GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Enhanced Micro TDC3000 Control System consists of two cabinets (also called

“towers”) which together contain the electronics, two cartridge disk drives, and a history

module. The cabinet electronics support up to four color monitors, four keyboards, and

optional touchscreens or trackballs. A printer is also connected to the system.

Two electronics modules, one housed in each tower, provide all of the electronics for the

Enhanced Micro TDC3000 Control System (excluding peripherals). These modules,

called Multinode Modules, are each capable of holding four TDC 3000 Nodes.

Although the Advanced Process Manager (APM) is part of the Enhanced Micro TDC3000

Control System, it is not described in this manual. See subsection 1.5 for a list of

publications that discuss the Advanced Process Manager and the Universal Control

Network (UCN).

Figure 1-2 is a representation of some of the nodes used to construct a sample Enhanced

Micro TDC3000 Control System.
