Validation of MODICON 3-2 Receiver Board Operation

Receiver Setup Procedure

Set up the MODICOM 3/1 transmitter (see separate help document for detailed instructions)

Connect the power supplies to the MODICOM 3/2 receiver as shown below

MODICOM 3/1 and MODICOM 3/2 Power Connections

Ensure that the following initial conditions exist on the MODICOM 3/2 Receiver board:

a) MODE switch in FAST position

b) SYNC. CODE DETECTOR 'on/off' switch in OFF position
c) ERROR CHECK CODE SELECTOR switches to 'off' (A=0, B=0)
d) All four SWITCHED FAULTS to OFF position
e) PULSE GENERATOR DELAY ADJUST control fully clockwise

MODICOM 3/2 Initial Conditions

The MODICOM 3/1 transmitter and MODICOM 3/2 receiver are now set up for
correct operation.

On the MODICOM 3/1 board, connect:

1kHz output to CH0 input

2kHz output to CH1 input

Connect MODICOM 3/1 to MODICOM 3/2 as shown in Table below

MODICOM 3/1 (Transmitter) MODICOM 3/2 (Receiver)

TX Clock Output RX Clock Input
TX T0 Output RX SYNC Input
TX DATA Output RX DATA Input

Turn on the power supply.

Observe the display on the oscilloscope at the following test points on

MODICOM 3/1:

Transmitter CH0 (1kHz) at test point 10

Transmitter CH1 (2kHz) at test point 12

Test Points 10 and 12

Display the transmitter CH0 input (tp10) on oscilloscope channel 1, and use
this channel to trigger the oscilloscope.

Display transmitter TX Data Output (tp44) on channel 2 of the

oscilloscope.

This clearly shows the data stream being sent from the transmitter to the
receiver.

Vary the 1kHz and 2kHz amplitude controls (in the transmitter Function
Generator block) and note that the transmitted data varies.

Display the receiver CH0 and CH1 outputs (tp33 and tp36 on MODICOM
3/2 -see Figure 45).

Check that the two sinewaves have been successfully sent from the transmitter
to the receiver, and that each appears on the correct output channel.

Test Points 33 and 36

Vary the 1kHz and 2kHz amplitude controls on the transmitter, and observe
the effect on the receiver outputs.

This verifies that the MODICOM 3/2 receiver board is working correctly.
