6 Setting of the system addresses
5 multiplexer systems can be mounted on this subrack. The Q1 bus addresses for the
system on the subrack are set by means of switches on the QEXA unit in position 17. For
some general information, refer to section 3 of the manual : installation.

Note The addresses can also be set by means of switches on the backpanel of the
subrack : however, this method can only be used on the following conditions :
 the CNCC is mounted on the subrack;
 there is no need to extend the Q1 bus to other subracks;
 the other functionalities of the QEXA unit (access for synchronization clock
input or output, access for auxiliary alarm inputs) are not required.

If the address setting is realized by means of the switches on the QEXA unit, all
ATTENTION switches on the backpanel of the subrack have to be open.

7 System address setting by means of QEXA

The addressing is realized by means of the switches S301 and S302 (Enable A) and S401
and S402 (Enable B) on the QEXA unit (see figure 1).
This subrack enables different exploitation modes :

in the normal exploitation 4 units of the multiplexer system can be addressed;

an extended exploitation makes it possible to address 8 units or all units on the
subrack.

Normal exploitation
4 consecutive numbers (within the same group of 8) are assigned to the subrack. Selection
is achieved by setting 5 switches in the ON position :

one switch of S301 is set to ON to select a group of 8 addresses (the other switches of
S301 and all switches of S302 are set to OFF);

the first 4 switches of S401 are set to ON if the first 4 addresses of the group have to
be used (the other switches of S401 and all switches of S402 are set to OFF);

the 4 switches of S402 are set to ON if the last 4 addresses of the group have to be
used (all switches of S401 are set to OFF).

Take care to select different groups by means of the switches of S301 and
ATTENTION S302.

As the switches of S302 can only select addresses below 32, it can be
TIP appropriate to select the addresses above 32 with the switches of S301.

Example : system addresses 1 to 8 and 33 to 40

address 1 = 0 + 1 = position S302 : 3 and S401 : 1

address 8 = 0 + 8 = position S302 : 3 and S401 : 8 Value Value
