The COM card module type HCS3.PSN provides three functionalities.
1) Generates the internal DC voltage of 5V used as logic voltage.
2) Ethernet network interface card (NIC) to connect the controller to external network
equipment like switches, hubs or computers.
3) Serial interface according to RS422 standard.
The Ethernet interface can be used in two ways:
• Web interface (please refer to section 11)
• Remote control interface via UDP/IP protocol. It allows to integrate the controller
in an external network management system. The details of the remote control
protocol are published separately.
In most applications, the internal logic voltage and the 26V driver voltage shall be redundant.
Thus, two hot-pluggable COM card modules can be installed in each main

frame, type HCS3.PSN or HCS3.PSC in slot A1 and type HCS3.PSC in slot A13. The
5V logic voltage as well as the 26V driver voltage are constantly monitored.
The COM card module type HCS3.PSN
The COM card module type HCS3.PSC provides dual functionality.
1) Generates the internal DC voltage of 5V used as logic voltage.
2) Serial interface according to RS422 standard.
The serial interface can be used in two ways:
• Serial interface for configuration of the controller with a software called
HCS3.Opto to be installed on an external Windows PC connected to the controller
via the serial interface (please refer to section 10). This is the method to
configure the controller if the card module HCS3.PSN with its Web interface is
not available.
• Serial remote control interface if a module card HCS3.PSN with Ethernet interface
is not available. It allows to integrate the controller in an external network
management system. The details of the remote control protocol are published
separately.
Switch / Drive Card Module HCS3.SWI
The HCS3 SWI-Card Module is mainly be used as input/ output device for control and
monitoring of Waveguide Switch SW
In total there are 4 actor outputs available which could be connected in parallel when
higher drive currents required.
Com Card Modules HCS2.422
The Com Card Modules for the HCS Controller provide a serial interface of the controller
according to RS422 standard.
The interface is used for communication with an external NMS and the configuration
program.
HCS3.CSF Control-Switch with F-Connectors
The HCS3 CSF-Card Module used as RF switching device integrated into the HCS3
chassis. The RF switch type SPDT is integrated and controlled by the module which
needs one slot positions in the mounting frame. The module can be applied in frequency
ranges from DC 1000 to 2200 MHz.
All LNBS can be monitored and controlled via WEB-interface. For the controller HCS3 a
driver for Visionic has been developed and applied in several projects.
The power supply of the LNBs will be very similar to the 2 nd application

Input / Output Card Module (HCS3.IO3)
The input/output card module type HCS3.IO3 has the following functionalities:
• Provides the DC power for the FO module and for the LNB (if required)
• Measures the physical parameters of the module by digitizing the analogue controlvoltages
provided by the fiber optic module
• Senses FO module alarms. The alarm levels are freely configurable via the Web interface
or the software HCS3.Opto
The input/output card module type HCS3.IO3 has 2 programmable power supplies with current
control and 6 inputs for monitoring. The input ranges and alarm limits are adjustable.
The supply outputs are protected against short circuit.
Each module shall be connected one-by-one to its corresponding FO module.
