Xicom Technology, Inc. XTC-120D, XTC121D Redundant Controller

The XTC-120D 1:2 redundant controller is designed to allow the 1:2 redundant operation of Xicom Technology's line of digital rack-mount amplifiers. The XTC-121D provides a second set of output waveguide switches that switch the output between the antenna and a load. The controller allows for remote switching, control, and monitoring from the ground station's M&C via an RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface. Because control functions and status requests are passed through the controller to each HPA, only one customer serial line is required for complete M & C of the system. Amplifiers may also be activated and switched from the front panel.
