Example 3 - 16 Receivers with a Console Display
A multiple comparator system is shown in Figure 17. This system implements
monitoring and control of 3 different comparators from one console.
Notice that in this system, one CIB module is being used to control receivers from
two comparators (comparators 1 and 2). The only requirement for this setup is
that both comparators 1 and 2 are the same type (i.e. both must be Digitac or both
must be Spectra TAC, etc.). Comparator 3 does not have to be the same type as
comparators 1 and 2 since it connects to a different CIB.
This example will provide control for up to 16 receivers total.
A benefit of this system is that all of the parallel I/O lines between the
comparators and the console electronics do not have to be run the 400 ft. distance
between the console electronics and the comparators. Only a single network cable
for the MCN system has to be run the 400 ft.
