Alaris® Gateway Workstation
Circuit Descriptions
Module Overview Functional Description
Services Board and Single Board Computer
The Single Board Computer (SBC) is an off the shelf processor board supplied to CareFusion Corporation by DSP Designs. The SBC
connects both mechanically and electrically to the Services Board PCB which provides the processor with the peripheral external
interfaces. The SBC also contains the 512 MByte Compact Flash card. Also available on the Services Board is a PCMCIA connector into
which attaches the Cisco wireless card and antenna.
Low Voltage Power System Board
The Low Voltage Power System Board (LVPS) provides the Workstation with low voltage DC power. The LVPS Board gets power from the
PSU module connected to the AC mains supply. A smart rechargeable battery pack is connected to the LVPS Board as a second power
source used when the AC mains is unavailable; this makes the LVPS Board act as a UPS.
The LVPS Board has an on-board charger that is responsible for keeping the smart battery pack charged. The LVPS Board provides
regulated 3.3V and 5V to the Services Board and also provides either +15V from the power supply or battery terminal voltage to the
Tile Boards. The circuitry for switching on and off the Docking Station is on the LVPS Board, which the User activates with an externally
mounted keypad.
Tile Board
In the Workstation the Tile Board provides the interface to the pumps providing power (directly from the AC mains) and an IrDA port for
communication with the pumps. The Tile board itself communicates via the Internal Switched Ethernet to the SBC. The Tile board also
controls the Visual Status Indicator and Nurse Call interface directly without the need for the SBC to be fitted.
The Tile Board is designed in four different configurations:
• Vertical mount, two tiles high
• Vertical mount, three tiles high
• Horizontal mount, two tiles wide
• Horizontal mount, three tiles wide
To enable the modular construction, Tile Boards connect in series to extend the number of tiles within the Workstation as the
configuration shape grows.
Ethernet Isolation Board
The function of the Ethernet Isolation Board is to provide electrical separation between the internal electronics of the Workstation
and the external Ethernet connections. This board isolates both the primary 10 Base T / 100 Base-Tx interface and also the Ethernet
connection with an Auxiliary Docking Station. The board also provides the relay for the nurse call function.
Power Supply Unit
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) converts AC mains voltage into +15VDC used to power all electronic sub-systems within the Workstation
when AC mains is connected. The AC mains input is implemented as a spur off the Live and Neutral wiring within the device that also
provides AC mains power to the pumps and to the AC mains outlet connector.
Battery Pack
A 9.6v, 2.7A internal battery provides a UPS function should a temporary disconnection from the AC mains power supply occur. The
NiMH battery pack includes a gas gauge and supports the SMB interface.
