LCD module LEDs
3.1 LCD module LEDs

Note: The range, accuracy and precision of the LCD display is dependent on the digital
accelerator’s dose monitoring system–for details, see Digital Accelerator Corrective
Maintenance Manual.
3.1.1 Power LED

Problem
If the LED is not ON, then one or more of the cabinet supplies are out of tolerance. The
limits for the power LED are given in Table 3.1 below:
Table 3.1 Power LED
Power supply Low limit High limit

+5 V 4.58 V
5 V 4.42 V
+12 V 10.59 V
12 V 10.59 V
In addition to these limits, Table 3.2 shows the recommended tolerances for the supplies
in order to ensure long term reliability and stability:
Table 3.2 Power LED—Recommended tolerances
Power supply Tolerance

+5 V ±0.15 V
5 V ±0.15 V
+12 V +0.75 to 0.5 V
12 V ±0.5 V
3.3 V1 ±0.15 V
1 The readings for the 3.3V supply are
available from the system BIOS
Solutions
• If Diagnostic Utility is accessible, run the System Voltages diagnostic test to
determine faulty supply. Replace the PSU assembly if any supplies are indicating
a fault.
• Measure voltages with a DVM. If any voltages are indicating a fault, replace the
PSU assembly. If all supplies are reading OK, suspect either the LIB card as this
is where the voltages are monitored to control the Power LED, or the PCB
backplane.

Fault diagnosis
LCD module LEDs
3.1.2 Fans LED

Problem
If this LED is not ON, then one or more fan in the fan unit is faulty.
Solutions
• Visually inspect fan unit to determine if any fan(s) are visibly not working.
• Run Fan Fail Test in Console Diagnostics to determine faulty fan(s) and replace.
• Replace any faulty fans.
3.1.3 Linac interlocks LED

Problem
If this LED is ON, then the software is failing to request the linac interlocks are engaged.
Solutions
• This LED will be off if the RMX LED is OFF, as it is the RMX software that
requests that the interlocks are engaged. In this case investigate the problem
with the RMX LED.
• If the RMX LED is on, check the control system for inhibits and control system
state.
3.1.4 MLC camera LED

Problem
If this LED is OFF, then a camera signal is not being detected by the LIB or the camera
signal is not in sync with the LIB MLC sync signal.
Solutions
The MLC Camera LCD is controlled by the outputs of the MLC Video Present and MLC
Video Sync LEDs on the LIB. If either of these LED’s is off, the MLC Camera LED will
turn off. Therefore for more information on fault finding if the MLC Camera LED is not
lit, refer to Section 3.2.6.

Fault diagnosis
LCD module LEDs
3.1.5 RMX LED

Problem
If this LED is OFF, then the control processor has failed to load the RMX control code.
Solutions
• Check the configuration of the network cards.
• Connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port on the control processor and reboot
the system to determine how far the boot process is getting.
• Make sure that the ethernet link between display and control processors is
connected correctly.
3.1.6 Link enable LED

Problem
If this LED is not ON, then the software is failing to request that the serial links are
enabled.
Solutions
• Connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port on the control processor and reboot
the system to confirm that the RMX software is booting correctly.

Fault diagnosis
LIB LEDs

3.2.1 LIB firmware LED

This is a green LED that flashes from switch on. It shows that the Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) on the LIB PCB operates correctly.
If this LED does not flash, this shows a problem with the LIB PCB or possibly the PSU.

Fault diagnosis
LIB LEDs
3.2.2 RMX loaded LED

This is a green LED that is on when the RMX software is successfully loaded on to the
control processor.
If this LED is not on, the problems are possibly the same as those for the Watchdog Reset
LED (Section 3.2.8).
3.2.3 MLC video sync LED

This is a green LED that is usually on when the MLC camera is energized. It shows that
the video signal that is received from the MLC camera, is in sync with the signal that is
sent out through the MLC serial link.
If this LED is not on, this shows a problem with the LIB PCB, the related cabling, or the
camera.
3.2.4 MLC video present LED

This is a green LED that is on when the MLC camera is energized. It shows that a video
signal is received from the MLC camera.
If the LED is not on, this shows a problem with the MLC camera or its cabling.
3.2.5 Blanking Linac 2 LED

This is the same as Blanking Linac 1 (Section 3.2.6), but for the Linac 2 serial link.
3.2.6 Blanking Linac 1 LED

This is a yellow LED that stays on during usual working conditions. It shows that a
blanking pulse is present on the Linac 1 serial link.
If this LED is off, examine the serial link cabling or possibly the serial link isolation PCB.
Note: If this LED goes on immediately after you switch on the LCS cabinet, this shows a fault
condition as it will prevent the RMX operating system from being loaded.
3.2.7 Fan speed and over temperature LED

This is a yellow LED that is off under usual working conditions. The LED will go on if
the internal temperature of the LCS cabinet reaches 38 °C. That shows the the fans are
operated at full speed (equivalent to approximately 12 V).
The LED will go off again when the temperature falls below 35 °C. That shows the fans
have returned to the usual working conditions and are operated at two-thirds speed
(equivalent of approximately 8 V).
If this LED is frequently on, it can be necessary to think about the environment of the
LCS cabinet (that is, ventilation, air conditioning and so on).

Fault diagnosis
LIB LEDs
3.2.8 Watchdog reset LED

This is a red LED that is usually off. The LED will flash when the LIB PCB sends a reset
signal to the control processor to reload the RMX operating system. This signal is sent
each 60 seconds until the RMX is successfully loaded.
If this LED is flashing but the RMX is not rebooting (connect a monitor to the VGA
output of the control processor to check the loading process) then examine the
connection between PL10 on the LIB and J15 on the control processor.

Fault diagnosis
Display processor card - No video output from the LCS
3.3 Display processor card - No video output from the LCS

If there is no video output from the LCS, start as follows to find the problem:
1 Make sure that the power supply voltages on the terminal in the LCS are correct
(see Section 2.2.1.1).
2 Make sure that the monitor is connected to the correct output socket.
(see Table 3.4)
If the monitor is connected to the correct output socket and there is no video output
3 Make sure that the graphics card operates correctly.
4 Connect the monitor to the VGA output of the display processor.
5 Examine the PCI device listing on boot up (see Figure 3.2 on page 10).
The Display Cntrlr is shown as Bus No. 0, Device No. 2: not as Bus No. 4, Device No. 0,
which it the Matrox graphics card.
Note: The display processor connector only has output if the display processor cannot
communicate with the graphics card. Figure 3.3 shows the usual PCI device listing.
No communication between the display processor and the graphics card can be caused
by
• a defective graphics card or
• a defective motherboard
(Slots 7 to 11 of the motherboard in the LCS are connected to the display
processor by a PCI to PCI Bridge microchip. If that microchip is defective, the
display processor will not communicate with the graphics card - see Figure 3.4.)
6 Do a test for a defective motherboard as follows:
a Temporarily move the display processor to the SCSI adapter slot (slot5).
If the output recovers on the display adapter

b Try the graphics card in its initial slot.
If the graphics card operates correctly

No more steps are necessary.
If the graphics card remains defective

c Order a replacement cabinet.
If the graphics card is the only device not shown in the PCI device listing
d Order a replacement graphics card.

Audio alarms - siren noise in the LCS Mk2 cabinet
3.4 Audio alarms - siren noise in the LCS Mk2 cabinet

Two sorts of alarms are possible.
• an alternating high/low pitch noise
You will hear a high sound and then a low sound that change at short intervals.
• a continuous alarm - long beep short pause
You will hear a continuous sound that is suspended by a short pause.
3.4.1 Alternating high/low pitch noise

If the siren sounds from power up
1 Examine if the second power supply not present link has become disconnected (see
Figure 3.5 on page 13) and connect it again if necessary.
If the siren starts after the cabinet has been switched on for a while
2 Examine the processor fan for each processor card.
The fan could be defective or fallen off. It is likely that the siren sound is
temperature related.
3 Examine the temperature in the processor BIOS.
You can manually set the alarm threshold to test the alarm under Advanced Chipset
Features.
3.4.2 Continuous alarm - long beep short pause

The RAM chip is no longer visible to the Control Processor board. This could be caused
by a faulty RAM module or an unseated chip.
1 Remove the RAM chip and install it again.
If the problem is not solved

2 Replace the Control Processor board.

LIB diagnostics
3.6 LIB diagnostics

This section gives detailed diagnostic information for use when fault finding around the
LIB (4513 390 8004), and the serial link isolation board (4513 390 8044).
3.6.1 MLC video

The key circuit diagram showing the MLC signal processing is sheet 10 of
4513 390 8004 group 130.
A standard 50 Hz, 625 line, interlaced sync pulse train is generated on the linac interface
board. The pulse train is then buffered and converted to a differential signal and
subsequently output via SK3 pins 4 and 5. The MLC camera receives this signal and
synchronizes to it, ensuring that the returning video is synchronized to the on-board
timing reference.
The upper waveform in Figure 3.6 was taken between pin 4 and pin 12 of SK3 and the
lower waveform was taken between pins 5 and 12. The figure shows MLC Sync to MLC.
Figure 3.6 MLC sync to camera
Video and sync information is passed from the LIB to the MLC framegrabber card. The
pinout for the cable running from SK4 on the LIB to the framegrabber card is shown in
Table 3.5.

Fault diagnosis
LIB diagnostics
The video signal from the MLC enters the LIB on socket SK4 and can be observed by
connecting an oscilloscope to TP6 (ground is TP15). These test-points are difficult to
reach when the board is installed, therefore the waveform in Figure 3.7 was taken by
taking a tee off the MLC video cable.
Figure 3.7 MLC video in
Note: Fault-finding on the MLC video chain requires an oscilloscope with a minimum 20 MHz
bandwidth and with a TV triggering function.

Fault diagnosis
LIB diagnostics
A buffered version of this signal (VIDEO_RAW) is passed on to the framegrabber card

via (SK5 pin8 with respect to pin 5) for calculating the black level at start up. A
test-point, TP5, is available to monitor this signal; figure4 shows the waveform at this
point. The value can be read via item 2198, part 101. It is also displayed on the debug
terminal. Table 3.6 shows a typical debug output when video is disconnected.

The MLC Video signal passes through some signal processing on the LIB to clean up the
waveform and set a consistent black level.
The processed video signal is output on SK5 pins 7 and 2 (view on TP4 with respect to
TP14). The cable from SK5 runs to the input of the framegrabber card and is routed on
the back of the LCS Mk2 chassis.

Fault diagnosis
LIB diagnostics
The processed video waveform at TP4 should consist of a sync level of 0.3V and a peak
white video component of 0.7V.
Figure 3.9 MLC video—processed
Figure 3.9 shows an example of the processed video waveform taken from TP4. If this
signal is missing, the observed symptom is that the MLC video appears black with only
the grid and reference reflector squares displayed. In addition, a 7102 inhibit will be
displayed. However, a normal black level will be reported on the debug terminal as
follows:

3.6.2 Serial link signals

The serial link signals start on the LIB. The linac 1 and 2 serial links are sent over a
ribbon cable to the signal isolation board, 4513 390 8044. The linac serial links then
leave from sockets SK1 and SK2 on the signal isolation board. The MLC serial link is
SK3 on the LIB.
The precise function of the serial links is described in Digital Accelerator Corrective
Maintenance Manual. However, the following waveforms may be useful for diagnosis.
These waveforms should be similar both for linac serial links and the MLC serial link.
Table 3.7 shows the test points for looking at these signals for each serial link.

3.6.3 Blanking signal

The purpose of the blanking pulse is to halt serial communications between the LCS Mk2
and linac at times when noise interference from the machine is likely. The blanking signal
is active at the time when the thyratron is firing (also just before and after). The signal is
produced on the PPG card in the HT control area and is then routed through the serial
link cables to the LIB. The signal is used to inhibit communications.
Figure 3.13 shows a train of blanking pulses measured at TP9 with respect to TP12 on
the serial link isolation board. The waveform shown is for 200PRF. Figure 3.14 shows a
single blanking pulse.
