Primary Monitor Console (PMC) - TM-5-6350-275-100022

TM 5-6350-275-10

a. Primary Monitor Console (PMC). The Primary Monitor Console (PMC) is the control center that consists of the

Primary Monitor Console (PMC) Cabinet, printers, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and operator workstations.

There are two versions of the Primary Monitor Console (PMC). The large is depicted in Figure 1-2, and the small is

depicted in Figure 1-3.

NOTE

Access to the Primary Monitor Console (PMC) Cabinet is limited to maintenance personnel and the

Systems Administrator.

(1) Primary Monitor Console (PMC) Cabinet (Large). See Figure 1-4. Location of components on the small

Primary Monitor Console (PMC) Cabinet are similar.

(a) Monitor (Item No. 1). The monitor is a 12 inch monochrome display with green characters on a dark

background. It tilts from 15 to 45 degrees and swivels. The keyboard is attached to the monitor.

(b) +5 VDC Power Supply (Item No. 2). The positive 5 volt direct current (vdc) power supply is a device built

into the cabinet. It provides operating power to the poller multiplexer and the Data Encryption System (DES) Printed

Wiring Assembly (PWA).

(C) +12/-12 VDC Power Supply (Item No. 3). Similar to item 2, the dual 12 vdc power supply provides

operating power to the poller multiplexer and the Data Encryption System (DES) Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA).

(d) Quad Switch (Item No. 4). The quad switch switches control of the system between the Primary Monitor

Console (PMC) and the Remote Status Monitor (RSM).

(e) Intelligent Control Switch (ICS)(ltem No. 5). The Intelligent Control Switch (ICS) monitors the health of

the Primary Monitor Console (PMC). If it detects a Central Processor Unit (CPU) failure, it switches control of the system

from the Primary Monitor Console (PMC) to the Remote Status Monitor (RSM).

(f) Power Supply, 15 vdc (Item No. 6). The 15 vdc power supply provides operating power for the fiber optics

module. The 15 vdc power supply is used on the large Primary Monitor Console (PMC) only.

(g) Fiber Optlcs Module (Item No. 7). This module provides fiber optic interface between the Primary Monitor

Console (PMC) and the Remote Area Data Collector (RADC).

(h) Intelligent Poller Multiplexer (Item No. 8). This is a Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA) that configures the

Primary Monitor Console (PMC) for up to 256 Remote Area Data Collectors (RADCs), and to the Data Encryption System

(DES) encoder/decoder Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA).

(I) Data Encryption System (DES) Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA) (Optional) (Item No. 9). This Printed

Wiring Assembly (PWA) is connected to the multiplexer Printed wiring Assembly (PWA) by a ribbon cable. The Printed

Wiring Assembly (PWA) receives data from the multiplexer, encodes the data, and transmits the encoded data to a

remoted Data Encryption System (DES) module located in the Remote Area Data Collector (RADC). The Data

Encryption System (DES) Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA) also receives encoded data from the remoted module, and

decodes and sends the data to the multiplexer Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA).

(j) Laptop Computer (Item No. 10). The laptop computer is an 80386 processor used to enroll/program the

remote Data Encryption System (DES) Module and the Stargate Printed
