Triguard SC300E Chassis Models
All input and output modules can be configured to use a hot spare partner module. In the event
of failure of the main I/O module its duty is taken over (manually or automatically) by the hot
spare partner, allowing repairs to be effected.
HARDWARE
The system circuits are accommodated mainly within a number of identical box chassis which
can be individually configured and interconnected to form the required system layout. A system
comprises a main chassis and up to 14 extension chassis (of which 11 can be remote
chassis, connected via fibre optic cables) interconnected via a set of standard ribbon cables
using a multi-drop technique. Each chassis can accommodate up to 10 I/O modules so that a
fully populated SC300E system can contain 150 I/O modules.
Blanking plates
Unpopulated slots can be covered with blanking plates if required.
