AGFA d-lab.3 Digital Compact Lab

Repair
Scanner
Control
The Motherboard links the various Scanner
components: It holds a number of single boards
which are connected to external components.
Apart from this, the Motherboard provides the
interfaces for a number of external components.
The Main-PC controls the Scanner Hardware. The
commands are sent to an FL Controller via an
RS232 interface which transmits them via a CAN-
Bus, or processes them itself, as required.
Most of the components can output board-specific
data via an I 2 C-Bus, e.g. version numbers.

Scanner Motherboard
− The Motherboard can receive other boards.
− The Motherboard distributes the load and sensor
signals to the plug-in boards.
− The power supply for the entire Hardware is
connected to the Motherboard and filtered before
it is made available to the boards, sensors and
loads.
− The Motherboard ensures the filtering of the
signals and, if required, also the power supply for
sensors that are directly connected to the
Motherboard.
− The Motherboard has an interface to the Main-
PC (RS232) and a connection for the CAN-Bus.
