CONTROL PROCESSOR (CP) AMD GEODE -300MHZ ALL CONTROL ACTIONS ARE ACHIEVED BY EXECUTIING PROGRAMS FROM THE 128MB SDRAM . IOM PROCESSOR (IOM) MOTOROLA 68332 MICROCONTROLLER. RESPONSIBLE FOR SCANNING ALL THE I/O MODULES CONNECTED TO THE DPU. THIS FUNCTION IS ACHIEVED BY MEANS OF THE IOM FPGA. SHARED MEMORY FACILITATES SHARING OF DATA BETWEEN THE CP & IOM. THIS DATA SHARING IS CONTROLLED BY THE SHARED MEMORY FPGA. COMPACT FLASH (64MB/128MB ). THIS CARRIES: DPU SOFTWARE FILES. DPU INITIALISATION INFORMATION. CONTROL ALGORITHM WHICH IS DOWNLOADED BY USER USING DPUTOOLS UTILITY. NETWORK CONTROLLER ICs.

DPU4F- COMPACT FLASH MEMORY

DPU SOFTWARE FILES IN THE COMPACT FLASH : WIN CE .NET OS & BIOS. IOM FIRMWARE . FIRMWARE FOR SHARED MEMORY FPGA FIRMWARE FOR IOM FPGA IOM DIAGNOSTIC CODE . THE DPU INITIALIZATION FILE. DPU INITIALIZATION FILE IN THE COMPACT FLASH CONTAINS: DPU NAME IP ADDRESS OTHER CONFIGURATION INFORMATION. COMPACT FLASH IS NON-VOLATILE & CAN BE MOVED FROM ONE DPU TO ANOTHER. ABOVE FILES CAN BE DOWNLOADED TO THE DPU USING THE DPU4F SETUP UTILITY . (FOR THIS DPU NEEDS TO BE POWERED UP IN MODES C OR E)

REDUNDANT DPU OPERATION

ONE DPU IS DESIGNATED AS THE PRIMARY AND THE OTHER DPU , THE SECONDARY.
THE PRIMARY IS ALWAYS AN EVEN ADDRESS WHILE THE SECONDARY IS AN ODD ADDRESS THE IP ADDRESS OF THE SECONDARY DPU IS ONE NUMBER GREATER THAN THE ADDRESS OF THE PRIMARY DPU.

INFORMATION BETWEEN THE BACKUP PAIR IS EXCHANGED BY MEANS OF A 100MBPS ETHERNET INTERFACE.
A CAT5e ETHERNET CABLE IS USED TO CONNECT THE TWO DPUS TOGETHER.

PROCESS CONTROL CAN BE TRANSFERRED AUTOMATICALLY(FAILOVER) OR MANUALLY BETWEEN PRIMARY & SECONDARY. AUTOMATIC FAILOVER CAN OCCUR FROM EITHER THE PRIMARY DPU TO THE SECONDARY DPU OR VICEVERSA & THIS OCCURS BASED ON THE HEALTH OF BOTH DPUS. MANUAL TAKEOVER CAN BE ACHIEVED BY PRESSING THE TAKEOVER BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANEL OF THE MODULE.
