Remote Tilting Table Interface Circuit

7 INTERFACE CIRCUIT
7.1 INTRODUCTION
This section of the manual describes the HW interconnections and the security lines among
the different components of the CLISIS remote tilting system.
It must be underlined that the interface circuit described in this section represents only the
physical interconnections between the single system components and the entire interfacing
possibility.
The CLISIS system interface circuit has been designed in order to insulate all input signal by
means of photo-coupler factory configured to accept 24V dc-input signals.
The diode of the input photo coupler can be supplied using the on board 24V DC or an
external one by means of proper jumpers settings.
All outputs have open collector configuration; as common return the External I/O Interface
board GND must be used. The maximum current sink for each single output is 30 mA - 40V.
WARNING:
BEFORE TO CHANGING THE INTERNAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT THE INSTALLER MUST

MAKE BE SURE THAT THE 24V DC JUMPERS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SET TO
AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS AMONG THE DIFFERENT ACCESSORIES POWER
SUPPLIES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INTERFACE ANY EXTERNAL ACCESSORY IF SECTION 2.5 OF

THE PRESENT MANUAL HAS NOT BEEN CAREFULLY READ.
CLISIS SERVICE MANUAL Section 7 - pag. 1 / 21

7.2 INTERFACE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
All interface signals are available at DB connectors CN170, CN164 and CN169 located on
the CLISIS main control board and they are divided in the following groups:
TECHNIQUE SELECTION INPUTS
By means of these input signals it is possible to select the CLISIS operative mode; usually
this input are driven by the x-ray generator in the way that the selection of a particular
working station at the generator console automatically force a specific mode of the Clisis
table. In particular:
Technique # 1 - CN170.16 - CN164.16 - CN169.21
In this modality, the Clisis control circuits enables the automatic Spot Film Device or the
Image Intensifier as sole image receptor with he following consequences:
1. The exposure sequence is interlocked by the SFD status.

2. The exposure release is synchronized with the position of the oscillating grid.
3. In case the unit is interfaced with a supported digital image processor, the continuous or
pulsed fluoro exposure is controlled by the image processor in order to use its LIH and
noise suppression features.
4. The collimator enters in auto mode.
5. Tomography exposures are allowed.
In this modality, the Clisis control circuits enables the Image Intensifier as sole image
receptor with he following consequences:
1. The radiographic exposure is released under the control of the Image processor once the
cassette reaches the parking position.
2. The continuous or pulsed fluoro exposure is released under the control of the Image
processor.
3. The collimator enters in auto mode.
4. Tomography exposures are allowed. Because the Image Intensifier input plane is lower
than the cassette plane the CLISIS control, circuit automatically corrects the tomo layer
setting.
5. The oscillation of the grid can be disabled if necessary ti improve the image quality.
In this modality, the CLISIS control circuits disables both the SFD and the Image Intensifier
and the CLISIS tables operates a simple x-ray tube support with the following consequences:
1. The continuous or pulsed fluoro exposure is disabled.

2. The radiographic exposure is not interlock by the Clisis unit and its is switched under the
direct control of the X-ray generator.
3. The automatic SFD is disabled with the exception of the front keyboard that remains
active.
4. The tomography mode is disabled.
5. The collimator automatically enters in full manual mode.

In this modality the CLISIS remote tilting table behaves as described for Technique # 3.
In this modality the CLISIS remote tilting table behaves as described for Technique # 3.

GENERATOR INTERFACE SIGNALS
By means of these signals is possible to synchronize the generator exposure with the CLISIS
status. In particular:
Preparation - CN170.10 - CN164.10 - CN169.2
When active transfer the preparation command to the X-ray generator.
Grafia (2nd step) - CN170.28 - CN164.28
When active transfer the "second step" command to the CASTOR X-ray generator. Only
after that this signal is received the generator enables the Ready output at the end of the
preparation sequence. This signal is not required for other generators.
Exposure - CN170.29 - CN164.29 - CN169.3
When active transfer the exposure release command to the X-ray generator.
Fluoro - CN170.11 - CN164.11 - CN169.4
When active requests the start of continuous (or pulsed) exposure to the X-ray generator.
Gen. Ready - - CN170.37 - CN164.36 - CN169.22
When active indicates that the generator has correctly ended the preparation sequence and
it is ready to expose. This signal can be an active low input referred to the CLISIS gnd or
referred to the generator 24Vdc. In this case it is necessary to connect the generator 24Vdc
power supply to CN170.36 - CN169.24 and chose the correct setting of jumper SW9.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
In case the CLISIS table is interface with an X-RAY generator in which the Ge. Ready
(bucky start) signal is a 110/220V ac output, the installer must use only the input
terminals of connector CN173.
XRay - On - CN170.30 - CN164.30 - CN169.23
When active indicates that the generator is releasing the exposure.

The transition low / high transition of this input indicates the end of the exposure and cause
the cassette tray to move one step ahead.
This signal can be an active low input referred to the CLISIS gnd or referred to the generator
24Vdc. In this case it is necessary to connect the generator 24Vdc power supply to
CN170.36 - CN169.24 and chose the correct setting of jumper SW10.

7.6 HIRIS DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSORS INTERFACE
The CLISIS table can be interfaced with a HIRIS Digital Image Processor only if the
CASTOR HF generator is equipped with the optional interface kit ref. GNA21. In particular
the CLISIS interface circuit must be connected with the HIRIS interface board of the Castor
HF generator that is included in the GNA21 kit. The interconnection between the CLISIS
table and the CASTOR HF generator must be realized using the optional interface cable ref.
002500.185-A
The theory of operation in the different working modes are:
WORKING STATION 1
It must be associated with the use of the CLISIS SFD mode. In this modality the HIRIS
image processor can acquire the images in the following modality:
Continuous fluoro
Fluoro request arrives from the CLISIS Table by means of signal FLUORO (Led DL19 and
COM.Rx DL18) and it is transferred to Hiris processor as signal PFL. Hiris processor makes
active signal OFL+ (Led DL38) that, through U1, enters the generator as IFS (Led DL3). The
Generator starts the fluoro exposure and exposure time is given by OFT signal (Led DL31)
which is coming through U1 to the Hiris system as EXON (led DL17).
Pulsed fluoro
Before fluoro starts, Hiris must enable signal PHCF (Led DL33). Fluoro request comes from
the Superix table as FLUORO (Led DL19 e COM.Rx DL18) and U1 IC activates signal IFS
(Led DL3). At the end of preparation generator activates OBS signal (Led LD45) that comes,

through U1, to Hiris on GEN.READY (LedDL16). When Hiris is ready to acquire the images
drives low the potter reply OEXP+ (Led DL36) and IRP signals (Led DL4); every active potter
reply signal lets generator to expose and feedback using OPT (Led DL32) which is translated
by U1 in EXON (led DL17).
Radio (SPOT)
Radio request enters the generator via I_ST signal (Led DL43), that is transformed by U1 in
IPR (Led DL1). Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2). At the end of preparation
generator activates OBS signal (Led DL45) that is sent to the remote table on BUC_ST (Led
DL12). The CLISIS table, when ready, activates signal rx.GEN (Led DL39) that is
transformed by U1 on IRP (Led DL4). During exposure time generator activates signal ORT
(Led DL30) which is transformed by U1 in X- RAY (Led DL13).
WORKING STATION 2
This working station enables the SPOT mode of the HIRIS Digital Image processor and
disables the use of SFD. If the Hiris system is equipped with the DSA package, the contrast
media injector can be triggered by the Hiris CPU and the generator interlocks the exposure
considering the actual status of the injector and the modality selected by the operator on the
Hiris menu. In particular, the different modalities supported in this working station are the
following:
Continuous fluoro
Fluoro request arrives from the Superix Table by means of signal FLUORO (Led DL19 and
COM.Rx DL18) and it is transferred to Hiris processor as signal PFL. Hiris processor makes
active sinal OFL+ (Led DL38) that, through U1, enters the generator as IFS (Led DL3). The
Generator starts the fluoro exposure and exposure time is given by OFT signal (Led DL31)
which is coming through U1 to the Hiris system as EXON (led DL17).
Pulsed fluoro
Before fluoro starts, Hiris must enable signal PHCF (Led DL33). Fluoro request comes from
the Superix table as FLUORO (Led DL19 e COM.Rx DL18) and U1 IC activates signal IFS
(Led DL3). At the end of preparation generator activates OBS signal (Led LD45) that comes,
through U1, to Hiris on GEN.READY (LedDL16). When Hiris is ready to acquire the images
drives low the potter reply OEXP+ (Led DL36) and IRP signals (Led DL4); every active potter
reply signal lets generator to expose and feedback using OPT (Led DL32) which is translated
by U1 in EXON (led DL17).
SPOT MODE (RADIO & ANGIOGRAPHIC SEQUENCES)
In spot mode, the images can be acquired under three different modalities:
1. Standard spot mode.

2. Angiographic sequence. The operator has selected a pre-programmed sequence in
which the operator has defined the trigger conditions for the contrast media injector
(Injector enabled/disabled, injector start (delayed or anticipated from the first
exposure)
The CASTOR HF CPU interlocks the exposures releases with the status of the injector, if the
use of the injector has been enabled by the HIRIS processor via the INJ.ENA (Led DL37)
signal (active=enabled). In particular:
Injetor Disabled (Led DL37 off):

IPR (Led DL1) and in P_PREP_G (Led DL20) and in COM.rx (Led DL18).
Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2). At the end of preparation generator activates
OBS signal (Led DL45) that is sent to the HIRIS processor on RAD (Led DL15). The HIRIS
processor, when ready, activates signal OEXP+ (Led DL36) that is transformed by U1 on IRP
(Led DL4). During exposure time generator activates signal ORT (Led DL30) which is
transformed by U1 in EXON (Led DL17).
Injector Enabled (Led DL37 on):
The HIRIS processor enables the injector via INJ.ENA (Led DL37).
IPR (Led DL1). Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2) and in P_PREP_G (Led DL20)
and in COM.rx (Led DL18) only in case the INJ.ARM (active high) or ARM_0 (ac tive Low)
signals are active.
At the end of preparation generator activates OBS signal (Led DL45) that is sent to the
HIRIS processor on RAD (Led DL15). The HIRIS processor, when ready, activates signal
OEXP+ (Led DL36) that is transformed by U1 on IRP (Led DL4). During exposure time
generator activates signal ORT (Led DL30) which is transformed by U1 in EXON (Led DL17).
During the exposures sequence, if the injector has been switched in manual trigger mode
(AUT/MAN =active high or MAN_0 =active low) and signal STR/MAN is active high or siganl
STR_0 is active low, U1 allows the injector to start via signal STR_INJ (Led DL49).
if the injector has been switched in automatic trigger mode (AUT/MAN =active low or MAN_0
=active high) the injector start signal INJ.START (LED DL46) generated by the HIRIS
processor allows the injector to start via signal STR_INJ (Led DL49).
TOMOGRAPHY
The tomo mode is enabled by the operator at the CLISIS console and this selection is
transferred to the CASTOR HF generator via TOMO signal (Led DL45) that is transformed by
U1 in TOMO_C (Led DL14) for the HIRIS processor. In the same time and signals PBx (Led
DL5) ITA, ITS, ITF are generated by the interface logic for the CASTOR HF CPU. When the
signal T_On (ITA) is active, the generator automatically sets the exposure back_up time
depending on the status of signals ITS and ITF as indicated in the following table:
WORKING STATION 3
It must be associated with the CLISIS DIRECT mode. Selecting this working station
fluoroscopy is disabled and the operator can release exposures using a film cassette
external to the SFD.
Radiography
IPR (Led DL1). Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2). At the end of preparation
generator activates OBS signal (Led DL45) that, through U1, is sent back to IRP (Led DL4).
