WS1000 Remote – TABS 994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 iv

 1 Product Description
1.1 Overview
The WS1000 remote provides an economical and flexible means of
collecting small/large quantities of discrete alarm and status data, which
it converts to a simple, easily handled Telemetry Asynchronous Block
Serial (TABS) interface to complement many operation support
systems.
WS1000 mounts in an equipment rack or on a Main Distribution Frame
(MDF), thus allowing location as close as possible to the source of
discrete interfaces. This results in a large reduction in the wiring
required to collect alarm and status data. A reduction in wiring
eliminates the possibility of losing data through unknown, disconnected,
moved, or cut wiring.
WS1000 has two serial ports: Port 1 and Port 2. Port 1 serves as a
TABS host communications interface that can be equipped with an
optional 1,200-bps Bell 202T-compatible internal modem, which allows
locating WS1000 beyond the range of standard RS-422/RS-485
interfaces. Or if required by the application, serial Port 1 can be
equipped with an optional RS-422-to-RS-232 conversion board. Serial
Port 2 serves as a TABS data collection interface, allowing WS1000 to
combine data from other WS1000 TABS remotes or local TABS-based
Network Elements (NEs).
The WS1000 TABS units provide a combination of discrete
alarm/status inputs and discrete control outputs. The following WS1000
configurations are available:
„ 128 inputs/16 outputs, without modem, with/without alarm
summary
„ 128 inputs/16 outputs, with 202T modem, with/without alarm
summary
„ 64 inputs/8 outputs, without modem, with/without alarm summary
„ 64 inputs/8 outputs, with 202T modem, with/without alarm
summary
The WS1000 unit consists of a standard wire-wrap housing and a plug-
in module. The same housing accommodates all the different
configurations. The plug-in module is accessible from the front of the
WS1000 unit.
Using a digital connection or a modem in the first unit, multiple
WS1000 units can connect in a daisychain to share a single TABS host
interface port. Combining WS1000 units makes it possible to convert a

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Product Description 1-1

 maximum of 4,096 discrete inputs and 512 control outputs into a single
TABS interface.
The WS1000 architecture eases troubleshooting and repair. All WS1000
active components are located on one module. Front-panel LEDs
indicate when the unit has power, is functional, and is receiving/
transmitting data on the serial TABS ports.

1.2 Front-Panel Indicators

The following provides information about the WS1000 front-panel LED
indicators:
„ MPU RUN: Microprocessor Run – indicates proper
microcomputer initialization and operation. A hardware or
software failure has occurred if MPU RUN LED is Off after the unit
has powered up.
„ Serial Port 1 RX: Serial Port 1 Receive – LED momentarily
lights for each poll byte received from the host.
„ Serial Port 1 TX: Serial Port 1 Transmit – LED momentarily
lights for each response byte transmitted to the host.
„ Serial Port 2 RX: Serial Port 2 Receive – LED momentarily
lights for each response byte received from downstream units
reporting to the host.
„ Serial Port 2 TX: Serial Port 2 Transmit – LED lights for each
poll byte relayed to downstream units transmitted.

1.3 Applications
The WS1000 Remote collects discrete alarm/status inputs and generates
control outputs. The Port 2 serial interface can combine data reported by
other TABS-based remote equipment into a single TABS output.
When WS1000 receives a TABS command from the host on Port 1, it
transmits the command on Port 2 to other connected units (NEs). When
WS1000 receives a response from an NE on Port 2, it transmits the
response over Port 1 to the host or the next unit in the system. Operating
in this manner, WS1000 functions as a repeater/concentrator for other
TABS remote equipment.
Figure 1-1 illustrates a basic WS1000 TABS remote configuration.
When more alarm/controls are required, multiple WS1000s can form a
daisychain (RS-485) to allow a maximum of 4,096 discrete inputs and
512 control outputs.

1.5 Diagnostics and Configuration

WS1000 performs internal diagnostics each time it powers up. The
front-panel Port 1 RX LED lights during the Programmable Read Only
Memory (PROM) test, then the Port 1 TX LED lights during the RAM
test. The MPU RUN LED lights only after all powerup diagnostics have
successfully completed.
A DIP switch block on the front panel enables WS1000 configuration:
„ DIP switch segment settings enable the unit to respond to any of
the 32 available TABS addresses.
„ The two serial ports can operate in RS-422 or RS-485 mode at
1,200 or 2,400 bps. When the WS1000 has an internal modem,
Port 1 automatically configures to 1,200 bps. When configuring a
WS1000 that is in a daisychain to another WS1000 unit equipped
with a modem, configure serial port 2 for 1,200 bps.

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Product Description 1-4

 „ Another switch segment changes the last control output to an alarm
summary indication if WS1000 is equipped with the alarm
summary option (Table 1-1).
„ Two additional switch segments select line terminations for each
of the serial ports.
Installation contains more information on configuration switch settings.

1.7 Interfaces
This section provides detailed data on each of the WS1000 interfaces.
Included are detailed data for the parallel, serial, host port, and auxiliary
interfaces.

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Product Description 1-6

 A 32 x 10 wire-wrap terminal block on the front of WS1000 provides
access for all discrete inputs/outputs, serial ports, and modem
connections.

1.7.1 Discrete Interfaces

The WS1000 discrete inputs are referenced internally to the negative
battery input. Essentially, the inputs are single lines whereby an Off
condition exists when the input is open or tied to negative (–) battery.
An On condition exists when the input is tied to positive battery (return
or ground). If the source is a set of isolated contacts, positive battery
(return/ground) connections are available on the WS1000 front for
feeding one side of the contacts. Table 1-3 lists the discrete input logic
levels.

Table 1-3 Discrete Input Logic Levels

Input Power Logic Level Voltage

–24 Vdc 0 (Off) –15 Vdc through –30 Vdc or Open Circuit
1 (On) –8 Vdc through +5 Vdc
–48 Vdc 0 (Off) –15 Vdc through –60 Vdc or Open Circuit
1 (On) –8 Vdc through +5 Vdc

Discrete logic outputs use Form A contacts and operate in momentary

or latching mode. The mode is defined within the TABS control
command. Each discrete output is a normally open Single-Pole, Single-
Throw (SPST) isolated contact with both sides of the connection
individually available to the user. To generate a control, the contacts
close, presenting a closed loop to the far end. Ground connections are
available on the WS1000 front panel as a convenience for applications
where one side of the contacts needs a ground. The last control output
can also serve as a summary alarm output indication through a front-
panel DIP switch selection if the summary alarm option is installed.
That is, reception of any alarm input generates a summary alarm output.
The following describes the discrete status/alarm inputs and control
outputs.

1.8 Other Westronic Products

The following information briefly describes other Westronic products
that are available to meet alarm system needs. Call 972-235-5292 to talk
with a Westronic representative to learn more about these and other
Westronic Systems communications products.

1.8.1 C1000
The C1000 provides an economical, flexible means of collecting small-
to-large quantities (32 – 256 points) of discrete alarm and status data,
which it converts into a simple, easily handled TABS or TBOS interface
to complement many operation support systems.
Different versions of C1000 allow communications with a TABS or
TBOS host. C1000 can pass through polls for other addresses,
permitting C1000 units to form a daisychain for larger configurations
and combining telemetry data from C1000 and local NEs into a single
channel. In some cases, data is combined through a single modem.
The C1000 requires only one vertical unit (VU) or 1.75 inches in a 19-
or 23-inch equipment rack, allowing location as close as possible to the
source of discrete interfaces. This results in a large reduction in the

 2 Installation
2.1 Overview
This section presents information on how to install, configure, and wire
the WS1000 TABS remote. Initial discussion involves considerations/
precautions when handling Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS) and N-Channel Metal-Oxide Semiconductor
(NMOS) integrated circuits and substituting modules. Following that
are installation procedures for mounting the unit, setting straps for the
internal modem and discrete Input/Output (I/O) expansion, and
configuring the unit using the front-panel DIP switch. Concluding this
section is the wiring required for the various configurations and options.

2.2 Handling Considerations and Precautions

WS1000 modules contain CMOS and NMOS integrated circuits, which
maximize noise immunity and promote low-power consumption.
However, they are also Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) sensitive and,
therefore, some possibility exists that they can be damaged because of
high static voltage levels. Although CMOS and NMOS devices are
equipped with protection diodes, incorrect handling that allows
excessive static energy to enter the devices can still cause device failure.
These failures are not readily detected and, in time, can lead to
premature device failure.
Become familiar with the ESD procedures that follow. Packaging
containing CMOS and NMOS components have a label as shown in
Figure 2-1.

Static Sensitive
Maintain Antistatic Protection

Figure 2-1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Logo

Caution: Adhering to the following guidelines significantly reduces the
possibility of electrostatic damage on CMOS or NMOS components,
thus improving system reliability and keeping downtime to a minimum.

994-T013 Rev J June, 200 Installation 2-1

 „ Before removing or inserting WS1000 modules, always verify that
they are not carrying static charges. Always wear a personal
grounding device, such as an ESD heel or wrist strap.
„ When extracting a WS1000 module, always place it in an antistatic
bag or covering for transportation/storage.
„ Perform repair work on WS1000 modules in an antistatic work
station. All personnel performing repair work must be grounded
through wrist straps and antistatic matting in the work station.
„ Exercise extreme care when handling CMOS/NMOS components.
Do not to touch the pins and always place components in antistatic
foam for storage and transportation.
„ Ensure that desoldering tools have static reduction. Some
desoldering devices can actually generate large static voltages that
damage CMOS and NMOS devices.
The housing and power ground protect the WS1000 plug-in module
against 15-kV transients while it is in the housing.

2.3 Module Substitution

Note: Only qualified electronics service personnel should carry out
actual WS1000 module repair. Unauthorized repair may void warranty.
When returning a faulty module, describe the suspected problem, fault,
or symptom on the documentation that accompanies the module.
The following are general procedures to follow when replacing or
substituting WS1000 modules:
„ Turn power off or unplug the front power connector when
removing or inserting WS1000 modules. The boards are designed
to withstand removal and insertion with power on, but a highly
recommended practice is to remove the system power supply when
substituting/replacing modules.
„ Make sure the substitute board is of the same type (part number)
and contains the same switch and jumper setting options. Failure to
do so can cause module failure, point displacement because of
incorrect board addresses, communication failure with the host, or
other related failures.
„ Make sure replacement modules mate properly with the connectors
at the rear of the housing. Never force a board into position
because this can damage rear connectors in the housing or on the
module. Determine why the module does not easily plug into
position and take appropriate action. To plug a module into
position, firmly push with the thumbs on the lower portion of the

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Installation 2-2

 front. To remove a WS1000 module, simply pull forward on the
ejection handle until the module snaps free from the housing.

2.4 Installation Procedures

The following describes how to install WS1000 units into a permanent
location.

2.4.1 Mounting the Unit

WS1000 mounts into a 19-inch (48.3 cm) or 23-inch (58.4 cm)
equipment rack or can mount onto a distribution frame. Each WS1000
unit comes with a mounting bracket suitable for use with a rack-mount
adapter panel or distribution frame. You can order the 19-inch and
23-inch rack-mount panels for equipment rack installation. Figure 2-2 is
a template of the 19- and 23-inch panels.

A. 19-Inch Mounting Plate

B. 23-Inch Mounting Plate

Figure 2-2 19- and 23-inch Rack-Mount Panels

By design, the back edge of the WS1000 chassis slides down into the
metal right-angle mounting bracket and snaps into place, securing it to
the bracket.
The WS1000 unit requires a minimum of three rack-increment spaces
(5.25 inches or 13.3 cm). Use five rack-increment spaces (8.75 inches
or 22.2 cm), however, in situations requiring frequent removal of the
WS1000 housing after it has been installed. The two extra rack
increments (3.5 inches or 8.9 cm) allow the unit to slide up to disengage
from the mounting bracket. A maximum of two units can mount side-
by-side on any rack-mount panel.

2.4.2 Unit Inspection

Before powerup, remove the WS1000 plug-in module assembly and
confirm that the internal modem or expansion boards (if any) are seated

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Installation 2-3

 properly. The factory has preset all option straps. To verify jumper
options, refer to the tables and figures that immediately follow in
Internal Option Straps.

2.4.3 Internal Option Straps

2.4.3.2 202T Internal Modem PN 535-T005

The 202T internal modem comes in two varieties: PN 535-T005 and
PN 535-T016. Figure 2-4 shows the modem board physical layout for
Part Number 535-T005, Revisions A and B. Option straps on Revision
A and B boards determine the communication type and sensitivity
settings for the 202T internal modem. Modem sensitivity is set to
–36 dBm at the factory. If your application requires a different
sensitivity, set it 5 – 10 dBm below the input power level. For example,
if the input power is –17 dBm, set the sensitivity to –24 dBm. Revision
A boards have additional option straps to enable/disable analog and
digital loopback connections. Table 2-2 shows option jumper settings
for Revision A boards; Table 2-3 shows option jumper settings for
Revision B boards.

The squelch jumper, when inserted, disables the receive line while the
modem transmits. Install the jumper to enable squelch when operating
in 2-wire mode.
In a TABS application, set front-panel DIP switch Segment 7 to Off
(Automatic Carrier) when operating in 2-wire mode or when operating
in 4-wire mode with squelch enabled.
The Carrier Detect LED illuminates whenever the modem detects a
carrier. When operating in 2-wire mode, the LED blinks while the
modem transmits because the modem detects its own carrier regardless
of the squelch jumper (Z2) setting.

2.4.4 Installation Wiring

A decal inside the WS1000 front panel shows wiring information and
switch settings for the specified WS1000 configuration. Make
connections for discrete status inputs, control relay outputs, and serial
port I/O on the wire-wrap interfaces. The Ground (GND) pins tie to
ground internally. Each pin can hold two wrapped wires.
When connecting more than one WS1000 in RS-485 mode, make the
connection through the wire-wrap terminals on the front of each
WS1000 block. Designate one WS1000 to receive information from
Port 1 of all other WS1000 units. A maximum of 32 WS1000 units can
be bussed in this fashion. Refer to Figure 1-1, Figure 2-10, and
Figure 2-11.

between WS1000s and TABS
host system.
Maximum distance is 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) shielded cable or 1,000 feet (305 meters) unshielded cable.
2. This WS1000 is the initial unit for communicating with a TABS host. If the host is collocated with the initial
WS1000 (< 4,000 feet or 1,219 meters), use the digital I/O pin assignments: A30, B30, C30, and D30.
If the host is remotely located from the initial WS1000, use the 202T modem connection and the analog I/O pin
assignments: A31, B31, C31, and D31.
3. A maximum of 32 WS1000s can interconnect together. In this instance, only the initial WS1000 is equipped
with a modem.

2.4.5 Input Power Connections

Provide power from a power distribution panel, such as the Westronic
Power Distribution Block (PN 560-T008) shown in Figure 2-12, using
#14 – #24 AWG wire for the power and ground leads. The input voltage
range is –20 Vdc to –60 Vdc for nominal –24/–48 Vdc operation.
Remove the power fuse before inserting or removing the plug-in power
connector on the unit front.
The following apply to the Power Distibution Panel (PDP):
„ The PDP uses wire-wrap pins laid out in columns. All pins in each
column connect together on the back of the PDP.
„ If input power is applied on Pin A of any column, for example, the
other four pins (B – E) of that column then become outputs. Total
power-feed capacity of a single PDP is 12 WS1000s.
„ If more than four WS1000s receive power through the panel, use
#14 – #22 AWG solid wire to jumper the top row (Pins A)
together, observing column polarity as shown in Figure 2-12.
„ Fuse the PDP power input. The input voltage and the number of
powered WS1000s determine the fuse value. Use GMT or Type 70
fuses of the value shown in Table 2-5:

To power WS1000 up, install the appropriate fuse at the panel using
Table 2-5 as reference. After power is applied, the front-panel MPU
RUN LED lights and remains lit.
The WS1000 TABS unit is now ready for configuration according to
site requirements.

TABS has the ability to address a particular remote (in this case,
WS1000) using a number ranging from 0 through 31. The TABS
address scheme, known as the Monitored Equipment Frame Address
(MEFA), allows a maximum of 32 WS1000 TABS slaves to connect
through a single serial channel to a single master. Because each
WS1000 unit has a particular address, the master uses the TABS
message address field to identify which WS1000 slave is to accept/
respond to a TABS command. Only the slave addressed in the
command transmits a corresponding response message.
Monitored equipment contain one or more displays, depending on the
number of defined scan and control points. TABS supports a maximum
of 65,535 displays for each TABS address. The TABS input display is
known as Monitored Equipment Display Number (MEDN). WS1000
display numbers are fixed and cannot be changed. A WS1000 equipped
with fewer than 64 discrete inputs has Display 0 while a WS1000 with
more than 64 discretes has Displays 0 and 1.

2.5.1 TABS Address Number (Switch Segments 1 – 5)

The factory default switch settings are all switch segments Off. Setting
a segment in the On position enables the secondary function. Switch
segments S1 through S5 (Table 2-6) set the TABS address number that
the unit responds to on TABS Port 1.

2.5.2 Alarm Summary (Segment 6) and Serial Port (Segment7)

Interfaces
The operation of Segments 6 and 7 depend on whether WS1000 has the
alarm summary option (TABLE), which is discussed more fully in
Universal Annunciator Panel Option.
WS1000 Has the Alarm Summary Option
„ Segment 6 On makes the last installed control output serve as an
alarm summary output.
„ Segment 6 Off does not change the last control output (it remains a
standard control output).
„ Segment 7, on units without an internal modem, sets the electrical
interface for TABS serial Port 1 to either RS-422 or RS-485
operation:
• On sets Port 1 for RS-485 operation.
• Off sets Port 1 for RS-422 operation.
„ Segment 7, on units equipped with an internal modem, selects the
carrier operation:
• On sets the modem for Constant Carrier.

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Installation 2-16

 • Off sets the modem for Auto Carrier.
„ Segment 7 has no effect if WS1000 uses an RS-232 interface.
WS1000 Does Not Have the Optional Alarm Summary Option
„ Segment 6 On sets Port 1 to RS-485 operation.
„ Segment 6 Off sets Port 1 to RS-422 operation.
„ Segment 7, on units equipped with an internal modem, selects the
carrier operation:
• On sets the modem for Constant Carrier.
• Off sets the modem for Auto Carrier.
„ Segment 7 has no effect if WS1000 is not equipped with an
internal modem or uses an RS-232 interface.

2.5.3 Serial Port Interface Data Rate (Segment 8)

Segment 8 selects the data rate for Port 1 and Port 2 when WS1000 does
not use an internal modem:
„ Segment 8 On sets the data rate to 1,200 bps.
„ Segment 8 Off sets the data rate to 2,400 bps.
„ Segment 8 has no effect in WS1000 units equipped with an
internal modem.

2.5.4 Port 1 Line Termination (Segment 9)

Segment 9 sets the balanced line termination for TABS serial Port 1
when WS1000 has no internal modem:
„ Segment 9 On sets a 180-ohm termination for the following
conditions:
• Serial Port 1 connects in a point-to-point connection link
(RS-422).
• Serial Port 1 connects at the end of a multipoint connection
link (RS-485).
„ Segment 9 Off sets an open termination if Port 1 connects in the
middle of a multipoint connection link (RS-485).

994-T013 Rev J June, 2005 Installation 2-17

 2.5.5 Port 2 Line Termination (Segment 10)
Segment 10 sets the balanced line termination for TABS serial Port 2:
„ Segment 10 On sets a 180-ohm termination when serial Port 2
connects using an RS-422 link or terminates one end of an RS-485
bus.
„ Segment 10 Off sets an open termination.

2.6 Universal Annunciator Panel Option

The Universal Annunciator Panel provides simultaneous audible and
visual notification of alarms reported by a combination of a maximum
eight Westronic Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs), such as C1000,
WS1000, WS2000, and WS3000. The panel is equipped with an audible
annunciator, power LED, audible alarm disable switch, lamp test
button, alarm cutoff button, and eight individual alarm LEDs. You can
use the panel with the following WS1000 Part Numbers:
„ 594-T083
„ 594-T084
„ 594-T085
„ 594-T086

2.6.1 Mounting
The Universal Annunciator Panel is one Vertical Unit (VU) or 1.75
inches high and mounts in a standard 19- or 23-inch (using included
adapters) communications rack. The panel mounts flush with the rack or
has a front extension by positioning the mounting ears toward the front
or rear.

2.6.2 Electrical Connections

The panel connects to the last control relay output (8, 16, 24, or 40) of
the WS1000 to provide both audible and visual standing summary alarm
indications. Set WS1000 front-panel DIP switch Segment 6 to On to
disable the last control output and enable the summary alarm output
(see Alarm Summary (Segment 6) and Serial Port (Segment7) Interfaces
on Page 2-16 for more details on all the DIP switch settings.
Figure 2-14 shows the locations of all front-panel controls and
indicators and rear-panel connectors.

Caution: Exercise caution when making wiring connections to the rear
of the annunciator panel. Small bits of wire or other debris can fall into
units mounted lower in the equipment rack. Westronic is not
responsible for damage caused by debris falling into this or other
equipment.
TB1 is reserved for future expansion.
TB2 is an alarm summary output (normally open/normally closed
contacts and common) for use with an external unit. TB2 output, rated
at 2 Amps (24 Watts maximum) switching, provides an alarm output
any time the audible alarm activates.
Input power (–20 Vdc to –72 Vdc) connects to TB3. Pin 1 is +Batt, Pin
2 is –Batt, and Pin 3 is chassis ground.
Make alarm input connections at connectors WW1 (ALARMS) and
WW2 (GND). Table 2-7 shows the input connections. For example, a
possible connection for a WS1000 with 8 control outputs is as follows:
WS1000 Pin E13 (C8) to alarm panel connector WW1 Pin 2
(ALARMS) to light ALARM 2 LED
WS1000 Pin F13 (C8R) to alarm panel connector WW2 Pin 2
(GND) to light ALARM 2 LED
A WS1000 with 16 control outputs can possibly connect as follows:
WS1000 Pin A16 (C16) to alarm panel connector WW1 Pin 5
(ALARMS) to light ALARM 5 LED
WS1000 Pin B16 (C16R) to alarm panel connector WW2 Pin 5
(GND) to light ALARM 5 LED

2.6.3 Operation
The PWR LED lights green when power is properly applied and lights
red when the power leads are reversed. Verify that PWR is green when
applying power. Press the LAMP TEST pushbutton to test all LEDs.
When the annunciator panel receives a relay closure (alarm) from the
WS1000, the appropriate front panel ALARM LED lights red and the
audible alarm sounds. The alarm output is available at TB2 as normally
open, normally closed, and common points. You can use the alarm
output to indicate an alarm to another unit, such as an end-of-rack
indicator. The audible alarm sounds until disabled by the audible alarm
timer (available on units delivered after August, 1998), the alarm cutoff
(ACO) button is pressed, or the alarm input clears. The alarm does not
sound again until receipt of another alarm input. The ALARM LED
remains lit until the alarm input is removed.
Moving the AUDIO switch to the down position (DISABLE) disables
the audible alarm until returned to the up position (ENABLE) and has
no other effect on panel operation, including the alarm output at TB2.

2.7 Installation Check List

 3 Maintenance
3.1 WS1000 Startup Tests
During WS1000 powerup, WS1000 runs a series of diagnostic tests,
such as a Random Access Memory (RAM) test and a Programmable
Read Only Memory (PROM) checksum test, to verify microprocessor
integrity. While the MPU RUN LED is off during startup, the front-
panel receive and transmit LEDs for both serial ports help determine
failed startup tests. Port 1 RX LED indicates testing in progress for the
PROM checksum and Port 1 TX LED indicates testing in progress for
RAM integrity. Initially, the appropriate LED illuminates on each test.
If all tests pass, Port 1 RX or TX LEDs turn off (providing the serial
ports are not terminated) and the MPU RUN LED on the unit front lights
and remains lit as long as WS1000 has power.

3.1.1 PROM Checksum and RAM Failure

Port 1 RX LED remaining lit after the MPU RUN LED lights indicates
that the actual calculated checksum does not agree with the embedded
firmware checksum.
Port 1 TX LED remaining lit after the MPU RUN LED lights indicates a
fatal RAM failure, which in turn causes the MPU to disable unit
operation.
The RAM and PROM reside within the microprocessor chip on the
main board and are not repairable in the field. Remove the main board
from the housing and make sure that the microprocessor chip is seated
securely in its socket. If the chip appears to be securely in place, contact
the factory for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number to begin
the repair process.

3.2 WS1000 Serial Port Failures

The unit serial ports communicate using TABS protocol and require 4-
wire interconnection for proper RS-422 or RS-485 operation. Each unit
serial port has a receive and transmit LED to indicate data activity.
Table 3-1 through Table 3-3 refer to possible error indications derived
from the LEDs. Each table has an associated figure to illustrate the
connection. Table 3-4 describes the notes listed in the Trouble Notes
columns.
