1:2 Redundant System Controller

RSC-1200
Introduction

Control Panel Features

Redundant systems increase system availability by

including spares for critical units (e.g., LNAs, LNBs, BUCs
or SSPAs) in the signal path. In the case of a detected unit
failure, the redundant system automatically switches to the
spare. A 1:2 redundant system supports two active units
and one spare unit.

The RSC-1200 Redundant System Controller can directly

power most LNA or LNB units and monitor the output
voltages and currents to detect faults. The controller can
also monitor external alarm input signals, such as from a
SSPA or BUC, or monitor a combination of output currents
and external alarm inputs. Upon detecting a unit failure,
the controller can automatically drive a waveguide switch
to activate the spare unit.

Unit Status Alarms

LED Indicators glow green when OK, red when a fault is detected.

PS1, PS2 Indicators

Glow red to show fault with dual redundant power supplies.

Panel Test Pushbutton

Lights all indicators & tests audible alarm.

Unit Pushbuttons and Indicators

Pushbuttons are used to manually switch units. Arrow indicators show which
units are on-line. Unit indicators light red to show faulted units. Unit 1 is the
primary unit for Pol 1 and Unit 2 is the primary unit for Pol 2. Unit 3 is on
standby and can be selected for either Pol.

Auto/Manual Switch and Indicators

In Auto mode, a unit failure initiates automatic switchover to the standby unit.
In manual mode, the on-line unit can be selected from the front panel or by
serial I/O or parallel I/O command.

Remote/Local Switch and Indicators

Selects local (front panel) control, or remote control from serial I/O, parallel
I/O, or optional remote panel.

Dual power entry modules contain the AC line input connector, fuses, and power switches.
System can be powered from separate AC lines if desired. Either or both power supplies are
capable of operating the system.
Cable to antenna plate assembly carries unit power (for line drivers, LNAs or LNBs) and switch
drive signals. Order cable separately. Standard lengths are from 100 (30 m) to 250 (75 m) in
50 (15 m) increments; other lengths are special order.
External Alarm inputs. Substitute for or combine with internal unit current monitor alarms.
Allows an external signal to indicate unit failure. Unused inputs can be used as status inputs to
M&C system.
For optional Remote Control panel, which duplicates all front panel functions. Interconnect
cable lengths to 4000 ft (1200 m).
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 connectors for user M&C System. Commands provide monitoring,
controlling, and configuration. Interconnect cable lengths to 4000 ft (1200 m) with RS-422 or
RS-485.
Parallel I/O connection for customer control or monitoring. Capable of controlling all features
of the system except remote/local switch.
