4. General Information
The devices of which the SCM-TLC system consists are all made in 19" 2U rack
containers,withtheexceptionofthe TLC300, which is 19" 1U size.
Entirelyassembledwith modulesfittedonthebaseofthedeviceand connectedwith
snap-infittingconnectors,theyareeasilyremoved,substitutedand added.
Onthefront panelisaclear graphicaluserinterfacewhich allowsyoutoread andset
theoperatingparameters; the entire system can becontrolledusinga simple knob
(encoder).
On the front panel there is also a set of LEDs, again depending on the preset
configuration,whichshowsystemstatus at a glance.
Ontherearpanelareall oftheconnectorstobeusedfor connectingthedevicetothe
variousstationcomponents.
TheSCM-TLCautomaticchangeoverandtelemetrysystemandrelativemanagement
softwareweredesignedto solveallofthoseproblemsarising from themanagement
ofradiostationslocatedinareasthatarenoteasilyreached or which would require
asignificantamountoftime for the operator to reach.
Thesystemhas the followingmainfunctions:
•managementof several radio stationsby remote connection witha data-phone
modem;
•telemetrizationofall operatingparametersofthedevices presentineachstation;
•storageinthememoryofevents which caused faults;
•automaticchangeover in "1+1" or "N+1" radio transmissionsystems.
Thissystemallows remotemanagementofthe radiostation,allowingthe operatorto
interveneimmediatelyintheevent of afault.
The great flexibility of the SCM-TLC system allows an increase in the number of
devices controlled or modification of the station layout at any time, without
necessitating radical changes in the management system, but simply adding
expansioncardswhichallowanincreaseinthenumberofoperatingparametersthat
canbemanaged.
The SCM-TLC system was designed to operate at its best with all R.V.R. devices,
butcanalsofunctionwithdevicesnot made by R.V.R., provided that they make the
mainoperatingparametersavailableexternallybymeansofanalogsignalswithvalues
between 0 and +5V.
Themanagementsoftwarehasauserfriendly interface and can be managedusing
anypersonalcomputer withtheWINDOWS™environment.

4.1 Configuration
TheSCM-TLC system has twomain types of operation,within which there maybe
variousversions,dependingonthenumberofdataacquisitioncardsfitted: automatic
changeover(1+1orN+1) and telemetry, or justtelemetry.
4.1.1 Automatic change over and telemetry
Two types of devices control this type of operation:
•SCM1+1-LCD:automaticchangeoverbetweenthemaintransmitterandastand-
bytransmitter;supportsupto3additionaltelemetrycardsforatotalof30balanced
analoginputs,58digital/analoginputsand24relayoutputs.
•SCM4+1-LCD:automatic change over among several maintransmitters(upto
4)andastand-bytransmitter,automaticallyconfiguredtosubstitutethetransmitter
affected by the fault (the stand-by must have an external control for setting the
operatingfrequency);supportsup to2additionaltelemetrycards,for atotalof27
balancedanalog inputs,52unbalanceddigital/analoginputsand16relayoutputs.
4.1.2 Telemetry
Two devices are available for station telemetry, depending on complexity and the
numberofparametersto be acquired:
•TLC300:includes2telemetrycards,fora total of 16 balanced analog inputs, 32
digital/analoginputsand16relayoutputs.
•TLC2000:supportsup to 6 additional telemetry cards, foratotalof48balanced
analoginputs,96unbalanceddigital/analoginputsand 48 relay outputs.
