Section # TEST or STATUS RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

1-1 KEEP ALIVE STATUS: Note: - This status is the necessary step to take in account a
“VS" voltage demand of power-up by the button “I" of the console. There is a
drawing of the console at page 5/6 of SM.
HINT: All name of voltage signal with S at the end (for instance
+15VS) must be present in the keep alive

THEORY OF SEQUENCE OF KEEP ALIVE STATUS (Etat de


Veille in French).

1) 300PL9 receives the incoming voltage from mains filter via Fuses
300-F1 & 300PL2.
2) From XJ10 300PL9, the incoming voltage goes to J3
300PL17.See SCHEMATICS book 300PL17 2/3.
3) The DC voltage across R26 (11 watts) is sent to the LVPS
300PL7.
This DC voltage supplies 300PL7 (300PL7 is not in the SCHEMAT-
ICS book, look at CAL024 in the SM).
Amplitude is approximately 320 Volts for incoming line of AC 240 V.
4) Output voltage from 300PL7 is sent to 300PL17 and energize K1.
See SCHEMATICS 300PL17 1/3
On 300PL17 + 15VBF: DS4

Note: These 3 leds are lit even if F1 F2 F3 are blown.


- 15 VBF: DS8 + 5VBF: DS6
5) 300PL17 distributes the “VS" voltage to 300PL6 via the cable
between J1 300PL17 & J9 300PL6.
The EPLD U16 on 300PL6 will send the "_LVS_PRE" at the power-
up request.
6) The cable between J4 300PL6 TO J4 300PL9 provides the +
15VS to 300PL9. Presence of + 15VS
is necessary to power-up. (in fact + 12V from regulator U1). See
SCHEMATICS 300PL9 5/8.

IN SUMMARY THE CORRECT STATUS OF KEEP ALIVE IS:


On 300PL17: Neon DS2 (parallel to K1 coil) DS10 must be lit. Leds
DS4 5 6 7 8 DS9 must be lit.
On 300PL9: red DS1 must be lit (SCHEMATICS 5/8 D6). Green
DS4 & DS5 must be lit.
Notice that this + 15V is not the one at input of regulator U1.

- If indicator “STOP" (OFF) of the Senographe Console is lit, go to


section 1-2.

- If indicator “STOP" (OFF) of the Senographe Console is not lit, go


to section 1-1-1.

Section # TEST or STATUS RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

1-1-1 Keep alive status: Note: There is drawing of the console at page 3/6 of IST008 in SM.
300PL17 & 300PL7? . Check if DS10 neon lamp on 300-PL17 LV DISTRIBUTION Bd is
lit:

# ACTION 1) If neon DS10 is not lit,


check Fuse F4 on 300PL17 (SCHEMATICS 2/3)
check the presence of incoming line (AC) voltage on INPUT termi-
nals of 300-S1 fuses holder (The voltage entrance is at the lower
part of the fuse holder IF AC Mains voltage is not present, check
wiring on 300-PL16 MAINS FILTER BOARD
Check also ROOM breaker.

# ACTION 2) If neon DS10 is lit,

Look at DS2 300PL17.If the LED is not lit, it means one of the three
voltages from 300PL7 are not OK. Check cable between output of
300PL7 & J4 of 300PL17

>>> If DS2 300PL17 is lit, go to section 1-1-2 to continue checking


of “Keep alive status".

1-1-2 Low Voltage Power Sup- VERY IMPORTANT:


plies (LVPS) 300PL17 THE + 5 VOLT AMPLITUDE IS VERY CRITICAL AT THE TIME OF
+5V & -15V POWER UP.
The + 15 V and - 15 V are not adjustable but are dependent of the +
5 V amplitude.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: The difference of the + 5 Volts (at TP39


300PL17 1/3) between the Keep alive status and standby (system
powered) is approximately 250 mV.

IF "+5V" IS LESS THAN 4.9 VOLTS in the keep alive status (mini-
mum load),
IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO POWER-UP the seno.
At this stage, adjust TP39 to 5.2 VOLTS. (TP42 is GND)
Beginning 97, another power supply 300PL7 will be introduced: fully
compatible.

Note: With some power supplies, it is difficult to adjust in a way to


get + 5 Volts on the CPU (when the system is powered. In this case
check the length of the fuse F2 on 300PL17.
The fuse holder allows to put a “long" fuse, but: USE ONLY A
SHORT DESIGN FUSE.
(because the drop of voltage across the fuse is smaller).

HINT: All names of voltage signals with S at the end (for instance
+15VS) on any boards must be present in the keep alive status.

IMPORTANT: approximately from January 97 a new 300PL9 is


introduced in production. The former board is 21418775. The “new"
board is fully compatible from the point of view of connections with
its environment. Major reason of modification: Remove the pres-
ence of incoming line on 300 PL9 when the seno in not powered,
but in keep alive status.
The differences between the two boards are:
- Implementation of test points on the new one.
- Implementation of X2 relays to cut the “phase" AC_N_PH2. See
SCHEMATICS book 300PL9 page 1/8 coord E4
- Addition of two neons:
1) AC_ON to warn about the incoming line presence at the
“entrance" of the board (when the seno is in keep alive status or in
standby).
2) DC_BUS_0N
See IST003 in SM page 4/4 for general layout of 300PL9. The lay-
out of the new board is similar to the one shown ( Prepa & graphy
jumpers are more between J1 & J7 in the new layout).

HINT: There is a very quick way to short circuit the emergency loop
to locate the cause of why the system does not power. !!!!!!!!!! CAU-
TION WARNING: there are two design of 300PL9 boards:
First one: BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS BOARD. When the
SENO is in “keep alive status" the potential of incoming line is still
present on the board.
Second one: introduced beginning 1997: The major modification of
this board consists of an additional relay X2 to remove the incoming
potential on the board in keep alive status. On this new design
there are test points. The new board can replace the first one: fully
compatible with the environment.

PROCEDURE TO CHECK IF POWER UP IS OK by shortcutting


the emergency loop:
Before starting, make sure that the + 12 V on 3OOPL9 is present
(see SCHEMATICS 5/8). The +12 V is provided by the regulator
U1which receives +15 V (schematics at 1A).

# ACTION: Remove the cable connected to XJ5 of 300PL9 (con-


sole connection). Look at SCHEMATICS 5/8.
Make a jumper between pin 19 of XJ5 board side and the ground
(take the upper right screw which secure the board to the chassis
for the 300PL9 with no test points and TP1 for the new design of
300PL9. (pin 19 is B_ON signal).

>>> to locate pin 19 of J5, go to section 1-2-4.


# ACTION: Press the ON button on 300PL9. The system must
power-up.
CAUTION: The stop button on 300PL9 is of course inactive
(because the emergency loop is shunted)
>>> if the short circuit of the loop allows to power-up, go to section

connected. Reminder: there is a new 300PL9 board introduced in production
beginning 97, but no change about the connection of the capa.

GOAL OF THE SIMULATION TO REMOVE THE CAPA: Eliminate


the effects of eventual short circuit on the DC bus outside 300PL9
(particularly on 300PL10: HV inverter).

THEORY: At the beginning of power- up the rectifier bridge CR15


CR16 on 300PL9 at E9 must be supplied through resistor R85 250
watts. If this resistor is opened, there is no voltage across
the DC-BUS, and the power-up sequence is stopped by the system.

# ACTION: Open the main fuse holder (to remove the keep alive
status) and measure with an ohmeter across this resistor. See DR
30 in SM. The drawing of 300PL9 in 3/4 is the layout of the
“old" board 2141877. If the resistor is OK, the measured value is
approximately 100 ohms.
If the resistor is opened, the measurement must be 22 megohms
after 10 seconds in one direction and a very high resistance in the
other direction (+ -).

Note: This resistor is used to power the seno (current limitation dur-
ing the first seconds) and to discharge the DC-BUS at the power-
off.

If the power-up seems OK in this configuration, the cause is proba-
bly a short circuit outside 300PL9 on the inverter board.

THEORY REMINDER: If the DC_BUS does not reach 160 volts in a


timeout of 2.9 sec the power-up sequence is interrupted.

In the case of a “very poor" movement, there are three causes:


1) The arm is not correctly balanced (covers are not in place, bucky
is not on the image receptor)
2) The elevator motor is damaged.
3) There is “dur mecanique" in the column movement

4 PREPARATION (Theory) In application, there are three exposure modes. Of course, the user
must select one (choose one) of them before
making the preparation.

1) MANUAL MODE: The user selects KV value and mAs value.

2) AEC MODE: The user select only the KV and the Auto Exposure
Control terminates the
exposure when the optical density target is reached.

3) AOP MODE:: The system automatically chooses the technique


of exposure (KV value & filter)
according to the computation performed at the end of the pre-expo-
sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST STEP OF EXPOSURE: PREPARATION.

At the preparation the system must: 1) Activate the rotor function. 2)


Activate the heater function.
3) Activate the bias function.

The preparation is authorized only if the red inhibition led is off (see
IST008 3/6 illust 2: Led
at the right upper corner of the console).

>>> If DS2 300PL6 8/14 (overload) turns on, go to section 4-3-2.


If DS3 300PL6 8/14 (open filament) turns on, the cause can be:

1) Q1 or Q2 are in short circuit: check of the two transistors:


On 300PL11 1/3 Measure the DC voltage between TP8 & TP11:
DC_BUS (source in 300PL9 1/8 F1).
Measure between TP8 & TP10. The voltage must be DC_BUS
divided by two. If not replace 300PL11.
2) There in no load at the T4 secondary (filament opened or HV
cable no connected).
HINT: There is no danger for the heater inverter to load the second-
ary by a short circuit (look at SM CAL001 3/6 for pin identification.
3) The output on the inverter is opened (heater transformer primary
is not supplied)

Check the connection of cable between 300PL11 J2 & the HV tank.


Also check that heater transformer
is not open (disconnect cable connected to J2 of 300-PL11) and
measure with an ohmeter
between pins 3 & 9 for Track1, pins 3 & 12 for Track2)

It is possible to load (simulation to check if heater inverter is OK) the


inverter by a short circuit.
However wave shape is very different but in this simulation we are
looking for Heater detection in the test.
For this simulation make a jumper between anode of CR4

Look at SCHEMATICS 300PL11 1/3
If the detection of current in the primary of the heater transformer is
less than (?) the inverter is stopped immediatly by the EPLD. Con-
sequently in this case, there is only one pulse at each test activa-
tion.
In fact if we activate the test several times, one time Q1 is controlled
and Q2 the next command.
The duration of the gate pulse is approxi 80 micro sec if the heater
function is OK.
When there no sufficient detection by the secondary of T3 the pulse
duration is only 25 micro sec.

PROCEDURE TO VIZUALIZE THE GATE COMMAND: !!!!!!!!!

5-2-1 ARCING: includes also a F10/F9/MAINT/MAINT/GENE/HV/HV


cause of S02 message
A) DURING HV TEST:

If activation of the HV test generates arcings (“tube" spits).


The cause is due to the X-ray tube or the HV tank or the HV cable.
To determine what is the cause:
1) Disconnect the HV cable from the HV tank, put some oil.
Run the HV test at different HV values. If there is no arcings
detected it means the cause is the X-ray tube or the HV cable.
2) If the HV tank is ok (determined by config 1).
Reconnect the HV cable to the tank. Disconnect the HV cable from
the housing tube.
Set the cable in a safety position (far from any risks to touch the
equipment or People.
Very carefully, run the HV test again. If there is no arcing in this
configuration, the X-ray tube is the arcing cause.

B) IN APPLICATION MODE: S02 MESSAGE.

One of the cause of arcing in application (when the HV test does


not generate arcing message ) is due
mA too high. Explanation is that there is a detection of mA max (low
Level security). Consequently
the inverter is stopped for about 20 ms and then the CPU re-starts
the command. After seven (7) attempts,
the CPU stops the exposure and generates a S02 message.

HV signal timing & 006/ TO HV:
003
Timing of “HV" signals from beginning of exposure.

SCW: (Security Cut Wire) means no current is detected in the pri-


mary of HV transformer.
Therefore no HV can be present.

KV_SUP_5: means a current is detected in the primary of HV trans-


former, but no HV is detected
across the internal blinder in the HV tank.

HV_OK: means the actual KV reaches the KV ref. The time of sta-
tus change of this signal depends
of the DC_BUS voltage and tube load. The timeout to generate the
error is 006/003 is 20 ms.
(The occurrence of this error is very low).

TIMEOUT_REGUL: is an error generated if the actual KV does not


reach the KV ref in a timeout of 8 ms.

. Connect a scope to the test point pin 9 of R7 on 300PL8


. If HV_OK doesn't switch to “1" before 20ms after XRAY_ON, but
no timeout regul replace 300-PL8 Bd.

EXPLANATION OF KV_SUP_5 signal: This signal is a safety to
stop the inverter if there is no HV
detected at the internal divider inside the HV tank in a time
approximately 1ms after beginning of exposure (or HV test)

5-2-4-3-1 Timeout_regul: DC_BUS THEORY: This signal is YES (bad status) for two reasons:
measurement & KV regu- 1) When the actual kv does not reach the reference in a time out of
lation 8 ms after beginning of exposure
2) During exposure when more than four cycles are not enough to
reach the reference.

Evidently this signal has more risk to occur at the maximum of


power (30KV with 100mA) because the
actual voltage of the DC bus can be to low. For reminder, the DC
Voltage is Approximately 1.4 times the
incoming line. During exposure, the drop of the DC bus is bigger if
the line resistance is high.

So, Compare the status of this signal in each of the following 3 con-
figurations:

1) Make an exposure In application mode 30KV GF. (3 KW)


2) Make an exposure in application mode 22KV SF.
3) Run the HV test (Reminder: The tube filament is off in the HV
test).

IF... WARNING WARNING WARNING: FOR EQUIPMENT WORKING
WELL, THIS TEST IS DANGEROUS IF the inverter output is in
short circuit (hardware configuration to run the “short" test) and the
DC bus voltage is present on 300PL10.
The reason is that the inverter operates at maximum frequency until
you release the second trigger.
The SHORT CIRCUIT test is not dangerous in any configuration
because the IGBTs are controlled by burst.

PROCEDURE TO CHECK THE IGBT gate commands:

This check is difficult to perform if your scope in not performant,


because if the inverter is not OK the
system sends only one pulse command.
The period of the command pulse is only 2 micro sec. Use X-RAY
signal to trigger the scope.
Beginning of the pulse on gate transformer is about 15 micro sec
after the X-RAY_ON signal.

Note: Gate commands are much easier to visualize in the short cir-
cuit test because there are an
pulse train during 500 micro sec but ONLY if the inverter is OK. If
the inverter operation is OK,
there is no interest to troubleshoot the gate commands!)

offset < 2400 Hz.
037/003 is generated for offset value out of this window.
Average normally found is between 1300 & 1400 hz.
Of course in AEC/AOP exposure, this offset is subtracted from the
PM current integration value.

1) From program manager, open this application ONLY ONE TIME


(one window). If by mistake the application
is opened a second time (another window) the laptop will display
messages like: “No more table

In this case you need to click on " OK "

8-2 INSITE: TSG when no A) NO CONNECTION TO THE GENERIC EDM: (The following
connection to the generic equipment is installed mostly in the USA)
EDM & multi room 1) Verify power is applied to the Generic EDM. Check the power
adapter kit (USA) indicator on the front of the EDM to
the right of the power switch. Verify that the EDM AC input power
selection switch, on the back of
the EDM, is set to the proper input power.
2) Check to make sure the phone line is connected to the RJ-11
telephone jack labeled “Line” on the back
of the EDM. The modem will not pick up if the phone line is plugged
into the jack labeled “Phone” on
the back of the EDM.
3) Verify that the hard drive light comes on, and then goes out after
three minutes, when the power to
the EDM is turned on. If the hard drive light is always on or off, the
EIDE disc controller board may
have become loose in the mother board socket. Remove the top
cover of the EDM and check to make
sure the controller board is seated properly. Check the controller
board carefully, it is difficult to
determine if the board is properly seated. At this time, check to
make sure that all of the other boards
and connections are seated properly. Replace the cover and power
up the EDM.
4) If the hard drive light is now flickering, wait 3 minutes, then try
connecting to the EDM again. A hard
drive light always on or off after this point will require the replace-
ment of the EDM. If the hard drive
and EDM seem to be in working order and there is still no answer,
verify that the phone line is active.

B) MULTI-ROOM ADAPTER KIT TROUBLESHOOTING:


1) Verify that the opto-isolator model 287 is used at the connection
to the EDM. The DTE/DCE switch must be set to " DCE" on the
model 287.
2) Verify that the opto-isolator model 255M is used at the connec-
tion to the Senographe.
The DTE/DCE switch must be set to “DTE" on the model 255m.

holder). AOP 023/006 (actual mA less than 50% of reference) is generated during
exposure.

THEORY: Inside the HV tank, the secondary of bias transformer is


loaded by a resistor R1 of 51.1 K 10 Watts. If this resistor is not con-
nected (opened, or poor soldering) the voltage is much higher than
the reference. For more theory look at Theory operation chapter.

SYMPTOM OF THIS PROBLEM: CAL002 (bias calibration) does


not work. Param ALPHA is much less than the default value (can be
40 times less) if previous calibration has been made with the pb of
opened secondary of bias voltage transformer.
If you have this symptom replace the HV tank. See job card SM DR

Do not forget to write default values of ALPHA & BETA in the install
menu before performing CAL002 (SM).

MAGNIFICATION VIEWS: To reduce the “dose" in mag view a new
cassette holder is available from beginning 97. This new cassette
holder has no top cover. Part number is 2174361.
WARNING: If this cassette holder with no top cover replaces a cas-
sette holder with top, Perform again CAL007 & CAL014.
-------------------------------------------------
------------------------
AOP: Effect of mechanical thickness: With introduction of 800T,
there is an improvement in AOP. The mechanical detected thick-
ness determines parameters for pre-exposure, BUT this thickness
is also taken in consideration for exposure parameters. In other
words AOP will choose a different exposure technique (KV,filter)
for two breasts with identical dose received during pre-exposure,
but different mechanical thickness.

With 700T, there is no thickness detected. The default value for


AOP is 5 cm and 50% composition.

# MESSAGE SIGNIFICATION CAUSE RECOMMENDED ACTION

I29 I29 EXCES- Reminder: AEC/AOP is very similar to the


SIVE mAs DMR.
FOR THIS I29 is always the result of a S03 message
MODE (aborted by AEC) and is a message dis-
played in AOP selection only.
That means S03 & I29 are displayed alterna-
tively on the console.
The amount of mAs necessary to repeat the
same exposure is too important in the mode
selected by the user. Correction is: “switch to
a different mode".
What is a mode: contrast, standard dose or
AEC ?
For the same breast, in AOP, the mode using
the most mAs is contrast. Dose mode uses
the least & standard mode uses an intermedi-
ate value.
Therefore if the customer got an aborted
exposure in dose mode, the only way to get a
successful exposure is to try using AEC with
31 or 32 V. IF mAs is 999, check CAL007.
ANOTHER CAUSE:
When I29 appears at each exposure for very
small absorption (for example 30KV 1cm
plexi) the cause is no IPM feedback from the
phototube (bad phototube, HV PM is not
actually across the phototube even if the volt-
age is OK on 200PL5 board.

During the first days of seno use by custom-

Most of the time when it is not an operator

same as the DMR console.
Do not forget that it is possible to connect on

# MESSAGE SIGNIFICATION CAUSE RECOMMENDED ACTION

S03 S03 EXPO- Reminder: AEC/AOP are very similar to the


SURE DMR. Consequently the causes are similar.
ABORTED BY 1) IN AEC MODE: At the very beginning of
AEC exposure , in function of the dose read by the
photocell, the CPU calculates the mAs value
needed to get the OD target. If the predicted
value is greater than the available mAs (heat
capacity limit) the CPU stops the X-ray com-
mand.
2) IN AOP MODE: The system makes a pre-
exposure (approx. 15 ms) with KV track filter
in function of mechanical thickness data of
compression. In function of the dose read by
the photocell the CPU chooses a new config-
uration as needed. If the predicted mAs value
in the new configuration is greater than the
available mAs (heat capacity limitation), the
CPU stops the X-ray command.
+++ Note: This error occurs more with thick
and dense breasts and much more if CAL007
(SM) is not correct
If this error is solid (not intermittent) for small
thickness, and there is not an associated six
digits error code, then the cause is probably
the absence of HV across the Photo tube or
no IPM return to the board 200PL5.
The system detects if the HV is not present
on 200PL5 board, but does detect a disconti-
nuity between the board and the phototube.
The system detects if the center conductor is
shortcut to the ground (error 037/003) but
does not detect a discontinuity in the wiring
or a bad phototube (not enough current).
Check the connections of HV and IPM
cables.

readable at 1.6 - 0.4 = 1.2.
If the target is 1.2 0.4 for drop will may 0.8
and the film may be no “readable".

of aborted exposure by S03 but CAUTION:
If the customer gets S12 very often it can be

2-2 Purpose of Mammocom software

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

1 PURPOSE OF - The MAMMO COM Communication Software provides the connection


SOFTWARE from the Senographes 700T & 800T toa PC (laptop) to access GEMS-pro-
prietary maintenance tests.

- The software is composed of several operating modules:

. ANSI-compatible VT200 terminal emulator (restricted).


. On-line Help on the various Senographe menus.
. File transfer modules between the Senographe and the PC.

Note: The terminal emulator menu can be used on 700T & 800T (set transmis-
sion speed to 9600bauds),
also on the DMR (set transmission speed to 9600bauds)
and the SENIX (set transmission speed to 1200 bauds).

* Any 8088, 8086, 80286 or 80386 microprocessor-based computer operating


under MS-DOS (Version 2.1 or higher).

2-3 General User Interface

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

2 GENERAL USER - The various software functions are accessed via standard menus. The
INTERFACE screen menus, therefore, are all similar. Only the function screens differ
depending of the function to be made.

2-1 Menu Screen Struc- - The screen is composed of three fields:


ture
. Screen title (for Main menus only).
. Selection box.
. Promp messages.

Note: TAV = Service Terminal (French: Terminal Apres-Vente).

- The Selection Box displays the accessible submenus. The Up/Down cursor
keys are used to scan different
options that are displayed one after the other in video reverse.

. To select an option, hit <Enter>.


. To return to the previous menu, hit <Alt><M>.
. To exit the MAMMO COM program (from the Main Menu), hit <CTRL><E>.

- For most of the menus, hit <Alt><H> to get a current screen Help, describing
the various options offered.
- The use of each function key is given on the message line at the foot of the
screen.

Theory of Operation

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

2-2 Line Editor - Several screens require entering a character chain for a number (See 7,
HELP MENUS), file name, or subdirectory name. A common line editor is
required for this.

- This editor displays a box containing a title (the name of the parameter to be
modified) and a value (default or previously selected) of the parameter being
considered.

- Data entry is always made in Insertion Mode, i.e., each character entered
takes the place of the character
previously located at the cursor.

- The acknowledged function keys are:

. BACKSPACE: deletes the character located immediately to the left.

. RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW: moves the cursor.

. ENTER: returns to previous menu by confirming the character chain entered.

. ALT-M: returns to previous menu by restoring the character chain found at


the start.

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

4 TERMINAL EMU- - This option is used to emulate an ANSI ASCII terminal, VT200. The
LATION Senographes 700T & 800T have a serial connection to which this type of ter-
minal can be detected to simulate the console and access the
Maintenance Menus.

4-1 Accessing the - From the Main menu, select: Terminal Emulator.
Function . The terminal function starts immediately following selection, and the Main
Menu screen is replaced by the Terminal screen (see below).

Theory of Operation

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

4-2 User Interface - Once the function is entered, the connection is initialized with the communi-
cations parameters by default or selected in the Change Com. Parameters
menu.
. At the first entry, the Terminal screen is erased and the TERMINAL EMULA-
TOR message appears.
. The cursor appears in the top left hand corner of the screen.
. A VT200 terminal displays 24 lines of 80 characters. The PC has a screen of
25 lines. Line 25 displays a prompt message for the main access functions to
the Senographe:

. F10: This key is used to connect the Senographes 700T, 800T, DMR and
600T SENIX HF (the communications parameters shoud be modified for the
latter).
Note: Connection to the Senographe can be made via this software only, as
no other terminal emulator is recognized by the Senographe.
. CTRL-D: Used to disconnect the Senographe unit.

. ALT-M: Used to return to the Main Menu of the MAMMO COM software with-
out breaking the connection. This means that a later selection of the terminal
emulator returns to the screen displayed before ALT-M was hit, and dialog with
the Senographe can take up where it left off. This function is necessary to
return to the Help Menus or to transfer files.
. The seven PC keys, F1 thru F6 and F9, simulate the seven keys surrounding
the Senographe console readouts and give access to all the menus (Medical,
Installation, and Maintenance).

4-3 Connections Hard- - Connections Hardware:


ware & Communica-
tion Protocol . The PC/Senographe connection is made via an RS232 serial connection sup-
ported by a DB9 connector installed on the Generator Interface Board located
in the Generator Cabinet.

- Communication Protocol:

. This is a character protocol that involves the transmission of ASCII charac-


ters in full duplex with data flow control (XON/XOFF Protocol).

. The default parameters are:


. 9600 bauds,
. Seven bit,
. Even parity,
. One stop bit.

. These parameters correspond to the connection with the Senographes 700T,


800T and DMR, but they can be modified for the connection with another
machine (e.g.: 1200 bauds for SENIX HF).

Theory of Operation

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

4-4 Emulator Restric- - This software is created specially to be used with the Senographes 700T,
tions 800T, DMR & SENIX HF. Therefore, this software emulates only those func-
tions required for such use. The result is a compromise between the speed of
the reply (loading and runtime) and the level of compatibility required.

- The only function keys recognized are:

. Function keys used by the Senographe,


. Cursor keys,
. Four keys: Insertion, Backspace, Prev Screen, and Next Screen.

- The emulator does not recognize display commands in large characters,


semi-graphic, or underlined (due to the CGA LCD boards of the PC).

- Most of the cursor-positionning commands as well as publishing commands


are available. The scrolling area is programmable. The cursor position and the
usual character attributes can be stored and restored.

- This software's performance is closer to a terminal than the standard


ANSI.SYS file.

2-6 Communication Parameters description

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

5 COMMUNICATION - This menu is used to modify the communication parameters of the serial con-
PARAMETERS nection between the PC and the Senographe. The new values can be backed
up in order to find them by default in future uses of the MAMMO COM Soft-
ware.

Theory of Operation

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

6-1 Preparing the The system must be in emulation to make a file transfer. The file transfer runs
Transfer as follows:
1) To link up with the Senographe, start MAMMOCOM from the icon in win-
dows. (The executable file is: STAV
select the Terminal Emulator and connect to the Senographe by pressing F10.
2) Run the menu tree structure on the Senographe until the Transfer Menu is
reached. The possibilities are as follows:
. Install param save @< >
. Install param load @ < >
. Error code transfer: @< >
. Statistic transfer: @< >
Where @<xxxx> is the Maintenance Screen number, refer to the tree struc-
tures in 7.
3) In emulation, line Nr. 25 gives the following commands:
CTRL-D: Disconnect F10: Connect ALT-M: Main Menu
4) Hit <ALT><M> to access the Main Menu without disconnecting from the
Senographe.
5) Select: File Transmission: This selection displays the File Transmission
Menu in which PARAM is the file name by default if no other default name was
saved beforehand (see below).

6-2 Type of Files Trans- - Two main types of file are concerned by file transfer between PC and
ferred Senographe:

. Coded files.
. ASCII files.

a) Coded Files:
. These are binary files that observe the Motorola Exormacs format. Coded
files are used to transfer the Senographe calibration variables for back-up on
floppy disk. The protocol selected ensures that the data transmitted are cor-
rect.

. A special menu is used to check the file transmitted by the Senographe. If the
transfer has run without error detection, it is certain that the file transferred can
be reload on the Senographe.

. The software determines the end of the transmission when it receives a spe-

2-8 Help Menus

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

7 HELP MENUS - The Help Control Module is the part of the MAMMO COM Software used to
control the Help Files on the various (screen) Numbers of the menu tree-struc-
ture in the Senographe software. Each screen transmitted by the Senographe
to the Service Terminal is identified by its own number (Number) in the follow-
ing format:

@<XXXXX>>

The Number represented by XXXXX is any number, 0 thru 99999.

- There are two methods of accessing the Help File:

. Help Context or Help relative to the current Number and under emulation.

. Global Help or Help for any Number.

7-1 Help Context - Help Context is used for the current Number and in emulation. Help Context
is managed by the On-line Help module. There are two situations:

. You are in emulation, so you receive Help for the current Number.

. You receive Help for the ? Number.

7-1-1 Accessing the Mod- - To access the On-line Help module in all situations, go to the Main Menu and
ule select Help Context .

- Once the Help Context selection has been made, the software searches for
the corresponding ASCII File Help, either at a Number or at the current Num-
ber, and displays the corresponding screen (see below).

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

7-1-2 Using the Help - The Help window displays the Text File for the current Number in emulation,
or at ? Number without emulation.

. The list of commands includes use of the keys:

. ALT-H to get Help on the use of the keys.


. Up/Down/Left/Right arrows to display the hidden parts of the text on the
screen.
. Next Page and Previous Page.
. ESC to exit the Help display.
. TAB, and SHIFT + TAB.

. In the window, the lines starting with the @<XXXXX> sequence are lines writ-
ten by the Help writer. These lines tell the software which Numbers can be
accessed from the current display. The software identifies these Numbers as
follows:

. TAB & SHIFT keys are used to select before or after the Number. The selec-
tion is displayed by putting the @<XXXXX> sequence corresponding to the
Number into video reverse.

. Each time the ENTER key is hit (when the cursor is found on a pre-selected
field by the TAB or SHIFT-TAB keys) and starting with @, the software reads
the seven following characters in order to identify the Number (placed between
the two characters < and >). The corresponding Help File is displayed in place
of the previous file.

7-2 Global Help - As with Help Context, Global Help is used to display the Help Files, on any
Number, and in emulation or not.

7-2-1 Accessing the Mod- - From the Main menu, select: Global Help.
ule

7-2-2 Choice of Number - The standard line editor is used to enter the selected Number. The software
displays the following screen.

? (zero) is the default Number in this Number selection window. The Service
Engineer has two methods of selecting the Number required:

. Hit <ENTER> to select the ? Number.

. Via the keyboard:

. Enter the Number.

. Hit <ENTER> to validate.

- In both the above cases, the Help is displayed immediately ENTER is hit. The
use is the same as for Help Context. Hit <ALT><M> to return to the Main
menu.

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

7-3 Structure and Cre-


ation of Help Files - see below.

7-3-1 Help Files Structure - All Help Files are contained in a chained tree structure in the HELP directory
that is in turn chained in the STAV User Directory. See example.

- Access to the Help Files is made by a Help System Directory File, which
should be contained in the same directory as STAV.EXE file. The STAV.HLP
File has the following structure:

a) Each line of the file corresponds to a Number for which you want to have
On-line Help. Where a Number does not appear in this file, the Help program
sends an error message, “No Help available".

b) Each line is defined according to the structure:

XXXXX I \gene\ HLPXXXXX.dat I Comments

Where:

. XXXXX is the Number.

. HLPXXXXX.dat is the name of the Help File corresponding to the Number.


The name can take any form, but with a maximum of eight characters.

. Comments field can take any form.

. \gene\ is the access path to the Help File for the Help Directory.

7-3-2 Creating Help Files - The Help Files are ASCII Files of any format and length.

- Chaining to other Help Files is made by character sequences recognized by


STAV.

- Help Files are composed of:

@<XXXXX>

Where XXXXX is the Number whose Help is to be displayed. @< is the detec-
tion sequence of this Number, and should not therefore appear anywhere else
in the File.

- The complete chaining to the Main Menu and the Submenus is left to the
Help writer, and can be made anywhere within the text. Example: the X cali-
bration requires entering the Y parameter from the @<00456> Menu.

- The tree-structure of the Senographe software is therefore not mandatory in


the Help Files.

3. Create or modify the corresponding line in the STAV.HLP File.
4. The install.exe program recopies the complete tree-stucture and all the files
of one disk to another disk.

2-9 Saving the Emulator Screen into a file

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

8 SAVING THE EMU- - The menu is used to save the emulator screen of the terminal on an ASCII
LATOR SCREEN File. The video attributes are lost because they cannot be used on an ASCII
ON A FILE File which must be compatible with any line editor or display software.

8-1 Accessing the Menu - From the Main Menu of the MAMMO COM Software, select: Save Emulator
Screen:
. The Save menu is displayed (see below).

8-2 File Name Option - This option is used to modify the name of the backup file. The standard line-
orientated editor is used.

8-3 Directory and Suffix - These options are used to access a menu that selects File Directory and
Options Extensions.

Directory: Find the access path for the file name.

Suffix: File name extension.

Save: Saves the data structures for the two options above in order to find them
as default values in future operations of the MAMMO COM Software.

8-4 Save Screen Func- - When the file name is selected, this function saves the screen. There are
tion three possibilities:

a) Terminal Emulator Option not Selected Beforehand:

. No save to make as the screen does not exist.

b) File Selected to Save Screen does not Exist

. The MAMMO COM Software creates the file and saves the screen: the
“Screen saved in file:..." message appears.

c) Selected File Exists:

. The MAMMO COM Software adds the new screen at the end of this file: the
“Screen appended to file:..." message appears.

2-10 Access to DOS

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

9 ACCESS TO DOS - This function is used to access the MS-DOS without exiting from the
MAMMO COM Software.
- The PC can remain connected to the Senographe, and all MAMMO COM
Software operating parameters are preserved. An advantage in running the
MAMMO COM Software from a floppy diskette is that this DOS accessing pro-
cedure is much faster than exiting STAV and restarting it.
- From the STAV Main menu, select: DOS Shell:
. DOS is accessed immediately.
. The program displays the “Type Exit to return to Terminal Emulator". The Exit
command is a standard command of MS-DOS and recognized by the COM-
MAND.COM interpreter. Once it is used, the STAV Main menu reappears and
the session can resume.
CAUTION:
- If the MAMMO COM Software is run from a floppy disk, the MAMMO COM
should not contain an MS-DOS version that is incompatible with the PC. If the
STAV finds a system on the current disk drive, it will use it in preference to the
usual system of the PC.
For simplicity, use a MAMMO COM floppy disk without any system.

2-11 Clearing the Emulator

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

A CLEARING THE - This option is used to clear the emulator screen of the terminal.
EMULATOR - From the STAV Main Menu, select: Clear Emulator Screen.
SCREEN . Once the option is selected, the emulator screen is cleared if the emulator
was used beforehand. Otherwise, this option has no effect.

2-12 Saving parameters

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

B SAVING PARAME- SAVING THE EMULATOR SCREEN ON A FILE- The following can be modi-
TERS fied: communications parameters with the Senographe, Directory, and default
suffix of the files to be transferred.
- When the current value of one of the parameters is modified, the Save option
generates the STAV.DAT File in the Current Directory.
- At each subsequent use of the MAMMO COM Software, the values con-
tained in the file are taken by default.
- If this file contains both the communications parameters and the names of
the sub-directories and the suffixes by default, the Save options from the fol-
lowing menus have the same effect: Change Com. Parameters Menu, Save
Emulator Screen Menu (Path Selection Menu or File Extension Menu), and
File Transmission Menu.

2-1 Inverter Control Interfacing with the Prep/Rad buttons and the console:

- Command sequencing,
- Sending instructions,
- Monitoring performance of the converters,
- Progress of the exposure.
The above functions are handled by the Interface and CPU boards.

The Interface Board handles interfacing between the CPU Board and the two
Generator Control Boards.
- Auxiliaries Control Board:
. BIAS control,
. Heating control,
. Starter control,
. Line supply.

- High Voltage Control Board:


. High voltage converter control, (Sequence controller of the inverter + regula-

. Measurement of the tube current (mA).

2-2 Inverter Power The inverters themselves are implemented on the power boards:
Boards - Heating Inverter and
- BIAS Inverter: Auxiliaries Power Board
- Anode Starter Driver: Starter Power Board
- High Voltage Inverter: High Voltage Inverter Board.

The BIAS, heating, and high voltage inverters power the transformers, rectifi-
ers, and filtering in the high voltage unit.

The high voltage, BIAS voltage, and heating current are transmitted from the
unit to the tube over a high-voltage four-wire cable.

The high-voltage (kV) measurement, and the measurement of the tube current
(mA), are made inside the
high voltage unit, and retransmitted to the High Voltage Control Board.

The power supply/network adaptation section is mainly contained on the


Power Supply Board.

The AC power supply input filter is fitted on the Room Interface Board, with
connections to the outside
grouped in the lower part of the electronics cabinet, near the cable entrances.
The gantry power supply, consisting of the 27 V transformer and the two
boards, is also located in the lower part of the cabinet.

4-3 Power Requirements & DC BUS

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

MENT & DC BUS IST004 job card of the Service manual describes the connection to the main
supply. Possible nominal line voltage values are: 200V 208 V 220V 230V
240V.
Position the jumper SK1 for correct setting of the transformer 300PL18. There
is no setting for line frequency (50 or 60 Hertz). DC BUS: The voltage across
the HV inverter capacitor is called DC BUS. See schematic book 300PL9 page
1/ 8. This voltage is used for the HV inverter, the Heater inverter and the Rotor
inverter. VERY IMPORTANT: The DC-BUS voltage is proportional to the
actual incoming line voltage. In other words the setting of 300PL18 does not
affect the voltage of the DC BUS.
DC BUS voltage is approximatly incoming voltage multiply by 1.4. For example
if the incoming line is 208 V the DC BUS voltage = 208 X 1.4 = 291 volts DC
when the Senographe is in stand by status. During exposure the ripple
increases in function of the line resistance and load (KV X mA).
See CAL015 in SM to make correct measurement. The following screens give
the description of Power-Up sequence. It can be used as troubleshooting
additional information when a problem origin seems to be Power-Up.

4-4-1 BIAS Inverter

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

1 BIAS INVERTER - The BIAS inverter is a DC voltage source varying between 30 and 300 V (68 to
GENERAL PRINCI- 102 V used on the 700T/ 800T) depending on the cathode potential. It is used
PLE to produce the bias voltage applied to the focusing cup.
Note:
In large focus, BIAS voltage value (Vp) = 0.
In small focus, Vp depends of the kV value as follows:
kV 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
Vp 68 72.25 76.5 80.75 85 89.25 93.5 97.75 102 98.7 95.64 92.72 90 87.41

- This voltage allows one of the two dimensions of the tube focal point to be
adjusted.
- The BIAS converter consists of a series inverter, operating in Impulse
Hyporesonant Mode, at a natural frequency of about 70 kHz.
- The inverter is powered at +/-12 V (sourced by regulators from the +/-15 V of
the main low voltage power supply).
- The LC resonant circuit is excited by the application of square-wave voltages,
and the resonant current thus obtained is injected into the elevator transformer
in the high voltage unit.
- A voltage doubler on the transformer secondary allows rectification and filter-
ing to obtain the DC voltage.
- The transformer also isolates the inverter with respect to the cathode poten-
tial.
The BIAS voltage reference is a frequency signal sent by the CPU-Interface
Board: TP44 300PL6.

1-1 BIAS INVERTER - The BIAS_ON signal (300PL6 2/14 B 1) enables the polarization inverter com-
Command, control, mand.
and confirmation - The BIAS_FREQ signal (300PL6 2/14 A 4) is the BIAS voltage reference,
Signals transmitted as a frequency.
- The BIAS_OK signal confirms operation of the bias converter. Bias OK is
indicated by 300PL6 10/14 DS12
Note: Current detection is made by one of the secondary of T4 on 300PL6 2/
14 by operational U3.
BIAS_LVL_OK is found on TP1on 300PL-6 BIAS_LVL_OP is found on TP2 on
300PL-6

Physical Implementation:
- The BIAS inverter is controlled from 300PL6: Auxiliaries Control Board. The
sequence controller is implemented as a state machine in the BIAS/Heating
EPLD.
The inverter itself is located on 300PL11: Auxiliaries Power Board.
BIAS VOLTAGE VALUE versus mA: The reference of bias voltage is 3400 X
mA ref. For example at
30KV mA reference is 30 mA in SF, therefore Bias reference is 102 Volts.
In SM CAL002 page 4/6 Res = + 3.400 E+3 is the Ratio.
DO NOT INCREASE THIS FACTOR TO REDUCE THE SF SIZE.

4-4-2 Heater Inverter

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

2 HEATER The heater inverter is an rms AC current source varying between 3.5 and 8 A
INVERTER - GEN- (7.5 A maximum used in
ERAL PRINCIPLE Boost Mode on the 700T/800T) at the cathode potential. It allows the tempera-
ture of one of the two tube filaments to be controlled, and thus controls the
electron flow emission by the cathode (tube current).

- The inverter, operates in pulse hyporesonant mode, at a frequency of about


20 kHz.

- The inverter is directly powered by the DC BUS (DC_BUS value is incoming


line multiply by 1.4). The CPU terminates the exposure if DC_BUS goes under
180 Volts.

- The LC resonant circuit is excited by application of square-wave voltages,


and the resonant current
obtained is injected into one of the two transformers located in the high voltage
unit.

- Because the tube is bi-focus, the focal point size is selected by choosing the
filament to be heated.
The filament is selected by choosing one of the two heating transformers, at its
primary.

- The transformers isolate the inverter with respect to the cathode potential.
The filament is supplied is AC.
mA are regulated by a close loop.

- The rms current command is sent by the CPU-Interface Boards to the adjust-
ment loop as a 12 bit serial word, and is received by a serial DAC on the Auxil-
iaries Control Board.

2-1 Heater inverter - - The HEAT_ON signal enables the heater inverter command.
Control, Command
& Confirmation Sig- - The SRI_HEAT, HEAT_STROBE, and HEAT_LOAD signals are used to
nals transmit the heating current command to the serial DAC.

Note:
- In application mode (Manual, AEC & AOP modes), the Tube Current is regu-
lated during exposure:

. During exposure, the DAC output of Heater inverter (Located on 300-PL6


AUX CTRL Bd.) changes if the measured mA (MA_MEAS signal on 300-PL8
HV CTRL Bd.) are not equal to the Reference (Requested mA).

- The HEAT_OK signal confirms operation of the heater inverter.

4-4-3 Anode Starter

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

3 ANODE STARTER - The anode starter is a three-phase asynchronous motor driver. The synchro-
- GENERAL PRIN- nization speed used on the Pearl/Sapphire is 3000 rpm.
CIPLE
- The stator and rotor of this motor are located respectively in the housing of
the tube, and in the tube itself.
The anode starter allows the anode to be rotated, to spread the calorific
energy of electron beam impact
over a ring, rather than on one fixed point.

- The anode starter consists of a three-phase chopper, powered directly from


the DC BUS.

- The stator is powered by a three-phase voltage, modulated by chopping. The


cut-off point varies,
depending on the motor control mode:
. Acceleration: rotation of the anode from stop,
. Maintenance: maintains the speed of rotation,
. Braking: active braking of the anode until it stops completely.

- Acceleration is obtained directly by injecting a voltage at the synchronization


frequency.

- The stator is connected to the anode, at ground. The three-phase unit is


therefore directly connected to
the stator.

3-1 Anode Starter - Control, Command, and Confirm Signals


Control, Command
& Confirm signals - The STARTER_ON signal enables starter operation according to the mode
chosen by the other control
signals.

- The STARTER_SPEED signal is retained for future compatibility. It is not


used on the Bonsai.

- The MAINT_STARTER and BRAKE_STARTER signals control the starter


operation mode.

- The STARTER_OK signal confirms operation of the anode starter.

Physical Implementation

- The anode starter control is on the Auxiliaries Control Board. The sequence
controller is implemented as a state machine in the Starter/Network EPLD.

- The three-phase chopper is on the Starter Power Board.

4-4-4 High-Voltage Inverter

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

4 HIGH VOLTAGE The high voltage inverter is a negative DC power source, varying between 22
INVERTER - GEN- and 35 kV, applied on the tube cathode.
ERAL PRINCIPLE
- This high voltage allows acceleration of the electrons emitted by the cathode.

- It consists of a serial inverter, operating in pulsed hyporesonant mode, at a


frequency of about 150 kHz.

- The inverter is powered by the DC BUS:

DANGER !!! TAKE CARE WHEN WORKING ON THE DC BUS !!!

- The LC resonant circuit is excited by applying square-wave voltages and the


resonant current thus obtained is injected onto the elevator transformer in the
high voltage unit.
- A voltage doubler installed on the transformer secondary provides the DC
voltage by rectification and filtering. The transformer also isolates the inverter
with respect to the cathode potential.
- Voltage adjustment is obtained by varying the inverter pulse recurrence fre-
quency.
- The high voltage (kV) command is sent by the CPU-Interface Boards to the
peak kV closed loop, as a 12-bit serial word, received by a serial DAC.

4-1 High Voltage - The XRAY_ON signal gives the command to send the high voltage to the
Inverter - Control, converter.
Command & Con- - The SRI_HV, HV_STROBE, and HV_LOAD signals command the serial
firm Signals DAC.
- The SECURITY_READ signal allows the inverter safety inputs to be read,
and reset if necessary.
- The HV_OK signal confirms the actual KV has reached the REF. This signal
is used by the mAs
measurement software.
- The signal KV_SUP_5 informs the CPU of high voltage detected at the start
of exposure.
(KV_SUP_5 must switch to “YES" 1.3 ms after the beginning of exposure).
- HL_SECURITY: Stops the inverter. See tsg chapter 524
Timeout regulation: If the actual kV does not reach the reference within the 8
ms after the beginning of the exposure (XRAY_ON), then the exposure is
stopped.
LL_SECURITY: Stops the inverter and for 20 ms and commands inverter
again. Ifa LL security occurs 7 times, the exposure is terminated. See chapter
525
- SOFTWARE security: If the kV value requested (checked by HV_OK) is not
obtained within the 20 ms after the beginning of the exposure (XRAY_ON),
then an error message as 006/003 should be displayed.
- The HV_TEST signal is applied to enable inverter operation without load (no
heating on the tube, therefore no load).

4-2 High Voltage Principle of the High Voltage Slave Loop at Peak Value.
Inverter - Principle
of High Voltage - The high voltage is slaved to the kV command at peak values.
Slave Loop at Peak
value - The high voltage measurement is subtracted from the command sent by the
CPU. This kV signal is processed to store from one converter pulse to the
next, the high voltage increase obtained (kV).

- The inverter will be triggered again (a control pulse on one of the switches of
the inverter half-bridge) when the kV measurement drops below the last kV
obtained for the same switch.

Physical implementation

- The high voltage converter control is located on the High Voltage Control
Board. The sequence controller is implemented as a state machine in the High
Voltage EPLD.

- The high voltage inverter is implemented on the High Voltage Inverter Board.

4-4-5 mA measurement

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

5 mA MEASURE- 1 General Principle


MENT
- The tube current is injected on the anode side of the high voltage rectifier on
a measurement bridge. The voltage obtained is converted to frequency by a
VCO. This frequency is measured by two counters.

- If the maximum current is exceeded, this is detected on the measurement


voltage by a comparator.
This information is sent to the high voltage inverter safety processor.

2 Control, Command, and Confirmation Signals

- The MA_MEAS signal is the tube current measurement converted to fre-


quency.

. This signal is used to control the Heater Inverter. If MA_MEAS signal is not
equal to the mA requested (REF) during exposure, it will change the value of
the DAC output of Heater Inverter (300-PL6 AUX CTRL
Bd) to adjust the Heater current value.

3 Physical implementation

- The frequency conversion part of the tube current measurement system is


found on the High Voltage Control Board, and the counters are on the Inter-
face Board.

The AC supply voltage is simply rectified and filtered to power the three invert-
ers:
(heating, starter, high voltage). The value should be between 254V and 373V
in stand-by mode, dependind of AC mains voltage. At power-up , if the
DC_BUS does not reach 180 V in 2.9 sec the system stopps the sequence . If
the CD_BUS goes over 400 V the system stops also the sequence.
. 400 PL7 : Low Voltage Power Supplies: + 5V, +15V, -15 V (Schematics are
not in the SCH book)

. 27 V DC: A transformer provides adaptation to, and isolation from, the AC


supply. The voltage is rectified and filtered to supply the power boards for the
gantry and the console.
- The keep alive voltage is provided by the LVPS. 300PL17

- The device and, in particular, the DC BUS, are powered up with a pre-
charged resistor (located behind 300 PL9, shunted when the voltage on the
DC BUS reaches an acceptable level.
- This resistor is also use to provide the DC BUS filtering on power down.

- The voltage level on the DC BUS, the AC supply presence on the line, and
the power consumption of the anode starter are all continuously monitored,
and transmitted to the rest of the system.

Note: If the DC BUS voltage value reaches 400V, the system is cut-off.

- The LVPS_OK signal confirms a correct level on the three low-voltage power

Theory of Operation

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

1-2 Elevator - Check - OPER_PRES_SW signal active simultaneously with ELEV+/-_SW to check
signals operator presence, and an actual
movement command.

- ELEV_ON may be reread from the FPGA to give a status correlation.

- ELEV_STATE_OFF power return signal giving movement status (0 = eleva-


tor moving).

- ELEV_H_SW, ELEV_L_SW, ELEV_SECURITY: detection of upper stops,


lower stops, and broken belt respectively.

- CEMF_ELEV frequency signal reporting the speed of movement (no move-


ment is indicated by 150 kHz).

1-3 Elevator - Power - PWM_ELEV Power results from filtering PWM_ELEV to give an analog com-
Signals mand between 0 and -10 V to which an offset of 5 V and I_SENSE (return of
current image in the motor) are added.

- The resulting analog command is injected into two PWM generators (one for
rise, one for fall) which controls the power chopper connected to the motor.

4-5-2 Compression function

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

2 OVERVIEW OF - Function allowing the breast to be held and compressed, to produce the best
COMPRESSION x-ray image, in terms of density and stability.
FUNCTION
- This function, produced by the software-controlled hardware, consists of
three sub-functions:
see below.

2-1 Compression - Con- - Provided by a double set of two footswitches (compression/decompression


trol Function with each set), and a double rotating hand-control, the command is transferred
to the CPU Board by the Interface Board, which in return receives the elec-
tronic command digitized in an FPGA as a PWM-type frequency command
(Pulse Width Modulation: PWM_COMPx), and a polarity command
(MOT_COMPx signal).

- The motor is a two-phase, x = 2 pulse motor. These commands are sent to


the power board, which will transform them to analog power signals to control
the compression motor. “COMP_ON" is the software command authorizing
power to the motor (Even without movement, comp_on may be activated to
hold the compression).

- A decompression button is available on the console.

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

2-2 Compression - - Compression enable is set by the software command (VALID_COMP_ON)


Check Function and remains active as long as there is no problem. Devaluing it completely
cuts the power enable control COMP_ON, the result of monitoring the foot-
switches, buttons and MOT_COMPx. As regards the hardware, this all takes
place inside the Interface FPGA.

The check signals are as follows:

- VALID_COMP_ON,
- FOOT_SW_PRES (pressure on one of the footswitches),
- PRES_ADJ (FPGA result from action on the buttons, signal active for 250
ms),
- COMP_FORCE (compression force is measured by the CPU via a PTM on
Interface),
- COMP_STATE_OFF (0 indicates that compression is active. This is a return
signal from the Power Board).

2-3 Compression - - Produced with one chopper per phase controlled by a PWM, in turn con-
Power Function trolled by the signals PWM_COMPx and MOT_COMPx from Interface.

- The software sends a rectified sinusoidal signal with digital polarity, 6 bits for
amplitude + 1 polarity bit per PWM to the INTERFACE board, that is responsi-
ble for creating the PWM command carrying the information.

4-5-3 Arm Rotation function

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

3 ARM ROTATION - Function allowing the image receptor to be placed at all angles around the
central axis of the elevator.

1 - Control Signals:
- ROT_ON signal allowing the current to pass from the 30 V_gantry in the
braking coil via a power transistor,
- ROT_SW rotation command from a button.

2 - Check Signals:
- ROT_STATE_OFF rotation possible giving a signal at 0.
- ANGLE gives the precise value of the angle for the 800T.
- ROT_SOFT_PRES_TRIG arming signal for the watchdog for a period
between 260 and 390 ms.
- ROT_SOFT_PRES FPGA internal watchdog to authorize ROT_ON.
- OPER_PRES_SW duplicate signal with ROT_SW allowing the consistency
of the rotation status to be checked.

3 - Power Signal:
- No signal as such, power comes from the command ROT_ON.

4-5-4 Exposure Control

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

4 OVERVIEW OF - Function depending both on the status of the generator and the gantry.
EXPOSURE CON-
TROL - The status of the gantry is considered here. This consists in monitoring sys-
tem performance (x-ray dose and movement safety) while the patient is
exposed to x-rays. The subassemblies concerned in this function are as fol-
lows (see below):

4-1 Exposure Control - - Five signals travel between the Interface Board and HTPM:
Photoelectron Multi-
plier - Serialized programming of the High Voltage converter (SRI_HTPM,
HTPM_STROBE, HTPM_LOAD).

- Measurement of PM (current: I_PM, and voltage: HT_PM) called PM_MEAS.

- The I_HT_CMD command from the relay, switching I_PM or HT_PM onto the
PM_MEAS line.

See chapter 2 section 6 for the description of PM test.

4-2 Exposure Control - Four signals travel between the bucky/cassette holder and the Interface
Bucky/Cassette Board:
holder
- GRID_PRES telling the software of the presence of a bucky. It is not active if
a cassette-holder is present.

- SYNC_GRID giving information on the movement of the grid in exposure, in


the case of a bucky.
Not used for cassette holders.

- CASSETTE_PRES allowing exposure to be authorized, since a bucky or cas-


sette holder is connected and holding a new cassette.

- 24x30 size information for the bucky or cassette holder installed on the sys-
tem.

4-3 Exposure Control - Four decoding signals for the collimation bar are sent to Interface:
Collimator
- DIAPH(0:3) coding for these four bits is such that the two msb are the mirror
image of the two lsb.

- The four bits are in electrical series. A continuity fault on one bit therefore
results in Error Code 1111, and an operation fault on one of the bits leads to
an error in the axis of symmetry for the 2 x 2-bit word.

Theory of Operation

Para # TITLE DESCRIPTION

4-4 Console Two signals are transmitted by the console to control the x-ray exposure:

- PREPA_SW active at 1 tells the software of an exposure request coming,


and allows it to initialize exposure (rotation of the starter).

- GRAPHY_SW active at 1 tells the software the required exposure (x-ray


transmission requested).

4-5 Others FAN


- A signal tells the software that the fan is operating, in order to monitor the x-
ray tube cooling curve.

MAGNIFICATION PLATE
- Two signals give the type of mag plate in place. (Note: MAG (2) is available
for future use.)

- MAG (0:1) active at 0 gives the information to the Interface Board.

GANTRY
- The gantry must remain immobile and stable during the exposure, and allow
the patient to release himself/herself after exposure.
