4.3 Features Required of a Third-Party VMEbus Base
In order to use a 575 CPU in a third-party VMEbus base, the base must
conform to the following requirements:
• Each 575 CPU must be supplied with +5 V STDBY power, in order to
avoid unpredictable operation. Table 4-5 in Section 4.15 and Table B-4
in Appendix B list the requirements for the 575 CPU that you are
using. Note that if you connect +5 V STDBY to +5 V, you will need to
reload the user program in each of the installed 575 CPUs after every
power cycle.
!
WARNING
The +5 V STDBY power must be supplied to each 575 CPU.
A 575 CPU without this +5 V STDBY power supply may appear to operate
properly; nevertheless, erratic and unpredictable operation can occur that
could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to
equipment.
The +5 V STDBY power must meet the requirements for the 575 CPU. (See
Table 4-5 in Section 4.15 and Table B-4 in Appendix B.)
• The VMEbus power monitor function must be supplied. The power
monitor must provide both SYSRESET* and ACFAIL*.
To use the 575 CPU as the slot 1 master (that is, as system controller) in a
third-party base, you must provide a means for the 575 to determine the
condition of the battery. A high (+5 V) signal on the slot 1 BGIN2* line
indicates a charged battery; a low (ground) signal indicates an absent or
discharged battery. You must provide a way to force a battery-bad indication
(BGIN2* driven low) in order to perform a battery-bad restart.
NOTE: If BGIN2* is left open, then the battery test always indicates a
charged battery, and a battery-bad restart is not possible.
The 575 CPU installed in slot 1 tests the condition of the battery once every
minute: it drives the BGIN0* and BGIN1* signals to the low state for 100
milliseconds and then examines the BGIN2* signal. In the 575 VMEbus
base, this is used to place the battery under load so that the battery status
reflects the battery’s true condition. You can implement external circuitry to
provide a similar capability for your third-party base, if desired.
