Multi-CCU system
FIG 10-19 Typical solution providing more control positions
10.8 Multi-CCU system
Multi-CCU caters for situations where more than 240 contribution units are required. Multi-CCU
systems are controlled from a separate, dedicated PC running OS.2 version 3.00 Warp operating
system, the Multi-CCU software (LBB 3586) and equipped with the LBB 3511/00 Network/Multi-
CCU card. All Multi-CCU units and the LBB 3511/00 are interconnected via a closed loop. FIG 10-20
shows a typical Multi-CCU configuration, for connection of up to a maximum of 16 LBB 3500/35
CCU’s.
10.8.1 Multi-CCU and PC interconnection
For PC setup see Chapter 5.. DCN Control using Personal Computers.
WARNING: Before connecting the computer or the CCU’s to the Multi-CCU cabling,
ensure that the mains supply is off on all units, and the voltage selection switch on the
computer is set for the correct mains voltage.
Using the Multi-CCU BNC cables, connect the Multi-CCU card’s OUT-port to the first CCU’s IN-
port. The next CCU’s IN-port must be connected to the previous CCU’s OUT-port. The OUT-port
of the final CCU must be connected to the Multi-CCU card’s IN-port (see FIG 10-20). The
interpreter desks can be connected to any CCU if the Multi-CCU mode is selected. However it is
recommended to connect all interpreter desks to one and the same CCU.
NOTES:
1.Ensure that the Multi-CCU cabling is always connected from an OUT-port of a unit to an
IN-port of another unit.
2.The maximum cable length between interconnected CCUs is 100 m. (328 ft.):
1. Checking the Multi-CCU link
When the Multi-CCU link is operating correctly, the Error LEDs of all interconnected CCU’s are off. If
not (i.e. error LEDs on), check the interconnections and unit settings.
2. Installing the Multi-CCU software package LBB 3586/00
Information on how to install the Multi-CCU software, can be found in the DCN Software User’s
Manual delivered with software package LBB 3586/00.
NOTE: For address selection see Chapter 4.7 and Chapter 5.4.
