Figure 7 : Command output and tally input.<br />
Figure 7 shows a block diagram of the command and tally interface.<br />
There are 8 command relays used for transport commands : PLAY, STOP, RECORD, FORWARD<br />
WIND, REWIND, PAUSE, REHEARSE and LIFTER DEFEAT. Each relay has a common<br />
reference (CMDREF) which goes to the parallel machine connector to allow each interface to<br />
connect the reference to a level suitable for the machine to be controlled. An independent<br />
change-over relay is provided for switching servo enable signals.<br />
The KERNEL microprocessor controls the relays via a 74HC377 octal latch (U25), the outputs of<br />
which drive the relays through an open collector driver. The relay outputs are disabled during<br />
power up by Q2. The microprocessor enables them by setting the EN_OP line low. The servo relay<br />
(K7) is separate from the command relays and is driven by the S_RLY line generated by the FPGA<br />
SPLIT.<br />
The ES/2 is capable of reading 4 tallies from the machine : RECORD, End of Tape, RECORD<br />
ENABLE and spare. Each tally input is fed into 2 opto-isolators whose common go to the parallel<br />
machine connector to allow the ES/2 to read tallies of either sense. The outputs of the optos can be<br />
read by the KERNEL microprocessor via the tally buffer - U21, a 74HC374 - also used to read the<br />
