CABLES TO CONNECT THE AND-OR CARD OUTPUTS TO FSTD INPUTS ======================================================== Each AND-OR card must communicate its 'AND-OR fired' signal to an FSTD card. There are 16 pairs of AND-OR cards in each AND-OR cell. Currently, each FSTD handles the output 'AND-OR fired' signals of 4 pairs of AND-OR cards. Therefore, 4 FSTD cards are required to monitor the 32 AND-OR cards. Each FSTD card is connected to its AND-OR cards with a harness of 8 twisted-pair cables. On the FSTD end, the cables are terminated in an AMP 34 contact housing (of which only 8 contacts are used), wired with red on top. The 8 AND-OR ends of this harness are terminated in 8 AMP 2 contact housings. It is important to guarantee that the harness is cabled correctly. Each FSTD card is responsible for 4 Specific Triggers. Each Specific Trigger is currently triggered by 2 'AND-OR fired' signals (resulting in each FSTD monitoring 8 AND-OR cards as mentioned above). If each AND-OR card is designated with a code of ANDOR/CHANNEL, where CHANNEL is the FSTD channel being used to read the AND-OR card, and ANDOR designates which part of the Specific Trigger the AND-OR card monitors (ANDOR = 1 would correspond to trigger bits 0-127; ANDOR = 2 would correspond to trigger bits 128-255), a mapping from each FSTD to its 8 AND-OR cards can be defined: FSTD J-3 pin pair ANDOR/CHANNEL -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31, 32 1/1 29, 30 2/1 23, 24 1/2 21, 22 2/2 15, 16 1/3 13, 14 2/3 7, 8 1/4 5, 6 2/4 On each AND-OR card, the cable should be connected to J-3, pins 33 and 34. There are 4 identical copies of this cable per AND-OR cell: one cable for each group of 4 Specific Triggers. There are also 2 AND-OR cells, therefore, 8 identical copies of this cable are necessary for complete operation.
