Description

The Gigabit master control electronics (GMCE) board is a systems control board that evolved from the turbo master control electronics (TMCE) board. Because the GMCE board communicates with the workstation via a single Gigabit Ethernet cable (or two on dual-head devices—one for each GMCE board), the SCSI cable and the two serial cables are not needed.

Add to purchase

• Part number: 503-00675E

Where used:

Trendsetter and Achieve Series V devices (serial number TJxxx); and starting in 2020, Trendsetter Q1600 and Flexcel NX Wide 4260 devices (serial numbers TL2001 and higher)

• For Achieve devices, order 503-00675C until stock is depleted. Then order version D or E.

• For Trendsetter devices, order 503-00675D until stock is depleted. Then order version E. Do not use Version C on Trendsetter as its onboard carriage driver is only rated for 7A rather than 9A.

Description

The Emerging (Markets) Master Control Electronics (EMCE) board is a systems control board based on Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The low-level code is Linux-based, but this is transparent to the user and service activities and does not affect the firmware commands or software controls.

History

503-00675D: Made inactive with ECO CA28885 (Oct 24 2018), which replaced version D with version E, which supports EOS electronics on Model TSL devices.

503-00675C: Made inactive with ECO CA26285 (Sep 29 2016), which replaced version C with version D to strengthen the onboard carriage driver from 7A to 9A.

503-00675B: Made inactive with ECO IL24894 (Feb 22 2014), which replaced version B with version C. This fixes a bug where the THSB board could cause the EMCE to fail to boot.

• CAN or SPI communication link

• Distributed controlled AC power

• DC standby power

• Distributed controlled DC power

• Laser interlock system

• Motor interlock system

• SRV/OVR speed detection

• Emergency stop

• Flyoff

• SIO (Service Interlock Override> mode

Where used: 

Flexcel NX Wide-C imager, Generation News, Trendsetter 1600 platesetter, Trendsetter Series IV (TTxxx) 400/800, AL, AU, and News platesetters

Description

The power distribution board (PDB) distributes AC and DC power throughout the platesetter. It contains relays for turning on and off power supplies, vacuum pumps, and other peripherals. It contains some output drivers for relays and door loop sensors, and has a 3A stepper motor driver. The PDB includes an emergency stop loop and two safety loops. In Trendsetter Series IV, each door interlock is monitored on two channels using + and - voltage.

• Safety loop 1: Imaging engine

• Safety loop 2: Media autoloader

History

ECO CA20738 replaced version C of this board with version E. Both of these versions are functionally identical and fully interchangeable.

Description

The Power Distribution Board (PDB) is designed to distribute AC and DC power throughout an output device. It contains relays for turning on and off power supplies, vacuum pumps, and other peripherals. It contains some output drivers for relays and door loop sensors, and has a 3 A stepper motor driver.

Checking voltage supply test points helps to isolate problems resulting from connection and power supply failures. Reseat all connectors on the PCB assembly before checking voltage supply test points.

History

10-4112G: Made inactive with ECO CA01303, which introduced 10-4112H with the Molex connector on J14 changed from 10 pins (part number 10-4339A) to 16 pins (part number 220-00260A).

10-4112H: PDB board 10-4112H and higher now have a 16-pin connector on J14 (SCON2), which requires a new terminator connector when used on a Trendsetter. The terminator is NOT used on Magnus VLF.
Made inactive with ECO CA13491, which introduced 10-4112J with the new on-board flash memory.

10-4112J: On version J boards, do not install Boot code lower than version 1.16 and PDB firmware lower than version 1.26.
Made inactive with ECO CA13462, which introduced 10-4112K to address a problem with the Magnus VLF APL (which uses the same PDB board).

Note: When upgrading to 10-4112K from version G or older, order both the PDB board (10-4112K) and the new CANbus terminator 220-00260A when used on a Trendsetter. The terminator is NOT used on Magnus VLF.
To check the board version remotely, use command list version all and look for this line:
PDB (10h): BOARD 5.01, MAIN 1.40, BBR 1.03, BOOT 1.16
For boards prior to rev H, the version will be lower than 5.00.

10-4112L: For more information see FCO CA19949. This version of the PDB (10-4112L) has upgraded relays and circuitry to eliminate the weld issue. Previous versions of the board can remain in service using PDB Firmware 1.48 upgrade (512-00645A) to monitor the relays. However, if the SIB is being removed from a Magnus VLF, then the PDB must be replaced with a version L board.
