5. 015 Status Output Functional Description When the Ethernet Controller is not armed the status output is always low near O V regardless of signals on the event input The status output will be high near 5 V ONLY when The unit is armed AND The unit is ready to record data is in Circular Buffer mode or has received a Start signal in Recorder mode AND The unit has not received an Event signal AND The unit s power status is within acceptable levels In Circular Buffer mode the status output will go high as the system is armed It will go low when the unit receives an Event signal any A D circuit stops functioning or if the system s power is outside of acceptable limits In Recorder mode the status output will remain low until the system is actually recording data The status output will go high when the unit receives a Start Record signal and all other diagnostic checks are within acceptable limits It will go low when the unit receives an Event signal the end of the recording time window is reached any A D circuit stops functioning or if the system s power is outside of acceptable limits Using the Event Input The SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller contains an isolated ESD protected contact closure event input The event input is available through both of the 19 pin connectors Connector pin assignments can be found in Appendix A This input provides a way to use a contact closure switch in harsh or noisy envir
6. 13000 30610 MAN Rev 3 SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller User s Manual May 2015 Basic Care and Handling SLICE PRO systems are precision devices designed to operate reliably in dynamic testing environments Though resistant to many environmental conditions care should be taken not to subject the unit to harsh chemicals submerge it in water or drop it onto any hard surface WARNING Electronic equipment dropped from desk height onto a solid floor may experience as much as 10 000g Under these conditions damage to the exterior and or interior of the unit is likely The SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller is supplied with calibration data from the factory DTS recommends annual recalibration to ensure that the unit is performing within factory specifications The SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller is not user serviceable and should be returned to the factory for service or repair When not in use or if shipping is required we suggest that you always place the unit in the padded carrying case originally provided with your unit Shock Rating The SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller is rated for 100 g 12 ms half sine duration in all axes Mounting Considerations The unit should be securely bolted to the test article or dynamic testing device to provide the best shock protection Mounting methods and hardware selection should be carefully calculated to withstand expected shock loading and facilitate proper grounding Check bolt tightness periodically t
7. Ethernet Controllers are considered modules for the purposes of power calculations Power Consumption Power off When connected to sufficient external power the Ethernet Controller will draw up to 500 mA for charging its internal battery and 500 mA per module for charging the internal batteries of connected SLICE PRO modules Power on When an Ethernet Controller is initially powered all sensor excitation sources signal conditioning electronics filter circuits and analog to digital converters are in a shutdown state The processor and support circuitry are always powered The processor will remain in a reduced power state when not performing tasks When the user runs a test set up the software automatically energizes the excitation sources and other circuits The current draw per module will increase to as much as 1 A when the system is fully armed and powering full bridge loads During data collection Once the system has been armed for data collection all circuits remain in a full power state until data collection is finished After the data collection routine has completed the system de energizes several circuits to minimize power consumption Internal Battery The Ethernet Controller contains an internal 7 4 V nominal lithium battery that operates as primary power or back up power should primary power fail When fully charged battery Capacity is sufficient to provide primary power and sustain full operation for 1 hour If input power
