At power up, the onĆboard processor will run diagnostics on the

microprocessor, EPROM, RAM, serial I/O, memory management unit,

and dual port memory, as well as perform systemĆlevel diagnostics.

As each test is run, a number is written out to the sevenĆsegment

display. If there is a fault during the diagnostics, the microprocessor

will halt, the watchdog will time out, and the sevenĆsegment display

will show the code of the failed diagnostic.

2.2.2

Shark Interface Module (M/N 57C554)

The Shark Interface module contains a microprocessor that interfaces

to the Shark rack's backplane through timing and buffer circuitry.
Power for the module's logic circuitry is supplied by the rack's

+5 VDC power supply. Power for the module's remote I/O network

driver is supplied by the rack's +24 VDC power supply and is

regulated at +12 VDC.

2.2.3

Remote I/O Head (M/N 57C328)

The remote I/O Head has an onĆboard power supply that provides all

voltages necessary to power the Remote I/O Head and the I/O

system. The power supply has an input voltage of 120/240 VAC.
The Remote I/O Head contains a microprocessor that connects to the

four I/O ports via the I/O interface circuitry. At power up, the Head

polls the rail subĆsystem to determine how many rails are connected

to it. Each port on the Remote I/O Head is treated like a Multibus slot

and can contain from 0Ć4 rails. Each rail is mapped to one input

register and one output register in the dual port memory of the

M/N 57C416, which allows you to mix digital inputs and outputs in

the same rail. The location of the rail's registers is fixed in the dual

port memory of M/N 57C416. See Appendix I for more information

about the Remote I/O Head's memory map.
The Remote I/O Head connects to the Remote I/O network through

one channel of a serial I/O device. The second channel of the serial

I/O device provided a monitor port for the user. A block diagram is

shown in Appendix B.
The Remote I/O Head contains a watchdog timer that is enabled

when power is turned on to the Head. The microprocessor must reset

the watchdog timer within a specified time or the microprocessor will

shut down and the RUN and CPU READY LEDs on the faceplate will

turn off.
A set of normally open contacts from the Ready Relay are provided

on the terminal strip. The contacts open whenever a problem is

detected in the onĆboard microprocessor. These contacts should be

used in an EĆstop (emergency stop) circuit to remove power from the

outputs in case of emergency. See section 3.5.5 for more information.
At power up, the onĆboard microprocessor will run diagnostics on the

microprocessor, EPROM, RAM, serial I/O, and the I/O interface, as

well as perform systemĆlevel diagnostics. As each test is run, a

number is written out to the sevenĆsegment display. If there is a fault

during the diagnostics, the microprocessor will halt, the watchdog will

time out, and the sevenĆsegment display will show the code of the

failed diagnostics.
