Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions should be observed before usingthis product and any associated instrumentation. Although some in-struments and accessories would normally be used with non-haz-ardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditionsmay be present.

This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recog-nize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions re-quired to avoid possible injury. Read the operating informationcarefully before using the product.

The types of product users are:

Responsible body

is the individual or group responsible for the useand maintenance of equipment, and for ensuring that operators areadequately trained.

Operators

use the product for its intended function. They must betrained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the instru-ment. They must be protected from electric shock and contact withhazardous live circuits.

Maintenance personnel

perform routine procedures on the productto keep it operating, for example, setting the line voltage or replac-ing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described inthe manual. The procedures explicitly state if the operator may per-form them. Otherwise, they should be performed only by servicepersonnel.

Service personnel

are trained to work on live circuits, and performsafe installations and repairs of products. Only properly trained ser-vice personnel may perform installation and service procedures.

Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethalvoltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures. TheAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shockhazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30V RMS, 42.4Vpeak, or 60VDC are present.

A good safety practice is to ex-pect that hazardous voltage is present in any un-known circuit before measuring.

Users of this product must be protected from electric shock at alltimes. The responsible body must ensure that users are preventedaccess and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases,connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Productusers in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselvesfrom the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operatingat or above 1000 volts,

no conductive part of the circuit may beexposed.

As described in the International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multimeter measuring circuits(e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2010)measuring circuits are Installation Category II. All other instru-ments’ signal terminals are Installation Category I and must not beconnected to mains.

Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits.They are intended to be used with impedance limited sources.NEVER connect switching cards directly to AC mains. When con-necting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to lim-it fault current and voltage to the card.

Before operating an instrument, make sure the line cord is connect-ed to a properly grounded power receptacle. Inspect the connectingcables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaksbefore each use.

For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or anyother instruments while power is applied to the circuit under test.ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and dischargeany capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jump-ers, installing or removing switching cards, or making internalchanges, such as installing or removing jumpers.

Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to thecommon side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground.Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on adry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage beingmeasured.

Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and ac-cessories, as defined in the specifications and operating informa-tion, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture panels, orswitching card.

When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type and ratingfor continued protection against fire hazard.

Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections formeasuring circuits, NOT as safety earth ground connections.

If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is ap-plied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the use of alid interlock.

If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground using thewire recommended in the user documentation.

The symbol on an instrument indicates that the user should re-fer to the operating instructions located in the manual.

The symbol on an instrument shows that it can source or mea-sure 1000 volts or more, including the combined effect of normaland common mode voltages. Use standard safety precautions toavoid personal contact with these voltages.

The

WARNING

heading in a manual explains dangers that mightresult in personal injury or death. Always read the associated infor-mation very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.

The

CAUTION

heading in a manual explains hazards that coulddamage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.

Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.

Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord andall test cables.

To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacementcomponents in mains circuits, including the power transformer, testleads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instru-ments. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals,may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other componentsthat are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers aslong as they are equivalent to the original component. (Note that se-lected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instrumentsto maintain accuracy and functionality of the product.) If you areunsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call aKeithley Instruments office for information.

To clean the instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water basedcleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not applycleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spillon the instrument.

Introduction

WARNING

The procedures in this section areintended only for qualified ser-vice personnel. Do not performthese procedures unless qualifiedto do so. Failure to recognize andobserve normal safety precau-tions could result in personalinjury or death.

The information in this section is arranged as follows:

•

Handling precautions

Explains precautionsthat must be followed to prevent contamination to theswitch card. Contamination could degrade the perfor-mance of the card.

•

Multi-pin (mass termination) connections

Covers the basics for connecting external circuitry tothe connector card.

•

Model 7036 installation and removal

Pro-vides the procedures to install and remove the Model7036 switch card from the Model 7001/7002 main-frame.

Handling precautions

To maintain high impedance isolation, care should be takenwhen handling the card to avoid contamination from such for-eign materials as body oils. Such contamination can substan-tially lower leakage resistances and degrade performance.

To avoid possible contamination, always grasp the relay cardand the connector card by the side edges or shields. Do nottouch the board surfaces or components. On connectors, donot touch areas adjacent to the electrical contacts. Dirtbuildup over a period of time is another possible source ofcontamination. To avoid this problem, operate the mainframeand switch card in a clean environment.


3-2

If a card becomes contaminated, it should be thoroughlycleaned as explained in Section 5.

WARNING

The following connection infor-mation is intended to be used byqualified service personnel. Fail-ure to recognize and observestandard safety precautionscould result in personal injury ordeath.

Multi-pin (mass termination)connections

Since connections to external circuitry are made at the 96-pinmale DIN bulkhead connector, there is no need to separatethe connector card from the relay card. If the connector cardis separated from the relay card, carefully mate themtogether and install the supplied 4-40 screw to secure thecards. Make sure to handle the cards by the edges and shieldsto avoid contamination.

Terminal identification for the DIN connector of the multi-pin connector card is provided by Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1.This connector will mate to a 96-pin female DIN connector.

Keithley has a variety of cable and connector accessoriesavailable to accommodate connections from the connectorcard to test instrumentation and DUTs (devices under test).In general, these accessories, which are summarized inTable 3-2, utilize a custom-built cable assembly forconnections.

Typical connection technique

All external circuitry, such as instrumentation and DUTs,that you want to connect to the switch card must be termi-nated with a single 96-pin female DIN connector. The fol-lowing connection techniques provide some guidelines andsuggestions for wiring your circuitry.

WARNING

Before beginning any wiring pro-cedures, make sure all power isoff and stored energy in externalcircuitry is discharged.

WARNING

When wiring a connector, do notleave any exposed wires. No con-ductive part of the circuit may beexposed. Properly cover the con-ductive parts, or death by elec-tric shock may occur.

CAUTION

The 7011-MTC-2 cable is notintended to be used with theModel 7036. Pins 1 and 33 in thecable are internally shorted, butthe Model 7036 uses these pinsfor signaling. Using the 7011-MTC-2 cable with the Model 7036will short out the system andcause equipment damage.

NOTE

It is recommended that external cir-cuitry be connected (plugged in) afterthe Model 7036 is installed in the Model7001/7002 mainframe. Installation iscovered at the end of this section.

In Figure 3-2, connections are accomplished using a custom-built cable assembly that consists of a Model 7011-KIT-Rconnector and a suitable round cable. Hitachi part numberN2807-P/D-50TAB is a round, 50-conductor cable. Twocables can be used to provide 100 conductors. The connectorhas solder cups to accommodate the individual wires of theunterminated cable. Figure 3-3 provides an exploded view ofthe connector assembly and shows how the cable is con-nected. For further Model 7011-KIT-R assembly informa-tion, refer to the packing list provided with the kit. Theconnector end of the resultant cable assembly mates directlyto the multi-pin connector card. The unterminated end of thecable assembly is wired directly to instrumentation andDUT.

Relay organization of the channel status display for each slotis shown in Figure 4-5. The relay card contains 40 channelsas shown in the illustration.

Figure 4-5

Display organization for relay card channels

To control the relay card from the mainframe, each relaymust have a unique channel assignment, which includes theslot number that the card is installed in. The channel assign-ments for the relay card are provided in Figure 4-6. Eachchannel assignment is made up of the slot designator (1 or 2)and the relay card channel. For the Model 7002, the slot des-ignator can be from 1 to 10 since there are ten slots. To beconsistent with Model 7001/7002 operation, the slot desig-nator and relay card channel are separated by an exclamationpoint (!). Some examples of CHANNEL assignments are asfollows:

CHANNEL 1!1 = Slot 1, Channel 1CHANNEL 1!20 = Slot 1, Channel 20CHANNEL 2!2 = Slot 2, Channel 2CHANNEL 2!6 = Slot 2, Channel 6

These channels are displayed and controlled from the normaldisplay state of the mainframe. If currently in the menustructure, return to the normal display state by pressingEXIT.

Front panel control

NOTE

For the Model 7002, you can use the lightpen to open and close channels.

Closing and opening channels

A channel is closed from the front panel by simply keying inthe channel assignment and then pressing CLOSE. Forexample, to close channel 16 of a relay card installed in slot2, key in the following channel list and press CLOSE:

SELECT CHANNELS 2!16

The above closed channel can be opened by pressing OPENor OPEN ALL. The OPEN key opens only the channels spec-ified in the channel list, and OPEN ALL opens all channels.

The following display is an example of a channel list thatconsists of several channels:

SELECT CHANNELS 2!1, 2!3, 2!12-2!15

Notice that channel entries are separated by commas (,). Acomma is inserted by pressing ENTER or the right cursorkey (

'

). The channel range is specified by using the hyphen(-) key to separate the range limits. Pressing CLOSE willclose all the channels specified in the channel list. PressingOPEN (or OPEN ALL) will open the channels.

Channel patterns can also be used in a channel list. Thisallows you to control specific bit patterns for logic circuits.Example:

SELECT CHANNELS 2!1, M1

Pressing CLOSE will turn on channel 2!1 and the channelsthat make up channel pattern M1. Refer to the mainframeinstruction manual for information on defining channelpatterns.

Scanning channels

Channels are scanned by creating a scan list and configuringthe Model 7001/7002 to perform a scan. The scan list is cre-ated in the same manner as a channel list (see Closing andopening channels). However, the scan list is specified fromthe SCAN CHANNELS display mode. (The SCAN LISTkey toggles between the channel list and the scan list.) Thefollowing shows an example of a scan list:

SCAN CHANNELS 2!1, 2!3, 2!11-2!15

When a scan is performed, the channels specified in the scanlist will be scanned in the order that they are presented in thescan list.

A manual scan can be performed using the RESET defaultconditions of the Model 7001/7002. RESET is selected fromthe SAVESETUP menu of the main MENU. When RESETis performed, the mainframe is configured for an infinitenumber of manual scans. The first press of STEP takes themainframe out of the idle state. The next press of STEP willclose the first channel specified in the scan list. Each subse-quent press of STEP will select the next channel in the scanlist.

Operation

4-6

IEEE-488 bus operation

Bus operation is demonstrated using Microsoft QuickBASIC4.5, the Keithley KPC-488.2 (or Capital Equipment Corpo-ration) IEEE interface, and the HP-style Universal LanguageDriver (CECHP). Refer to “QuickBASIC 4.5 Programming”in the mainframe manual for details on installing the Univer-sal Language Driver, opening driver files, and setting theinput terminal. Program statements assume that the primaryaddress of the mainframe is 07.

Closing and opening channels

The following SCPI commands are used to close and openchannels:

:CLOSe <list>

Closes specified channels.

:OPEN <list>|ALL

Opens specified (or all) channels.

The following program statement closes channels 1!1, 1!4through 1!6, and the channels that make up channel patternM1.

PRINT #1, "output 07; clos (@ 1!1, 1!4:1!6,M1)"

Notice that the colon (:) is used to separate the range limits.

Either of the following statements opens channels 1!1, 1!4through 1!6, and the channels of M1:

PRINT #1, "output 07; open (@ 1!1, 1!4:1!6,

M1)"

PRINT #1, "output 07; open all"

Scanning channels

There are many commands associated with scanning. How-ever, it is possible to configure a scan using as little as fourcommands. These commands are listed as follows:

*RST

:TRIGger:COUNt:AUTo ON

:ROUTe:SCAN <list>

:INIT

The first command resets the mainframe to a default scanconfiguration. The second command automatically sets thechannel count to the number of channels in the scan list, thethird command defines the scan list, and the fourth commandtakes the Model 7001/7002 out of the idle state.

The following program fragment will perform a single scanof channels 1 through 4 of slot 1 and the channels that makeup channel pattern M1:

PRINT #1, "output 07; *rst"

PRINT #1, "output 07; trig:coun:auto on"

PRINT #1, "output 07; scan (@ 1!1:1!4, M1)"

PRINT #1, "output 07; init"

The first statement selects the *RST default configuration forthe scan. The second statement sets channel count to thescan-list-length (5). The third statement defines the scan list,and the last statement takes the mainframe out of the idlestate. The scan is configured to start as soon as the :INITcommand is executed.

When the previous program fragment is run, the scan will becompleted in approximately 240msec (3msec delay forchannel closures and 3msec delay for each open), which istoo fast to view from the front panel. An additional relaydelay can be added to the program to slow down the scan forviewing. The program is modified by adding a statement toslow down the scan. Also, a statement is added to the begin-ning of the program to ensure that all channels are openbefore the scan is started. The two additional statements areindicated in bold typeface.

PRINT #1, "output 07; open all"

PRINT #1, "output 07; *rst"

PRINT #1, "output 07; trig:coun:auto on"

PRINT #1, "output 07; trig:del 0.5"

PRINT #1, "output 07; scan (@ 1!1:1!4, M1)"

PRINT #1, "output 07; init"

The first statement opens all channels, and the fourth state-ment sets a 1/2 second delay after each channel closes.

Measurement considerations

Many measurements made with the Model 7036 are subjectto various effects that can seriously affect low-level measure-ment accuracy. The following paragraphs discuss theseeffects and ways to minimize them.

Path isolation

The path isolation is simply the equivalent impedancebetween any two test paths in a measurement system. Ideally,the path isolation should be infinite, but the actual resistanceand distributed capacitance of cables and connectors resultsin less than infinite path isolation values for these devices.

Path isolation resistance forms a signal path that is in parallelwith the equivalent resistance of the DUT, as shown in Fig-ure 4-7. For low-to-medium device resistance values, pathisolation resistance is seldom a consideration; however, itcan seriously degrade measurement accuracy when testinghigh-impedance devices. The voltage measured across sucha device, for example, can be substantially attenuated by thevoltage divider action of the device source resistance andpath isolation resistance, as shown in Figure 4-8. Also, leak-age currents can be generated through these resistances byvoltage sources in the system.

Figure 4-7

Path isolation resistance

Figure 4-8

Voltage attenuation by path isolation resistance

Any differential isolation capacitance affects DC measure-ment settling time as well as AC measurement accuracy.Thus, it is often important that such capacitance be kept aslow as possible. Although the distributed capacitance of theswitch card is generally fixed by design, there is one areawhere you do have control over the capacitance in your sys-tem: the connecting cables. To minimize capacitance, keepall cables as short as possible.

Magnetic fields

When a conductor cuts through magnetic lines of force, avery small current is generated. This phenomenon will fre-quently cause unwanted signals to occur in the test leads of arelay switching system. If the conductor has sufficientlength, even weak magnetic fields like those of the earth cancreate sufficient signals to affect low-level measurements.

Two ways to reduce these effects are: (1) reduce the lengthsof the test leads, and (2) minimize the exposed circuit area.In extreme cases, magnetic shielding may be required. Spe-cial metal with high permeability at low flux densities (suchas mu metal) is effective at reducing these effects.

Even when the conductor is stationary, magnetically inducedsignals may still be a problem. Fields can be produced byvarious signals such as the AC power line voltage. Largeinductors such as power transformers can generate substan-tial magnetic fields, so care must be taken to keep the switch-ing and measuring circuits a good distance away from thesepotential noise sources.

At high current levels, even a single conductor can generatesignificant fields. These effects can be minimized by usingtwisted pairs, which will cancel out most of the resultingfields.

Radio frequency interference

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a general term used todescribe electromagnetic interference over a wide range offrequencies across the spectrum. Such RFI can be particu-larly troublesome at low signal levels, but it can also affectmeasurements at high levels if the problem is of sufficientseverity.

RFI can be caused by steady-state sources such as radio orTV signals or some types of electronic equipment (micropro-cessors, high speed digital circuits, etc.), or it can result fromimpulse sources, as in the case of arcing in high-voltage envi-ronments. In either case, the effect on the measurement canbe considerable if enough of the unwanted signal is present.

RFI can be minimized in several ways. The most obviousmethod is to keep the equipment and signal leads as far awayfrom the RFI source as possible. Shielding the Model 7036switch card, signal leads, sources, and measuring instru-ments will often reduce RFI to an acceptable level. Inextreme cases, a specially constructed screen room may berequired to sufficiently attenuate the troublesome signal.

Many instruments incorporate internal filtering that mayhelp to reduce RFI effects in some situations. In some cases,additional external filtering may also be required. Keep inmind, however, that filtering may have detrimental effects onthe desired signal.

Ground loops

When two or more instruments are connected together, caremust be taken to avoid unwanted signals caused by groundloops. Ground loops usually occur when sensitive instru-mentation is connected to other instrumentation with morethan one signal return path such as power line ground. As

shown in Figure 4-9, the resulting ground loop causes cur-rent to flow through the instrument LO signal leads and thenback through power line ground. This circulating currentdevelops a small, but undesirable, voltage between the LOterminals of the two instruments. This voltage will be addedto the source voltage, affecting the accuracy of the measure-ment.

Figure 4-10 shows how to connect several instruments to-gether to eliminate this type of ground loop problem. Here,only one instrument is connected to power line ground.

Ground loops are not normally a problem with instrumentshaving isolated LO terminals. However, all instruments inthe test setup may not be designed in this manner. When indoubt, consult the manual for all instrumentation in the testsetup.

Keeping connectors clean

As is the case with any high-resistance device, the integrityof connectors can be damaged if they are not handled prop-erly. If connector insulation becomes contaminated, the insu-lation resistance will be substantially reduced, affectinghigh-impedance measurement paths.

Oils and salts from the skin can contaminate connector insu-lators, reducing their resistance. Also, contaminants presentin the air can be deposited on the insulator surface. To avoid

these problems, never touch the connector insulating mate-rial. In addition, the Model 7036 card should be used only inclean, dry environments to avoid contamination.

If the connector insulators should become contaminated,either by inadvertent touching or from airborne deposits,they can be cleaned with a cotton swab dipped in clean meth-anol. After thorough cleaning, they should be allowed to dryfor several hours in a low-humidity environment before use,or they can be dried more quickly using dry nitrogen.

AC frequency response

The AC frequency response of the Model 7036 is importantin test systems that switch AC signals. Refer to the specifica-tions at the front of this manual.

Handling and cleaning precautions

Because of the high impedance circuits on the Model 7036,care should be taken when handling or servicing the card toprevent possible contamination that could degrade perfor-mance. The following precautions should be taken whenhandling the switch card.

Do not store or operate the card in an environment wheredust could settle on the circuit board. Use dry nitrogen gas toclean dust off the card if necessary.

Handle the card only by the side edges and shields. Do nottouch any board surfaces, components, or connectors. Do nottouch areas adjacent to electrical contacts. When servicingthe card, wear clean cotton gloves.

If making solder repairs on the circuit board, use anOA-based (organic activated) flux. Remove the flux fromthese areas when the repair is complete. Use pure wateralong with plenty of clean cotton swabs to remove the flux.Take care not to spread the flux to other areas of the circuitboard. Once the flux has been removed, swab only therepaired area with methanol, then blowdry the board withdry nitrogen gas.

After cleaning, the card should be placed in a 50

°

C lowhumidity environment for several hours.

One method to make instrument connections to the switchcard is to hard-wire a 96-pin female DIN connector and thenmate it to the connector on the Model 7036. Shorting con-nections can also be done at the connector. The connector inthe Model 7011-KIT-R connection kit (see Table 3-2) can beused for this purpose. Pin identification for the multi-pinconnector for the relay card is provided by Figure 3-1 andTable 3-1.

WARNING

When wiring a connector, do not leaveany exposed wires. No conductive partof the circuit may be exposed. Properlycover the conductive parts, or death byelectric shock may occur.

CAUTION

After making solder connections to aconnector, remove solder flux asexplained at the beginning of this sec-tion. Failure to clean the solder connec-tions could result in degradedperformance, preventing the card frompassing verification tests.

8. Repeat the basic procedure in steps 1 through 7 to testthe rest of the channels of the Model 7036.

Channel to channel isolation tests

These tests check the leakage resistance (isolation) betweenadjacent channels. A channel is simply the circuit from theinput (IN) to the output (OUT) that results by closing thechannel relay.

In general, the test is performed by applying a voltage(+42V) across two adjacent channels and then measuring theleakage current across the channels. The isolation resistanceis then calculated as R = V/I. In the following procedure, theModel 6517A functions as both a voltage source and anammeter. In the R function, the Model 6517A internally cal-culates the resistance from the known voltage and currentlevels and displays the resistance value.

Special handling of static-sensitive devices

CMOS and other high-impedance devices are subject to pos-sible static discharge damage because of the high-impedancelevels involved. The following precautions pertain specifi-cally to static-sensitive devices. However, since manydevices in the Model 7036 are static-sensitive, it is recom-mended that they all be treated as static-sensitive.

1. Such devices should be transported and handled only incontainers specially designed to prevent or dissipatestatic buildup. Typically, these devices will be receivedin anti-static containers made of plastic or foam. Keepthese parts in their original containers until ready forinstallation.

2. Remove the devices from their protective containersonly at a properly grounded work station. Also, groundyourself with a suitable wrist strap while working withthese devices.

3. Handle the devices only by the body; do not touch thepins.

4. Any printed circuit board into which the device is to beinserted must first be grounded to the bench or table.

5. Use only anti-static type de-soldering tools andgrounded-tip soldering irons.

Principles of operation

The paragraphs below discuss the basic operating principlesfor the Model 7036 and can be used as an aid in troubleshoot-ing the switch card. The schematic drawings of the switchcard are shown on drawing numbers 7036-106 and 7036-176located at the end of Section 6.

Block diagram

Figure 5-6 shows a simplified block diagram of theModel 7036. Key elements include the relay drivers andrelays, as well as the ROM, which contains card ID and con-figuration information. These various elements are discussedin the following paragraphs.

ID data circuits

Upon power-up, card identification information from eachcard is read by the mainframe. This ID data includes suchinformation as card ID, hardware settling time, and relayconfiguration information.

ID data is contained within an on-card EEPROM (U107). Inorder to read this information, the sequence described belowis performed on power-up.

1. The IDDATA line (pin 5 of U107) is set from high to lowwhile the IDCLK line (pin 6 of U107) is held high. Thisaction initiates a start command to the ROM to transmitdata serially to the mainframe (Figure 5-7).

Figure 5-7

Start and stop sequences

2. The mainframe sends the ROM address location to beread over the IDDATA line. The ROM then transmits anacknowledge signal back to the mainframe, and it thentransmits data at that location back to the mainframe(Figure 5-8).

3. The mainframe then transmits an acknowledge signal,indicating that it requires more data. The ROM will thensequentially transmit data after each acknowledge sig-nal it receives.

4. Once all data is received, the mainframe sends a stopcommand, which is a low-to-high transition of theIDDATA line with the IDCLK line held high(Figure 5-7).

Relay control

Card relays are controlled by serial data transmitted via therelay DATA line. A total of five bytes for each card areshifted in serial fashion into latches located in the card relaydriver ICs. The serial data is clocked in by the CLK line. Asdata overflows one register, it is fed out the Q’s line of theregister down the chain.

Once all five bytes have shifted into the card, the STROBEline is set high to latch the relay information into the Q out-puts of the relay drivers, and the appropriate relays are ener-gized (assuming the driver outputs are enabled, as discussedbelow). Note that a relay driver output goes low to energizethe corresponding relay.

Relay power control

A relay power control circuit, made up of Q101, Q102,U106, U108, and associated components, keeps power dissi-pated in relay coils at a minimum, thus reducing possibleproblems caused by thermal EMFs.

During steady-state operation, the relay supply voltage, +V,is regulated to +3.5V to minimize coil power dissipation.When a relay is first closed, the STROBE pulse applied toU106 changes the parameters of the relay supply voltage reg-ulator, Q101, allowing the relay supply voltage, +V, to rise to+5.7V for about 100msec. This brief voltage rise ensures thatrelays close as quickly as possible. After the 100msec periodhas elapsed, the relay supply voltage (+V) drops back downto its nominal steady-state value of +3.5V.

Power-on safeguard

NOTE

The power-on safeguard circuit dis-cussed below is actually located on thedigital board in the Model 7001/7002mainframe.

A power-on safeguard circuit, made up of U114 (a D-typeflip-flop) and associated components, ensures that relays donot randomly energize on power-up and power-down. Thiscircuit disables all relays (all relays are open) during power-up and power-down periods.

The PRESET line on the D-type flip-flop is controlled by the68302 microprocessor, while the CLK line of the D-typeflip-flop is controlled by a port line on the 68302 processor.The Q output of the flip-flop drives each switch card relaydriver IC enable pin (U101-U105, pin 8).

When the 68302 microprocessor is in the reset mode, theflip-flop PRESET line is held low, and Q out immediatelygoes high, disabling all relays (relay driver IC enable pins arehigh, disabling the relays.) After the reset condition elapses(

≈

200msec), PRESET goes high while Q out stays high.When the first valid STROBE pulse occurs, a low logic levelis clocked into the D-type flip-flop, setting Q out low andenabling all relay drivers simultaneously. Note that Q outstays low, (enabling relay drivers) until the 68302 processorgoes into a reset condition.

Troubleshooting procedure

Table 5-4 summarizes switch card troubleshooting.

WARNING

Lethal voltages are present within theModel 7001/7002 mainframe. Some ofthe procedures may expose you to haz-ardous voltages. Observe standardsafety precautions for dealing with livecircuits. Failure to do so could result inpersonal injury or death.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions whentroubleshooting or repairing the switchcard:

To avoid contamination, which coulddegrade card performance, always han-dle the card only by the handle and sideedges. Do not touch edge connectors,board surfaces, or components on thecard. Also, do not touch areas adjacentto electrical contacts on connectors.

Use care when removing relays from thePC board to avoid pulling traces awayfrom the circuit board. Before attempt-ing to remove a relay, use an appropri-ate de-soldering tool such as a soldersucker to clear each mounting holecompletely free of solder. Each relay pinmust be free to move in its mountinghole before removal. Also, make certainthat no burrs are present on the ends ofthe relay pins.
