with a TIB module to provide transmitter site monitoring
and control (this feature is selected from a front panel option switch).
Option switches on the front panel of the CIB configure the type of comparator
being used. Refer to the CIB hardware reference manual for a description of the
CIB’s option switches.
