MCN Hardware Modules

HIB-IP 8002

The HIB-IP 8002 Network Interface Module connects a PC running the MCNRCD software to a remote MCN network over an IP network. It is compatible with Motorola Solutions, Inc. Astro 25 Radio Network Infrastructure (A7.13 and up). It brings the status indications for the devices connected to the MCN I/O modules back to the PC over an IP (LAN or WAN) network. It also allows the operator to control the I/O modules.

Data Sheet

IIB

The IIB Input/Output Interface Module connects a parallel operator display device (such as a console) to the MCN Network. It allows the console operator to Force-Vote and Disable receivers. The IIB is used with AIB ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator Interface Module to provide voting status indications (Vote, Receive, Disable, and Fail) to a console. The IIB can also be used with CIB Comparator Interface Module to extend the comparator display and control for other comparators (Digitac, Spectra-TAC, TAC, and EGE).

Data Sheet

AIB

The AIB ASTRO-TAC Interface Module provides status indications (Vote, Receive, Disable & Fail) from a Motorola ASTRO-TAC comparator to remote PCs or consoles. It allows users to Force-vote and Disable receivers on the comparator.

The AIB is compatible with:

• Motorola ASTRO-TAC Comparators with firmware 1.7 or higher
• Motorola ASTRO-TAC 3000 Comparators

Data Sheet

CIB

The CIB Comparator Interface Module connects a voting system comparator to the MCN Network. It extends the comparator lights and switches over the network to a remote display position (either a PC or a console display).

The CIB Comparator Interface Module is compatible with:

• Conventional Systems
• Trunking Systems
• Motorola Digitac, Spectra-TAC, and TAC Comparators
• JPS SNV-12 Voters
• M/A-Com / Ericsson / G.E. Voters
• Doug Hall Electronics 4RV/2 Voters

GPIO

General Purpose Input/Output Modules are available with combinations for opto-isolated inputs, SSR (Solid-State Relay) outputs, or mechanical relay outputs. They can be used to monitor and control a wide range of devices at remote sites, including:

• Generators
• Door sensors & intrusion alarms
• Door locks & gate controls
• Power fail sensors
• Temperature alarms
• Microwave/T1 link status
• Tower lights

Data Sheet

GPIO-CVT

The GPIO-CVT Module is a special version of the GPIO-1212A module. It converts 12 inputs to 12 outputs. It may be used for buffering signals, level translation, and/or logic inversion. It can also be used to convert N.C. circuits to N.O. circuits, and N.O. circuits to N.C. circuits.

Data Sheet

IOB

The IOB Input/Output Interface Module connects I/O devices (such as relays) to the MCN network. The IOB is used with an MCN Network Interface to create an I/O control system. This module interfaces directly with the RYB-8 Relay Board to provide hi-reliability sealed relay contacts for audio switching. See below for details.

RYB-8 Relay Board

The RYB-8 has the following features:

• 8 DPDT hi-reliability sealed relays (configured to switch circuit pairs), rated for low-level (dry circuit) audio circuits, up to 2A
• Selectable 600 Ohm terminations for the Normally Open, Normally Closed, or Common circuits
• LEDs to indicate energized relays
• Control Connector (relay coil inputs) is pin-compatible with the IOB Module above
• Jumpers to control adjacent relays with a single input

Rack Mount Panel
for RYB-8

This EIA 19" rack-mount panel has spaces to mount four RYB-8 Relay Boards on one side, and a Hot-Standby Power Supply kit on the other. This panel requires 6 RU (10.5") of rack space.

Data Sheet

Relay Power Supply

The Relay Power Supply provides 12Vdc to power the relay coils of the RYB-8 Relay Board. The input voltage to the Relay Power Supply can vary between 100 and 240 Vac.

Data Sheet

Relay Power Distribution Board

The Relay Power Distribution Board provides distribution and monitoring for dual redundant power supplies in systems where a power supply failure cannot be tolerated. The outputs from redundant power supplies are independently connected to inputs on the Relay Power Distribution Board. Each supply input on this board is separately fused, and has LEDs to indicate their status.
