About this chapter
This text refers to the Functional Main Blocks
diagram in chapter 'Diagrams'.
Memory types used in the Servo-i
There are four different types of memories used in
the Servo-i:
• Flash memory. For software storage. Can be
upgraded / updated via a System SW Update.
Present on PC 1771, PC 1772, PC 1777 and
PC 1784.
• RAM. For temporary storage of software and data.
Present on PC 1771, PC 1772 and PC 1777.
• Non-volatile memory. RAM with battery back-up.
For settings, trends and logs. Present on PC 1771
and PC 1772.
• EEPROM. For PC board information, configuration,
calibration data, etc. Present on almost all PC
boards and in the O2cell.
User Interface
Functional Main Blocks diagram marking: 'U'
User Interface controls
Setting of different parameter input values is made
with the help of the following different interface
devices:
• Main Rotary Dial (rotary encoder with switch).
• Direct Access Control, 4 each (rotary encoders).
• Membrane buttons. Integrated parts of the Touch
screen assembly.
• Touch screen.
PC 1777 Panel
Some features included on PC 1777 Panel are:
• SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) mounted on
its connector P77. Memory type: SDRAM
• PC Card Slot intended for connection/insert of a
PC Card. PC Cards are used to:
– Download software into the different flash
memories situated on PC-boards marked µP and
into the EEPROM on PC 1770 Main Back-plane.
– Transfer patient and system data for further
transfer to a computer.
– Service purpose.
• Microprocessor on this board includes control of
the functions of the User Interface.
• ID-PROM: The ID information can be read by the
Servo-i.
• On/Off switch: Switch to Power up or Power down
the Servo-i. Refer to section 'Power supply'.
• Connection for PC (P86): Ethernet port intended for
test and service purpose. Connected via a service
cable. For future options.
• Microphone used to monitor of sounds from the
Loudspeaker.
Note: The System SW must be re-installed if PC
1777 is replaced
Loudspeaker
For generation of sound, e.g. alarm. Connected to
P72 on PC 1777 Panel.
The loudspeaker generates different tones with
individual sound volumes. At start-up and during
Pre-use check the function of the loudspeaker is
monitored by the microphone on PC 1777. During
operation it is continuously monitored through
current sensing.
Backlight Inverter
PC board with driving stage for backlight (lamps)
mounted behind the TFT Display. The supply voltage
delivered by the Backlight Inverter is 660 V.
The Backlight Inverter is connected to P73 on
PC 1777 Panel.
Touch screen assembly
The Touch screen implies the touch function of the
front panel screen and is interactive with information
displayed on the TFT Display. The front panel frame
with the touch screen, membrane buttons and DIM
sensor forms the Touch screen assembly and must
be handled as one complete part. The DIM sensor
measures the ambient light and the screen
brightness is automatically adjusted.
TFT Display with Backlight
The TFT Display is a Thin Film Transistor Screen for
color display of picture- and alphanumeric data.
The Backlight consists of two fluorescent tubes
(lamps) mounted behind the TFT Screen. They are
driven from the Backlight Inverter. Estimated lifetime
(with acceptable brightness level) for the lamps is
30.000 hours. Using the Field Service System (FSS),
a time meter for the lamps can be shown. The time
meter must be reset after replacement of the lamps.
