IIB Hardware Reference Introduction
CTI Products, Inc.
1. Introduction
The Input/Output Interface Module (IIB) is a member of the Monitoring and
Control Network (MCN™) family of User Interface Modules. Hardware
specifications, special installation, and configuration information are described in
this manual.
The IIB module connects a parallel operator display device (such as a console) to
the MCN network. The IIB is used with the operator display device and a
Comparator I/O Module (such as a CIB or AIB) to create a comparator display
system. The comparator display system provides monitoring and control functions
for your communications system. Receiver states monitored by the IIB include
VOTE, RECEIVE, DISABLE and FAIL. Receiver functions that can be
controlled include FORCE VOTE and DISABLE.

IIB Hardware Reference Theory of Operation
CONSOLE
CTI Products, Inc.
3. Theory of Operation
This section describes the operation of the IIB module in an MCN comparator
display system.
3.1 Comparator Status
The Comparator I/O Module (such as an AIB or CIB) accepts the VOTE,
RECEIVE, DISABLE, and FAIL receiver status indicators from the comparator.
It sends status messages to the IIB module. The IIB module controls the VOTE,
RECEIVE, DISABLE, and FAIL parallel lines of the operator interface (such as a
console).
3.2 Controlling the Comparator
The IIB module monitors the VOTE and DISABLE lines from the console. When
the console activates a VOTE or DISABLE line, the IIB module will send a
FORCE VOTE or DISABLE command to the comparator. The Comparator I/O
Module will then generate the proper FORCE VOTE or DISABLE/ENABLE
signal to control the comparator.
3.3 Associating an IIB with a Comparator I/O Module
When an IIB is installed into a system, you need to configure the IIB with the
address of the Comparator I/O Module it will be operating with. Section 6.1
describes how to enter this extra address. By having the address of the
Comparator I/O Module, the IIB knows how to route its control messages for
FORCE VOTE and DISABLE over the MCN network.
3.4 System Example
Figure 3 shows an example comparator display system using the IIB module with a
console for the operator station.

MODULE

CA-80034-100CA-80034-100
When the comparator detects that a receiver is active, it sends a RECEIVE
command followed by a VOTE command (if that receiver becomes voted). The
Comparator I/O Module processes these commands and sends them to the IIB.
The IIB then activates the VOTE and RX outputs for that receiver.

IIB Hardware Reference Theory of Operation
CONSOLE
CTI Products, Inc.
If the comparator detects that a receiver has failed, it sends a FAIL command to
the Comparator I/O Module. Again, the Comparator I/O Module sends this FAIL
command to the IIB so that the user can see that the receiver has failed.
From the console, the user can generate FORCE VOTE or DISABLE commands
for each receiver in the system. The IIB detects these active signals and sends
them to the Comparator I/O Module, which then controls the comparator.
3.5 Receiver Banks
The IIB module is designed to operate with a maximum of 8 receivers. This group
of 8 receivers is called a bank. If the Comparator I/O Module supports more than
8 receivers (more than 1 bank of receivers), then multiple IIBs are required to
monitor and control these additional banks. Section 4 describes how the IIB is
configured to select the bank of receivers being monitored.
For example, the system shown in Figure 4 shows an ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator
that supports a total of 13 receivers. The AIB Comparator I/O Module separates
the 13 receivers into two banks of 8 receivers.

Figure 4 - Multiple IIB System Example
Two IIBs provide support for the 13 receivers of the ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator.
The AIB module divides the 13 receivers into bank 0 (receivers 1 through 8) and
bank 1 (receivers 9 through 13). Each IIB has to be configured to operate with
one of the banks of the AIB. The first IIB would be configured to operate with
bank 0 of the AIB. The other IIB would be configured to operate bank 1 of the
AIB. This configuration is done using the option switches on the front of the IIB.
Refer to section 4 for details. With this configuration, the console will be able to
monitor and control receivers 1 through 13 of the comparator. The Link Fail
feature of the second IIB (configured for bank 1) can be enabled to monitor the
status of the AIB to ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator communication link as well as the
MCN network communications link. Refer to section 7.1. Because the second
IIB only monitors and controls receivers 9 through 13 (a total of 5 receivers) of
the ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator, its highest receiver is unused and therefore
available to display Link Fail status.

IIB Hardware Reference Theory of Operation

3.6 Parallel I/O Signals
The IIB provides two input/output lines per receiver (VOTE and DISABLE) that
allow both monitoring and control of the signal. Two output only lines per
receiver (FAIL and RECEIVE) are also provided. None of these I/O lines are
latched in the IIB. In the console, the VOTE switch or button should be
momentary, and the DISABLE switch or button should be latched.
Because the VOTE and DISABLE lines are input/output lines, when the VOTE or
DISABLE input is driven by the console, any device tied to that line will also be
driven (an LED for example).
3.7 Bi-directional Lines
Because the console VOTE and DISABLE lines are bi-directional, the console’s
LEDs will be lit if the console outputs are active. Because of this, the console
could still indicate a DISABLE or VOTE on a receiver even if there is a problem
in the network cabling or the Comparator I/O Module.
This is one reason for using the Link Failure Reporting of the IIB (see section 7.1,
Link Failure Reporting). Using this feature, the operator can be warned when the
comparator is not communicating with the Comparator I/O Module (provided the
Comparator I/O Module supports Link Fail reporting) or when the IIB is not
communicating with the Comparator I/O Module.

The Group and Module selector switches are used to set the unit address during
module installation.
The unit address selector switch (OPTION switch position 4) is only used at
installation time. Refer to section 6, Special Installation Instructions, for a
description of this switch. For normal operation, this switch must be in the
DOWN position.
An IIB can monitor 8 receivers when the Link Fail feature is disabled or 7
receivers when the Link Fail feature is enabled (one receiver bank). Option
switches 1 through 3 allow the IIB to monitor any receiver bank supported by the
Comparator I/O Module. The settings for these switches is shown in Table 3. If
the Link Fail feature is enabled, the last receiver on an IIB is unusable. The IIB
will not provide monitoring and control functions for that receiver.

IIB Hardware Reference Special Installation Instructions
CTI Products, Inc.
6. Special Installation Instructions
6.1 Unit Address Setting
An IIB must be programmed with two unit addresses:
1. the address of the Comparator I/O Module it will operate with
2. the IIB’s own address
You only need to perform this programming once, at installation time. These
addresses are stored in non-volatile memory so the only reason that you would
have to repeat this step is if you changed the unit address of the Comparator I/O
Module or if you replaced the IIB module.
Before programming the address information into the IIB, determine the unit
addresses of all the MCN modules in the system, following the guidelines in the
Address Planning planning section of the Monitoring and Control Network
System Manual (reference 1).
Valid ranges for the Group and Module switches are:
• Group number = 00 through FE
• Module number = 0 through F
The steps for programming the unit address of the Comparator I/O Module are:
Step Action
1 Determine the unit addresses of all the MCN modules in the system.
2 Apply power to the IIB.
3 Place OPTION switch 4 in the UP position.
4 Set the Group and Module switches to the unit address of the
Comparator I/O Module (from step 1) that this IIB will operate with.
5 Press the RESET button on the IIB.
6 The ERR LED will turn on and remain on.
7 Place OPTION switch 4 in the DOWN position.
8 Set the Group and Module switches to the unit address of this IIB
(its own address from step 1).
9 Press the RESET button on the IIB.
10 The ERR LED will turn on momentarily and then turn off.
After you complete these steps, connect the IIB to the Comparator I/O Module.
Apply power to the Comparator I/O Module and within approximately three
seconds, the ACT LED of the IIB should turn on and the ACT LED of the
Comparator I/O Module should turn on or blink. If the ACT LEDs turn on, the
IIB has been correctly programmed with the unit address of the Comparator I/O
Module. If the ACT LEDs remain off, verify your unit switch settings and repeat

For example, Figure 10 shows a system with a single IIB and Comparator I/O
Module. The following steps show how the system might be setup, using the
following address assignments:
• IIB address is Group 80, Module 0
• Comparator I/O Module is Group 00, Module 0
Step Action
1 Connect the network cable between the IIB NETWORK OUT port
and the Comparator I/O Module’s NETWORK IN port.
2 Power on both the Comparator I/O Module and the IIB.
3 On the Comparator I/O Module, set the Group switch to 00 and the
Module switch to 0.
4 Reset the Comparator I/O Module.
5 On the IIB, place OPTION switch 4 in the UP position.
6 On the IIB, set the Group switch to 00 and the Module switch to 0.
This is the address of the Comparator I/O Module it will work with.
7 On the IIB, set the receiver bank selector switches.
7 Press the RESET button on the IIB.
8 The IIB’s ERR LED will turn on and remain on.
9 On the IIB, place OPTION switch 4 in the DOWN position.
10 On the IIB, set the Group switch to 80 and the Module switch to 0.
This is the IIB’s own address.
11 Press the RESET button on the IIB.
12 The ERR LED will turn on momentarily and then turn off.
13 After a couple of seconds, the ACT LED on the IIB should turn ON
and the ACT LED of the Comparator I/O Module should turn ON
or begin blinking.
If this does not occur, repeat the process or consult the
troubleshooting guide in section 10.

IIB Hardware Reference Special Features
CTI Products, Inc.
7. Special Features
7.1 Link Failure Reporting
The IIB has a selectable option to show communication link failures between the
IIB and its Comparator I/O Module (network link failures) or between the
Comparator I/O Module and the comparator (comparator link failures). With this
option enabled, the IIB will always report network link failures. Comparator link
failures will only be reported if the Comparator I/O Module implements Link
Failure Reporting. Refer to the hardware reference manual of the Comparator I/O
Module being used to see if it supports this feature (for example, Link Failure
Reporting is supported in the AIB module, but not in the CIB module).
This option is enabled by grounding connector J1 pin 4, the Link Fail Enable
input, and then resetting the IIB. When this input is grounded, the IIB no longer
provides monitor and control of its receiver 8 I/O lines (J1 pins 26, 27, 28 and 30).
Instead, the Link Fail output (connector J1 pin 30) is used to show the status of
communication links. If this output is HIGH, all communications are OK between
the IIB and its Comparator I/O Module and between the Comparator I/O Module
and the comparator. If either of these communication links break (a cable is
disconnected or a module is turned off), then this output will be driven LOW by
the IIB to indicate the link failure.

8. Mounting
Refer the reference 1, section Mounting Options, for details about mounting the
IIB module.
CAUTION
Make sure that any mounting screws used to secure unit to a bracket do not
protrude into the unit’s enclosure more than 1/8 inches from the bottom surface of
the unit.
Using a larger screw that touches the pc board inside the unit may damage the unit
when it is powered. Doing so will void the unit’s warranty.

Figure 11 - IIB / CEB Connection Example
The IIB connects to the CEB through two 16 I/O cards (cards A and B) Each 16
I/O card can handle only 4 receivers. The CEB must be configured so that the 16
I/O cards operate as comparator display boards. Table 7 shows the cross
connections needed between the IIB and the 16 I/O cards. Once these
connections are made, you need to install jumper JU6 through JU33 on each 16
I/O card.

IIB Hardware Reference Troubleshooting
CTI Products, Inc.
10. Troubleshooting
This table is a list of troubleshooting tips specific to the IIB module. For
additional troubleshooting tips, refer to the troubleshooting section found in the
Monitoring and Control Network System Manual, reference 1.
Due to the high percentage of surface-mount components the IIB is treated as a
field replaceable unit. If any system problems are the result of a malfunctioning
IIB unit, the entire unit must be replaced and returned for repair.
PROBLEM CAUSE
ERR LED is ON Verify that the module’s Group and Module numbers are valid.
Reprogram the unit address of the Comparator I/O Module that the IIB is
connected to. Also, verify that this is a valid unit address. Refer to section
6.1 for a description of this procedure.
Receiver 8 is not
