X-ray On, X-ray Disable

Circuit/Mechanical Descriptions
The X-ray On Switch located on top of the Cross Arm cover sends an enable signal through the Power/Signal Interface PCB to
the X-ray Controller PCB to initiate an x-ray exposure. The X-ray Lamp lights when an exposure occurs.
The X-ray Controller PCB is the interface for the Generator subsystem to the ARCNET for control of X-ray generation and also
enables the status display on the C-Arm Control Panels and Workstation monitors. The PCB controls kV and mA generation and
regulation. The PCB also interfaces to the Handswitch and Footswitch.
The Fast Stop switches are located on the rear of the Cross-Arm Side Cover and are connected to the Power/Signal Interface
PCB. One set of the dual contacts of each switch removes power from the tube stator transformer and software immediately
stops x-rays. The other contact set removes +24VDC power from the vertical column motor K15 and K16 relays to prevent
motorized mechanical motion.
An HLF or FLUORO Footswitch command goes through an opto-isolator to the microprocessor on the X-ray Controller PCB.
This MODE switch command is also input to the X-ray Controller PCB and communicated to the Workstation via ARCNET.
The SECURITY line from the Footswitch or Handswitch is output from the X-ray Controller PCB as the X-ray Enable signal line to
the HV Supply Regulator PCB. A low on this signal line provides a shutdown capability via PWM U12 on this PCB. The shutdown
occurs when all PWM driver outputs to the Generator Driver PCB are asserted low.

X-Ray On, X-Ray Disable

The Generator does not receive drive signals unless both X-ray Enable and X-ray ON are asserted. X-Ray Enable is generated
by a hardware switch closure (top button, hand or footswitch), whereas X-Ray ON is generated by software. Both must be active
to allow X-Ray generation, which prevents a single fault condition from allowing uncommanded X-rays.
Status of these lines is displayed at LED DS2 on the HV Supply Regulator PCB. LED XRE shows a hardware switch closure
when lit and LED XRO shows when illuminated that software signal X-Ray ON is active.

Digital Logic Signal Levels

Logic signals that are connected from one PCB assembly to another, for example, will assume TTL logic levels, i.e., logical low is
≤0.8V, and logical high is ≥2.0V (in most cases, ≥4.0V.)
Critical logic signals will be transmitted from one board to another using a pull-up resistor on the destination board, and typically
none on the originating board, and will be so configured that in the event of an open-circuited connection, the high state input at
the destination board will result in a safe condition, e.g., if the FAULT signal originating on the Generator Driver PCB is active
high, and is configured to prevent X-ray generation at the destination HV Supply Regulator PCB, then absence of a connection
will cause the destination PCB to fail safe and prevent generation of X-rays. Alternatively, absence of a connection from the
collector of the transistor on the Filament Driver PCB which generates the GND_INTEG* signal, active low, will cause the pull-up
resistor on the destination HV Supply Regulator PCB to pull up this line to a logic high level and disable X-ray production.
Specific examples of this rule are tabulated below. All PCBs are listed here even though some are not described within this
section.
