About This Publication
This publication provides instructions for use by the system service personnel, to service the
Multinode Module. It will help you determine how to perform service required on the module and to
identify spare parts. It also provides disassembly/assembly instructions useful when replacing the
required part.
This publication is to be used in conjunction with the remainder of the TDC 3000X bookset.
This publication supports TDC 3000X software release 500 and CE Compliant hardware.
Any equipment designated as “CE Compliant” complies with the European Union EMC and
Health and Safety Directives. All equipment shipping into European Union countries after
January 1, 1996 requires this type of compliance—denoted by the “CE Mark.”

1.1 OVERVIEW
This manual provides detailed instructions for maintenance, test, troubleshooting, and
repair of the Multinode Module shown in Figure 1-1 (with front cover installed) and Figure
1-2. The Multinode Module will not have the front cover installed when mounting in
Micro TDC 3000 or LCN cabinets. The troubleshooting, disassembly, and assembly
procedures are effective down to the optimum replaceable-unit (ORU) level. An ORU parts
list is included and is keyed to a module-exploded view that is also used with the
disassembly and assembly procedures.

This manual also contains information about the EC compatible Ten-Slot Module. It
accommodates both the older and newer EC I/O board designs. The EC card file remains
the same in all other details except each I/O board has a faceplate which provides grounding
of the board and cable shield to the card file. The fan intake and exhaust openings on the
sides of the module are covered with a honeycomb wire mesh for EC Compliant protection.
The EC I/O card file is shown in Figure 1-2.

MODULE DESCRIPTION

2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Multinode Module is designed to mount either horizontally in a standard NEMA rack
or vertically in a cabinet (or tower) designed to stand vertically on the floor. Cooling is
provided by four fans in one side of the module enclosure. An integral power supply is
located at the bottom (or side) of the module.
Each Multinode Module supports up to four functional nodes in the TDC 3000 System.
Each node occupies a specific address on the Local Control Network (LCN). Figure 2-1
illustrates a typical Micro TDC 3000 System using two Multinode Modules in vertical
cabinets.
Circuit board slots are numbered from 1 to 10 starting at the bottom (nearest the power
supply). When the module is oriented vertically, the slots are numbered from right to left.
Nodes within a single Multinode Module are in a 3/3/2/2 arrangement, with slots 1 through
3 containing the first node, 4 through 6 containing the second node, slots 7 and 8
containing the third node, and slots 9 and 10 containing the fourth node.
The functional control boards are installed in the front card file of the module so that status
indicators on the boards may be viewed through the transparent cover. If an Input/Output
(I/O) adapter board (or paddleboard) is directly associated with a functional control board,
it is installed in the slot behind it in a card file at the rear of the module. Paddleboards
which do not perform an I/O function may also be installed in the rear card file in an unused
slot.

2.2.1
2.2.1 Multinode Module Node Configurations
Because of the limited board space, the boards used to construct various nodes must
contain only certain boards and be configured as shown in Table 2-1.
CAUTION
Power must be removed from the module whenever you are removing or installing any board,
including an I/O paddleboard. Be sure that an I/O paddleboard is installed in the correct slot;
some boards have only one slot that they can be installed in without causing damage. I/O
paddleboards plugged into the wrong slot can cause traces on the backplane to burn open.
In the following table, slot numbers are identified by a-b-c. Remember, in the Multinode
Module 3/3/2/2 arrangement, slots are grouped by node, therefore, a given node may
occupy slots 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8, or 9-10 to match slots a-b-c, or only a-b.
Table 2-1 — Node Configurations for Multinode Modules
Notes:(1) A TP485 I/O card is located in Slot 1 and 9 of the modules in the Micro TDC 3000.
(2) The TP485 in Slot 9 provides the interface to the twisted pair, short distance
(≤10 meters) TPLCN.
(3) The EPDG board set should be slots 3 and 6 with slots 2 and 5 empty.
(4) Standard AM is 4 Mw; optional is 8 Mw.
(5) Standard US is 4 Mw or 6Mw. 6MW is required for Universal Personality.
