Introduction
The TIB TSAM Interface Module is part of CTI
Product's MCN™ Monitoring and Control
System. It connects a TSAM Transmitter
Steering Unit to the MCN Network. It extends
the status indication and controls for the
Transmitter Steering Unit over the network to
a remote PC display position.
The TIB Comparator Interface Module is
compatible with:
CTI's TSAM Transmitter Steering Unit
Motorola TAC, Spectra-TAC, and
Digitac Comparators
M/A-Com /G.E. Analog Voters.
JPS SNV-12 Voters
MCN Remote Comparator Display PC
Software
Selected Transmitter Status
The CIB module (without a TIB module)
provides the following comparator status per
site:
Vote (Receiver is Voted)
RX (Receiver is Receiving)
Dis (Receiver is Disabled)
Fail (Receiver is Failed)
The TIB module adds the following Selected
Transmitter Status indication to the MCN
system:
Tx (Transmitter Selected)
TX/Vote (Transmitter Selected
and Receiver is voted)
TX/RX (Transmitter Selected
and Receiver is receiving)
TX/Dis (Transmitter Selected
and Receiver is Disabled)
TX/Fail (Transmitter Selected
and Receiver is Failed)
Manual Transmitter Selection
The TIB module also allows the operator to
manually select a transmitter. The operator
simply moves the mouse over the transmit site
to be selected and clicks the left mouse
button. The TIB module selects that
transmitter on the TSAM unit. That transmitter
then has a "Tx" indication on the PC screen.
PC Display
The PC display features real-time transmitter
status monitoring. The receiver and
transmitter site names and screen positions
are user- configurable
System Options
The following are some of the MCN system
options available to work with the CIB module:
Quad Mounting Rack (1.75" high) for
mounting 4 CIBs or other size A MCN
modules
Wall-mount Brackets
AC Power supplies for 120 or 240 VAC
Network cables and terminators
I/O Cables and punch blocks

Typical TSAM Transmitter Steering System with TIB
How the System Works
The TIB module is associated with a CIB Comparator Interface
Module. (One CIB module is required per TIB module.) Each
TIB module can control up to 8 transmitters (1 TSAM unit).
The TIB module accepts TX Selected inputs from the TSAM
unit and passes the Selected TX information to the CIB
module, which then passes the information to the PC.
The TIB module accepts "Force Vote" signals from the CIB
module and sends TX Select and Force Vote signals to the
TSAM unit.
As shown above, the Operator Interfaces may be connected to
the network locally or remotely through leased-line or dial-up
modems.
Multiple TIB and TSAM Units
If a system requires more than one TSAM unit (for more than 8
transmitters), multiple TIB units are required, one per TSAM
unit.
Multiple Displays
The MCN System offers full parallel status and control at
multiple PC Operator Interfaces. PC Displays and Console
Displays may be mixed in a single system with some
limitations.
Dial-Up Applications
For maintenance purposes, the PC display can be used over
dial-up lines. Since the PC does not have to be dedicated, it
may be used for other applications when not monitoring the
comparator. Technicians can even diagnose after-hours
system problems from home using a properly equipped PC
and dial-up modem.
