Note: Faults that are declared by the
Kernel of the DCU will be 
displayed as having a PAC 
block number of 00000. The 
Kernel is the fixed (i.e. non-
changeable) code for the DCU 
microprocessor which forms the 
operating system of the 
microprocessor. It controls the 
generation of the various scans, 
the order of execution of the PAC 
tasks, the information passed to 
and from the PAC tasks and the 
execution of other standard code 
not directly associated with the 
PAC tasks such as the control of 
the CDU or LAN handler. The 
DCU (Drive Control Unit) refers 
to the hardware and software used 
to control the drive. Specifically, 
it refers to the hardware and 
software associated with the 
68000 microprocessor. The DCU 
software includes the variable 
software generated as a result of 
the PAC program and the fixed 
software (Kernel) used to control 
execution of the PAC program.
