POWER ON/OFF - magnetpladelageret tændes/slukkes
automatisk, når systemet tændes/
slukkes.
Der findes en separat afbryderkon-
takt på pladelagerets bagpanel, men
den er til brug i service øjemed og
betjenes normalt ikke af operatø-
ren.
1) READY - denne indikator lyser, når plade-
indikator (grøn) lageret er driftsklart. Det varer
cirka 8 sekunder fra systemstart,
førend indikatoren tændes.
\f
2) FAULT - denne indikator lyser, når plade-
indikator (rød) lageret ikke kan arbejde på grund
af en fejlsituation. Tilkald en
servicetekniker for at få fejlår-
sagen klarlagt.
1_._2_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _B_e_j_t_e_n_i_n_g_s_f_o_r_l_ø_b_ 1.2
Alle betjeningsprocedurer er automatiserede, operatøren skal så-
ledes blot overvåge, om pladelageret arbejder uden fejlindikati-
on, dvs. at FAULT indikatoren ikke lyser.
1_._3_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Y_d_r_e_ _f_o_r_h_o_l_d_ 1.3
De ydre forhold skal svare til de krav til omgivelserne, som
magnetpladelagerudstyr generelt stiller (jf. med betjeningsvej-
ledningen til "disc pack" magnetpladelagre). Operatøren har ingen
vedligeholdelsesopgaver direkte på pladelageret, men skal sørge
for, at de ydre forhold i det daglige er forskriftsmæssige.

POWER ON/OFF - the drive is switched on/off
automatically when the system is
switched on/off.
There is a separat on/off power
switch at the rear panel of the
drive. However, this is for service
purposes only and should normally
be left untouched by the operator.
1) READY - the indicator is lit when the drive
indicator (green) is operational. It takes about 8
seconds for the indicator to come
on after the power-up of the
system.
\f
2) FAULT - the indicator is lit when the drive
indicator (red) becomes inoperational due to a
fault condition. Call a service
technician to diagnose the fault.
1_._2_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _P_r_o_c_e_d_u_r_e_s_ 1.2
All the drive operating procedures are automated and so the
operator only has to monitor the drive condition, e.g. that the
FAULT indicator does not light.
1_._3_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _C_o_n_d_i_t_i_o_n_s_ 1.3
Working conditions must be equal in quality as is generally
required for disc drive equipment (compare with the operating

maintenance tasks directly at the drive, but must take care that
the everyday working conditions are satisfactory.

POWER ON/OFF - the drive is switched on/off
automatically when the system is
switched on/off.
1) LOAD/RUN - in the LOAD position a cartridge
can be loaded/unloaded. With a
cartridge loaded, switching to the
RUN position will start the drive.
2) LOCK - this interlock flag is visible when
flag the door is locked.
3) LOAD - indicates that a cartridge can be
indicator (white) loaded/unloaded.
4) READY - indicates that the drive is
indicator (yellow) operational.
\f
5) CHECK - indicates that the drive is inope-
indicator (orange) rational due to a fault condition.
Call a service technician to diag-
nose the fault.
6) POWER - indicates that power is switched
indicator (red) on. With power off, the door is
locked.

1_._2_._1_ _ _ _ _ _S_t_a_r_t_ 1.2.1
After having switched on the system, operate the cartridge disc
drive as follows:
1) LOAD/RUN switch is set to LOAD position. Check that the LOAD
indicator is lit.
\f
2) Open the disc drive door and insert the cartridge. Close the
door.
3) Set the LOAD/RUN switch to the RUN position and wait for the
READY indicator to light. The drive is now operational.
1_._2_._2_ _ _ _ _ _R_u_n_ 1.2.2
During run time, the operator must check that no fault condition
arises, i.e. the CHECK indicator is not lighting. If the CHECK
indicator ligths, a service technician should be called to
diagnose the fault.
1_._2_._3_ _ _ _ _ _S_t_o_p_ 1.2.3
In order to stop the drive proceed as follows:
1) LOAD/RUN switch is set to LOAD position. Wait for the LOAD
indicator to ligth.
C_A_U_T_I_O_N_: Do not proceed before the LOAD indicator is lit - the
cartridge must be allowed to stop its rotation, as is
indicated by the lighting of the LOAD indicator.
2) When the LOAD indicator is lit, then open the disc drive door
and remove the cartridge. Either load another cartridge and
perform a new start, or just close the door again.
N_o_t_e_: The disc drive door never should stay open neither when
the drive is stopped as this will alow dust to collect
inside the drive.

Diskettens beskyttelseshylster fjernes. Sørg for, at den rigtige
side vender mod venstre før isætning. Normalt er det siden med
etiketterne, men begge sider kan være den "rigtige", når der be-
nyttes en to-enkelt-sidet diskette (jf. 1.3).
Disketten skubbes forsigtigt ind til fast anslag i diskettesta-
tionen og døren lukkes i. Sørg for, at døren er rigtig låst.
Beskyttelseshylsteret skal opbevares så tilsmudsning undgås, mens

Press the push bar towards the right to open the door.
Remove the diskette from the storage envelope. Make sure that the
correct diskette side is facing towards the left before loading.
\f
Usually the side with the label has to face towards the left.
However, in case a double-single-sided diskette is used either of
the sides may have to face towards the left depending on the
logical storage area which is to be used (cf. 1.3).
The diskette is carefully slid into the drive until solidly
seated in the drive and the door is closed. Make sure the door is
properly latched.
Protect the empty envelope from liquids, dust, and other foreign
objects.

Betegnelsen "cartridge" svarer nærmest til det danske udtryk
"kassette". Da betegnelsen kassette imidlertid er knyttet tæt til
brug af magnetbåndudstyr, er her valgt at benytte cartridge
direkte i forbindelse med magnetpladelagerudstyr.
1_._1_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _P_a_n_e_l_ 1.1
Figur 1: Magnetpladelageret.
POWER ON/OFF - pladelageret tændes/slukkes automa-
tisk, når systemet tændes/slukkes.
1) LOAD/RUN - med kontakten i LOAD stilling kan
vippekontakt der isættes/udtages en cartridge.
Når en cartridge er sat i og kon-
takten sættes i RUN stilling, star-
ter pladelageret.
2) LOCK - dette skilt kommer til syne, når
skilt pladelagerets dør er låst.
\f
3) LOAD - indikatoren lyser, når der kan
indikator (hvid) skiftes cartridge.
4) READY - indikatoren lyser, når pladelageret
indikator (gul) er driftsklart.
5) CHECK - indikatoren lyser, når pladelageret
indikator (orange) ikke kan arbejde på grund af en
fejlsituation. Tilkald en service-
tekniker for at få fejlårsagen
klarlagt.
6) POWER - indikatoren lyser, når pladelageret
indikator (rød) er tændt. Pladelagerets dør er
låst, når strømmen til pladelageret
er afbrudt.

1_._2_._1_ _ _ _ _ _S_t_a_r_t_p_r_o_c_e_d_u_r_e_ 1.2.1
Når systemet er tændt, betjenes pladelageret som følger:
1) LOAD/RUN kontakten sættes i LOAD stilling. Se efter, om LOAD
indikatoren lyser.
2) Pladelagerets dør åbnes, en cartridge sættes i, og døren luk-
kes.
3) LOAD/RUN kontakten sættes i RUN stilling og pladelageret
starter. Når READY indikatoren derefter tændes, er pladelage-
ret driftsklart.
1_._2_._2_ _ _ _ _ _D_r_i_f_t_ 1.2.2
Under drift skal operatøren holde øje med CHECK indikatoren, dvs.
se efter om der opstår fejlsituationer. Hvis CHECK indikatoren
tændes, tilkaldes en servicetekniker for at få klarlagt fejlårsa-
gen.
1_._2_._3_ _ _ _ _ _S_t_o_p_p_r_o_c_e_d_u_r_e_ 1.2.3
Pladelageret stoppes på følgende måde:
1) LOAD/RUN kontakten sættes i LOAD stilling. Afvent derefter, at
LOAD indikatoren tændes.
A_D_V_A_R_S_E_L_: fortsæt ikke før LOAD indikatoren er tændt - magnet-
pladen skal have mulighed for at stoppe sin rotation
a_f_ _s_i_g_ _s_e_l_v_ (hvilket indikeres, når LOAD indikatoren
tændes).
\f
2) Når LOAD indikatoren er tændt, kan pladelagerets dør åbnes og
cartridge>n tages ud. Enten sætter man så en ny cartridge i
pladelageret og starter påny, eller man lukker blot døren
igen.
B_e_m_æ_r_k_: Pladelagerets dør må aldrig stå åben, heller ikke når
pladelageret ikke benyttes, i så fald vil der samles
en masse urenheder indeni pladelageret.

Dette skrift beskriver, hvordan man kan generere RC BASIC sy-
stemer efter behov v.h.a. DOMUS-operativsystemet kørende på
flexible disce. I forbindelse med genereringen vil det være nød-
vendigt, at brugeren har kendskab til DOMUS, macroassembleren
(DOMAC), linkage editor (LINK) og text editor (EDIT), der henvi-
ses til ref. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 5.
P.g.a. den begrænsede plads, der er til rådighed på discetter,
leveres ikke et totalt DOMUS-system, men kun de mest nødvendige
utility programmer. På discetterne findes drivere (styreprogram-
mer) til så godt som alle RC3600/7000 enheder. På den enkelte
installation vil der kun være behov for et begrænset antal dri-
vere, og brugeren bør fjerne de drivere, som ikke er nødvendige
(se kap. 5). Som eksempel kan nævnes, at hvis der på den aktuelle
installation er en multiplekser af typen RC3682, så kan man fjer-
ne de to drivere, som benyttes i.f.m. multipleksere af typen
RC74060-63.
DOMUS-systemet er delt op på to discetter, UNIT 0 og UNIT 1. UNIT
0 skal altid placeres i flexible disc unit 0, og hvis man har be-
hov for at anvende UNIT 1, skal denne placeres i flexible disc
unit 1. Man kan køre med DOMUS på UNIT 0 alene, idet der på denne
findes EDIT og DOMAC. UNIT 1 kan udskiftes efter behov.
Det skal nævnes, at discetter oprindeligt er tænkt som medier be-
regnet til simpel input/output. Når de anvendes som egentlige
disce i.f.m. et disc-operativsystem (DOMUS) kan de virke ret
langsomme. F.eks. tager det ret lang tid blot at indlæse (loade)
et program fra en discette (for indlæsning af EDIT er tiden så-
ledes ca. 40 sekunder).
\f
Da discetter har en begrænset levetid, må det meget stærkt
anbefales, at brugeren med mellemrum kopierer sine discetter, (se
kap. 8). D_e_ _f_ø_r_s_t_e_ _k_o_p_i_e_r_ _b_ø_r_ _t_a_g_e_s_ _s_t_r_a_k_s_ _e_f_t_e_r_ _m_o_d_t_a_g_e_l_s_e_n_ _a_f_

De to system discetter sættes i de respektive enheder,
writeprotection slukkes, og maskinen autoloades på sædvanlig vis
evt. v.h.a. den lille floppy-bootstrap-strimmel.
Efter ca. 10 sekunder kommer udskriften
DOMUS Rev. XX.XX
og efter yderligere ca. 20 sekunder
'S
på hovedkonsollen.
Herefter skrives
CAP8
og systemet er klar.
Før man kan benytte filer, som ligger på unit 1, skal man udstede
kommandoen
INIT 1

Et utility program, som ligger på unit 0 kan anvendes umiddel-
bart, f.eks.
DELET BASIC. (fjerner filen BASIC fra unit 0).
Et utility program, som ligger på unit 1 kan anvendes på følgende
måde:
BEGIN
DRIVE 1 (CATLI loades fra unit 1)
CATLI :1 (lister kataloget på unit 1)
END
På grund af den begrænsede plads, er kun programmerne DELET,
CATLI og DISK (samt EDIT, LINK og DOMAC) inkluderet i systemet.
Øvrige almindeligt anvendte funktioner, som f.eks. CREATE, COPY,
PRINT og TYPE kan udføres v.h.a. text editoren. (Man kan i øvrigt
også fjerne filer v.h.a. EDIT: GK<filnavn').

Når et BASIC-system skal genereres, skal der altid inkluderes et
parametermodul. Dette modul er et lille assemblerprogram, som
indeholder informationer om, hvilke enheder (terminaler og andre
ydre enheder) der skal benyttes i det pågældende system.
På UNIT1 findes en fil, APAR (se app. D), der kan benyttes som
udgangspunkt i forbindelse med dannelse af et parametermodul, som
beskriver den ønskede konfiguration. Parametermodulet skal ligge
på UNIT0, og det dannes v.h.a. text-editoren:

FINIS EDIT
Det dannede parametermodul assembleres v.h.a. DOMAC, f.eks.:
DOMAC BIN.BZ00L LIST.LPT AZ00L
Denne assemblering tager 8-10 minutter.
I parametermodulet skal følgende parametre specificeres afhængigt
af den ønskede konfiguration.
SIDE 1:
NUUSER: Her angives tallet af terminaler, der skal anvendes som
BASIC-terminaler. (Hovedkonsollen kan alternativt benyt-
tes som en almindelig ydre enhed, som kan benyttes fra de
øvrige terminaler.
MATER: Her angives nummeret på MASTERTERMINALEN (se ref. 6). Num-
meret angives som 32, 33, 34 og 35 for hhv. hovedkonsol,
anden, tredje og fjerde konsol. Hvis en multiplekserter-
minal skal være MASTER, angives dette ved nummeret på
den multiplekserkanal, hvorpå den pågældende terminal sid-
der.
\f
DEVICE-CONFIGURATION: Her skal der for hver enhed, der kan benyt-
tes fra BASIC, angives, om den pågældende enhed
skal benyttes i det aktuelle systemeller ej. For
hver enhed sættes en variable til 1, hvis enheden
skal inkluderes, og ellers til 0. De enheder,der
i øjeblikket kendes, er .LPT : linieskriver
.PTR : strimmellæser
.PTP : strimmelhuller
.MCDR: stregmarkeringskortlæser
.CDR : kortlæser
.TTY : konsol, der kan anvendes som almindelig
ydre enhed hvis den ikke anvendes som
BASIC-terminal.
.SP : seriel printer
Bemærk, at hvis man skal benytte en linieskriver
af typen RC3637/3638 (dvs. en matrixskriver, som
fil i et BASIC-program, er navnet SP.
kontroller), skal dette angives ved .SP = 1, og i_k_k_e_ .LPT
= 1. Når matrix-skriveren benyttes som fil i et BASIC-
program, er navnet SP.
KWORDS: Her angives, hvor mange K ord lager, der er i den ma-
skine, det genererede systemskal køre i.
SIDE 3:
TERMINAL TABLE: Denne tabel indeholder 3 ord for hver BASIC-ter-
minal i systemet:
1. ord: terminalens nummer (32, 33, 34 og 35 for hhv. 1.,
2., 3. og 4. konsol,mulitplekserkanalnummeret
(0-7) for øvrige terminaler). MATERTERMINALEN
skal angives som denførste i tabellen, iøvrigt
er rækkefølgen uden betydning. ,
2. ord: I systemet med RC3682-multiplekser angives i
dette ord karakteristika (hastighed og paritet)
for de enkelte multipleksorkanaler. Disse oplys-
ninger angives v.h.a. de konstanter, der er de-
fineret på side 1 i parametermodulet. F.eks.
angives 4800 baud, even parity som S4800 + EVP.
\f
I systemer med en anden type multiplekser, sættes
dette ord lig med 0.
3. ord: Skal altid være 0.
Tabellen skal afsluttes med et ord, der indeholder værdi-
en -1.

Når et BASIC-system skal linkes, kan dette ske v.h.a. LINK, (se
ref. 7), der kan kaldes i en kommandofil. På unit 1 ligger en
masterfil, LMAST, der kan benyttes som udgangspunkt ved dannelse
af en fil, som kan anvendes til linkning af det ønskede system.
Kommandofilen skal ligge på UNIT0, og den dannes ved hjælp af
text-editoren:

De øvrige kan vælges efter brugerens ønske.
En "færdig" kommandofil kan f.eks. se således ud:
\f
Selve linkningen tager ca. 1 time, og den kan kun finde sted,
hvis der er ca. 150 frie sektorer på UNIT0 og ca. 110 på UNIT1.
Hvis der ikke er plads nok, vil der komme en fejludskrift efter
ca. 45 minutter.
Linkningen afsluttes med udskriften
0253 *** WARNING, LINKAGE EDITOR
Denne "warning" skyldes, at der mellem de linkede moduler er
nogle referencer, som ikke er "løst", dvs. nogle externals, der
ikke er defineret som entrypoints i et andet modul. Der kan
f.eks. være tale om
ER26, IOTEX, TEXTS hvis fejludskrifter ikke er inkluderet
BATCH, CHTIM, MCDRC hvis batch-modul ikke er inkluderet
MAT hvis matrix-modul ikke er inkluderet
PRU hvis print using-modul ikke er inkluderet
.CALL, .CAL1, .CAL2 hvis call-modul ikke er inkluderet
\f
AMXOU, SPCON, CDRCO,
PTPCO, PTRCO, LPTCO afh. af konverteringstabeller.
TIME, PA15 altid udefinerede.
Det færdiglinkede system vil ligge på UNIT1, og det kan indlæses
v.h.a. BOOT-kommandoen:
CLEAR
BEGIN
DRIVE1
BOOT <fil':1 <fil' som angivet ved første parameter
END til LINK
Denne indlæsning tager 1-2 minutter, og herefter kører BASIC som
beskrevet i ref. 6, Dvs. at de 2 DOMUS-discetter bør fjernes og
evt. erstattes med discetter, som indeholder logiske disce.
Der kan spares en del link-tid, hvis man en gang for alle linker
COPS/BASIC. Total-systemer kan herefter linkes på ca. 35
minutter.
COPS/BASIC kan linkes separat v.h.a. følgende kommando:
\f
Kommandofilen er opbygget uf fra LMAST. Bemærk, at 6 parameter
til LINK er ændret (skal her være R). Linie 5 - 13 svarer til
linie 13 - 22 i LMAST. Denne linkning tager ca. 50 minutter.
Ud fra denne COPS, kan man danne totalsystemer v.h.a. følgende
kommand:
Det ses, at parametre og CALL-rutiner indgår i denne kommandofil
(linie 12, 13). Linie 14 angiver navnet på en fil, som indeholder
hele COPS/BASIC. Bemærk, at der skal være ca. 150 frie sektorer
på UNIT0 og ca. 120 på UNIT1. Det kan derfor være nødvendigt at
fjerne nogle filer, før denne linkning udgøres. Linkningen tager
ca. 35 minutter.

På UNIT0 ligger et program, FDCOP, som kan anvendes ved kopiering
af discetter.
DOMUS UNIT0 monteres i flexible disc unit 0, og en tom discette
monteres i flexible disc unit 1. WRITEPROTECTION-lampen slukkes
på begge enheder. Systemet startes op, og FDCOP indlæses. Når ud-
skriften FLOPPY DISC COPYING REV. XX.XX kommer, tændes WRITEPRO-
TECTION på unit 0.
Programmet udskriver FROM UNIT:, og der svares FD0. TO UNIT:
besvares med FD1. Når kopieringen er færdig (6-8 minutter)
fjernes de to discketter.
Nu monteres DOMUS UNIT1 i flexible disc unit 1 og en tom discette
i flexible disc unit 0. WRITEPROTECTION tændes i unit 1 og sluk-
kes i unit 0, og der kopieres fra FD1 til FD0.
Efter endt kopiering kan der monteres sytemdiscetter, og DOMUS
kan startes.
Hvis der kommer fejludskrifter under kopieringen, er denne ikke
gået godt, og man må forsøge igen, evt. med andre discetter.

The RC3741/42/43 Band Printers are connected to the RC3600
Central Processor via the programmed data-transfer channel.
During each output instruction one command or character may be
transferred to the printer.
A buffer in the printer holds the characters for a full line.
Upon receipt of a print command, the contents of the buffer is
printed, and the buffer is cleared.
At any time the status of the printer may be sensed using a data
input instruction.
A 12 channel Electronic Vertical Format Unit (EVFU) facilitates
control of the vertical positioning of the paper. The EVFU may be
loaded from tape or directly from the program (DAVFU).

Figure 1: Data format (X = irrelevant).
\f
b<1-7' defines the character to be printed according to the
relevant character-sequence for the print band used.
Several different print bands (i.e. character sets) are
available. For complete information on these bands, refer to
"Print Band Definitions" 44RT-1977.
The ASCII control codes LF, VT, FF, and CR (12, 13, 14, and 15
octal) causes the print buffer to be printed and cleared. The
following action will then be carried out:
LF: The paper is advanced one line
VT: Skip to channel 3
FF: Skip to channel 1
CR: No action

The line printer is controlled by the RC3600 Central Processor
using programmed transfer. The printer accepts I/O instruction
with device code 17 octal. Second device code is 57.
The Interrupt Disable is controlled by interrupt priority maskbit
12.
The Start and Clear functions (F = 01 and F = 10) are used in the
controller. Start will set the Busy and clear the Done Flag. The
Clear function will clear both Busy and Done.
The controller is able to answer an interrupt acknowledge
instructions (INTA) if the conditions are fulfilled, i.e. it is
the device physically closest to the processor on the I/O-Bus
requesting an interrupt. If so, the device code of the controller
will be transferred to the accumulator addressed by the INTA
instruction.
The I/O Reset instruction (IORST) will reset all controllogic,
including Busy, Done, and Interrupt Disable.
The state of Busy and Done can be sensed by I/O skip instruc-
tions. \f

The Load Byte Command loads the character contained in the Data
field (bit 9:15) into the Line Buffer.
The first character loaded is stored for column one. The second
for column two, etc. until the print line buffer is full. All
exess characters are neither stored nor printed, although the
controller continues to accept them.
If the character is a Line Feed, a Vertical Tab, a Form Feed or a

of the line buffer is printed before the function specified by
the character is performed. Then the line buffer is cleared.
At the completion of the command Busy is cleared and in the case
of a LF, VT, FF or CR Done is set.
If the status of printer prevents the execution of the command it
is terminated immediately.

The printer only operates on seven bit characters so in general
bit 8 of the data field is ignored. However, if the data field
bit 9:15 contains a LF, VT, FF or CR, bit 8, if set, prevents
Done to be set at completion.
The Load Byte command is also used to load the Direct Access

The data field is, as indicated in fig. 6, devided into four
sub-fields:
X, bit 8: Don>t care
M, bit 9: Mode select. If zero, bit 12:15 is interpreted as a
channel no. If set, bit 12:15 specifies a number of
lines.
DAVFU, bit 10:11: If the printer is strapped to operate in the
tape EVFU mode, these bit are irrelevant.
If the printer is strapped for DAVFU mode, these bit
are used when loading the VFU buffer.
Normally they should be zero.
Refer to 2.3.
n, bit 12:15: Specifies either the channel number to which the
paper is advanced, or the number of lines that are to
be skipped.
If the print buffer was not cleared before issuing a Paper

The load procedure is described below.
1. With the printer On-line and no data in the print buffer, send
the Start DAVFU load command (section 3.4.1).
2. Then send as many groups of 2 byte EVFU tape data words as
required to describe the VFU tape (180 words max) (section
3.4.2).

The Load Byte command (section 3.2.1) is used to load the EVFU
tape buffer after the printer has been placed in the load DAVFU
mode.
Two bytes are used to describe one Format Tape line.
Fig. 10 shows the layout of two sequential load commands loading
one line of VFU data. As the byte contained in the Data field of
the Load Byte command may be identical to a LF, VT, FF or CR
(without having the function of these control codes), bit 8
should be set in order to avoid Done to be set.

The OCP803 Power and Autoload Panel provides a means of switching
main power to the system and start the initial program load
(autoload) function.
The main power is controlled by a turn-key, which can be left
locked in any of the three positions: Off, Manual and Automatic.
In position OFF, main power for the entire system is switched
off. Generally this also includes front-end processors and
peripheral devices such as magnetic tape drives, diskdrives etc.
In position MANUAL, main power is switched on, and the initial
program load function can be started by pushing the AUTOLOAD
button on the OCP803.
Position AUTOMATIC will disable the AUTLOAD push-button, and
instead, the autoload function is automatically executed whenever
a power low condition has been detected within the RC8000 system
(not including front-end processors and peripherals).
Three indicators are provided on the OCP803 front panel: Power
OK, Run and Autoload. These indicators are controlled by the CPU,
and reflects the status of the system.
The POWER OK indicator is lit if all AC and DC voltages of the
RC8000 system is within an acceptable interval surrounding the
nominal values.
The RUN indicator is lit if the CPU is in the normal run state,
and the AUTOLOAD indicator will inform the operator that the
system is executing an initial program load function.

The electronics of the OCP803 is contained on the AAB801 printed
circuit board. It is powered directly from the main supply, using
an onboard transformator and series regulator.
The AAB801 is galvanic isolated from the rest of the system-elec-
tronics by means of opto-couplers.
From the CPU, the AAB801 receives the two status signals Power OK
and Autoload. The received Power OK signal (or the locally
generated equivalent) will, if false, cause the autoload command
lines to be activated.
After the Power OK signal has become true, the autoload command
lines remain activated for one second. Then they are released,
but, if the Autoload status signal has not yet been set, they are
reactivated for 5 msec. every 10 msec. until the Autoload status
has been set.
By means of the turn key either the manual push button switch or
the opto-couplers of the AAB801 is selected to control the
Autoload command lines to the CPU.

The VDC201/291 connects up to eight RC850 Video Displays to an
RC3502 via one CIRCUIT connection wire.
It handles polling of all eight displays and DMA transfer of data
to/from RC3502. Retry of block-transfer on "soft-errors" is done
by the controller itself without disturbing the CPU.

The controller must be mounted in one slot in the CPU-chassis.
The physical position of the controller relative to other I/O
devices on the bus depends on its device number. The general
rules for installation I/O-devices is:
a. The priority chains must not be broken i.e. all slots between
CPU and controller must be occupied (controllers, memory or
"blind" connectors).
b. A controller must never be placed to the right of another
controller with a lower device number. The higher the device
number the closer it should be placed to the CPU.
The controller device number is dependent on the actual
installation environment and to which group of displays it is
connected.
4_._2_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _S_w_i_t_c_h_e_s_ 4.2
The device no. can be set in increments of two by the six
leftmost switches in pos. 115 (S1, S2, S3). With the
switchsetting shown the controller will occupy device number 18
and 19.
\f
Mode switches M0 and M1 are used as follows:
M_0_: 0: Normal position, no effect.
1: Microprogram will loop in its initialize routine after
power up. For testpurpose only.
M_1_: 0: Normal position. Two flag bytes at start of each
transmit frame.
1: Around 5 mS of flags at the start of each transmit
frame.
Has the effect of reducing the poll-rate which is
needed for some of the tests.

The "CIRCUIT" multidrop line may be looked at as a single line
balanced bus. It must be terminated at both ends by 120 ohm
resistors. The resistors present in outlets along the line must
be removed. The controller outlet and the (up to) eight display
outlets may be placed in any order along the line.
Controller and displays must be connected to their outlets by
unterminated cables of no more than 5 m length.
An example of how VDC 201/291 may be connected to three displays
is shown in fig. 2 next page.
