Communications between the OC and Gantry computers are performed by a LAN connection and
hard-wired slip-rings. Scan data from the DAS is transferred across the HSDCD (High Speed Data
Capacitive Device) ring to the DIP board in the console. The DAS data transfer rate is 850 Mbaud.
The 10base2 thin net 50 ohm LAN cable provides the communication path between the OC
computer in the console and the TGP in the stationary gantry. The hard slip rings allow the
bidirectional transfer of data between the TGP and the rotating components, including the ORP.
The control rings transfer data at 2.5 Mbaud.
The system utilizes one HSDCD ring and nine hard wired slip rings. Five rings provide AC and DC
power and ground; one provides interlock signal for the HV subsystem; and three provide the
communication path between the stationary and rotating components. Only the three
communication rings will be discussed here.
The hard slip rings communication connection acts as a sub-network between the TGP and ORP,
but also carries the specific DAS trigger and Exposure Command signals multiplexed within the
data stream. Control and status information travels in both directions across the rotating interface
along 2 high speed serial links utilizing 3 rings, one inbound and one outbound, both using an
isolated ring as signal reference. This provides for excellent noise immunity. Brushes ride on the
conductive ring material to provide signal connection to the stationary components, and screws
inserted into the back of each ring provide the connection for the rotating components. Serial link
control and signal multiplexing/de-multiplexing is provided by TGP and ORP boards. LEDs located
on these boards indicate communication status of the data paths.
Scan Data travels from the rotating side to the stationary side and ultimately to the reconstruction
subsystem through the HSDCD ring. This contact-less path begins at the HSDCD transmitter on
the rotating structure. The stationary pickup is an antenna and receiver coupled together. The
HSDCD ring and antenna form two plates of a capacitor. The transmitter input and receiver output
are fiber-optic connections. Forward error correction is used in this path to ensure extremely high
data reliability.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
1.5 Emergency Stop Loop
The CT system has an Emergency Stop Loop to all stop gantry tilt, axial rotation, and the table
elevation and cradle movement. The status of the loop is connected to the NMI (Non-maskable
Interrupt) pin of the CPU on the TGP board.
The TGP is informed of “E-STOP” status through the DRV_ENBL status register local to the MSUB
FPGA device. E-Stop is active when DRV_ENBL is “0” (active Low). Figure 3 shows the E-Stop
Interlock Loop. When an E-Stop button is pressed, while the gantry is in motion, the drive will be
commanded to decelerate to a stop. The MSUB FPGA code proves a delay of approximately 5
seconds before the enable to the drive is set to an inactive position. When this occurs, the gantry
will coast to a stop. This feature allows the gantry to come to a stop in a shorter time when E-Stop
has been pressed. This feature is also connected to the gantry contact switches and the PDU Loop
Contactor input signals.

1.6 Exposure Enable Loop
1.6.1 System Loop

The CT system uses signal EXP_ENBL to interlock the exposure enable loop by hardware devices.
The (electrical current) loop passes through the console, the PDU, the MSUB board, the TGP
board, and the ORP board; each of these components has a relay or SSR (Solid State Relay) to cut
the loop when needed. The loop is connected between TGP and ORP via slip rings.
When the signal EXP_ENBL is at -5 V level, the x-ray exposure is enabled; while an open state
indicates that the exposure is disabled.
The Exposure Enable loop is sensed at two locations on the loop. One is local on the MSUB
between the firmware commanded relay contact and the TGP watchdog circuit relay contact. The
other signal is located in the PDU and is called the Door Interlock interrupt signal to the MSUB.
These two signals are digitally OR’d together in the FPGA logic device producing a maskable
interrupt signal to the TGP Board. Each of these signal has a status register available for firmware
to read the current state of the input signal.

• Table position voltage (not used)
• Cradle position voltage (not used)
• Tilt position voltage (not used)
• MSUB miscellaneous analog voltages
• Power (24V) voltage
Trigger sequence function

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
The exposure command signal is activated when the enable bit has been activated and the selected
synchronization signal is activated. The synchronization signal is either of the following two:
MSUB_SYNC (either Axial Sync or Table Sync) or Firmware generated signal. Axial Sync is used
for all types of axial scans, and Table Sync is used for scout scans. The firmware generated sync
signal is used for statics and diagnostic scans.
The exposure command signal goes inactive when either:
The trigger counter expires (by counting either of the synchronization signals mentioned above), or;
Enable bit is made inactive, or;
The watchdog timer goes out.
2.4 Watchdog Circuits

The TGP board has two kinds of watchdog timer function:
Internal watchdog: located inside the CPU
External watchdog: located outside the CPU
The internal watchdog deters uncontrolled run of software, if it took place.
The external watchdog must be run to enable the gantry axial drive and x-ray exposure.
2.5 Control of Gantry Control Panels and Gantry Display

The Gantry user Interface consists of a Gantry display, Gantry push buttons, and the TGP board.
Each of these components incorporate a microprocessor. Figure 7 illustrates the overall design of
this control.
These components are connected by a CAN (Cover-CAN), including the following nodes, in the
following quantities:
• TGP (1)
• Control panel push buttons (4)
• Display (1)
The CAN port operates at 250K Baud Rate.

Firmware and Board Revision
Each microprocessor is able to report its firmware number, firmware revision, board number, board
revision, and board serial number. The firmware number and revision number are embedded in the
firmware code.
2.6 Interfaces
2.6.1 Communication
Ethernet
The Ethernet Controller chip controls the 10Base-T connection with the console.
CAN (Controller Area Network)
The TGP board has two CAN channels: One is Cover-CAN, used for interfacing the gantry push
buttons and displays. The other is not used.
The Cover-CAN network supports four (4) control panels: two (2) each on front and rear gantry
covers. The Cover-CAN requires the gantry display and one (1) control panel for successful
initialization. Upon power-up the TGP tests communications to the gantry display and controllers.
Faults are reported as node failures.
LSCOM (Low Speed Communication) via Slip Rings
LSCOM is the communication way between TGP and ORP via slip rings.
It uses three signals: SER_SREF (reference signal), SER_OUTBOUND (transmit signal), and
SER_INBOUND (receive signal).
The LSCOM interface needs an isolated +/- 5Vdc bipolar power supply to power the driver/receiver
circuits. In addition, optical isolation is maintained between the slip rings and the ORP logic circuits.
EXP_ENBL Signal via Slip Ring
The TGP board outputs EXP_ENBL signal to the ORP board via a slip ring for interrupting EXPCMD
signal to JEDI.
2.6.2 Voltage Monitoring

The TGP provides an A/D interface for monitoring the on-board regulated power supplies: +24V /
+12V / +5V.
2.6.3 Thermal Sensor

The TGP CPU receives signals from thermal sensors: one (LM35DM) is located on the board itself,
and the other (LM35DP) is located outside the board.
• Temperature measurement range: 5 – 65.0 degrees C
• Accuracy: +/- 1.0 degree C
The signals are converted to digital data by the CPU built-in A/D converter.

3.4 Functional Description
3.4.1 Scan Control

The MSUB is responsible for providing the TGP with two signals for Scan Control. MSUB_TRIG and
MSUB_SYNC. The MSUB_TRIG signal is used by the DAS to indicate the location of the gantry for
data acquisition timing during scanning. The axial encoder sends quadrature decoded pulses
(channel A & B) through a Phase Locked Loop filtered. This signal is then sent to the TGP before
ending up at the DAS. The MSUB_SYNC signal is used by the TGP for exposure command and
data acquisition timing during scanning. The MSUB_SYNC signal can be selected to be either a
sync signal generated from Gantry rotation, Table motion, or a firmware.
Scan Start Source Sync Signals (MSUB_Sync Signal)

The trigger circuit is responsible for generating the DAS trigger rate that the Data Acquisition
System (DAS) uses as a reference for sampling x-rays. The trigger circuit must function in 5 modes:
Offset, Axial, Helical, Scout, and Static. With the exception of offsets, these trigger modes
correspond with their respective scan types. Offset triggers are issued before and after all scans to
collect DAS/detector offset data for offset correction. Offset data is taken without x-ray exposure.
Axial and helical scans are taken as the gantry rotates. This requires that the axial and helical
trigger signal be based off of an axial encoder. Scout and static scans use a fixed 3 MHz time base
for their reference.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
Axial and helical scan modes must be capable of using a variable encoder frequency input that
varies with the prescribed scan speed (0.35, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1,2, or 4 sec/rev gantry
period). The MSUB provides the TGP three synchronization signals for exposure command start:
the gantry, the table, and firmware. The TGP will use these signals to produce the exposure
command signal to the LSCOM section of the TGP.
Table 8: Synchronization Signal

Signal Description
Gantry The gantry synchronization signal is activated when the gantry
position register matches the gantry interrupt position register. The
gantry sync signal is used for all rotating scans.
Table The table synchronization signal is activated when the Table sync
signal is received by the MSUB from the Table. The table sync
signal is used for scout scans.
Firmware This signal is activated by firmware. This signal is used for static
scans.
DAS Trigger Generation (MSUB_TRIG Signal)

DAS triggers are quadrature decoded pulses from the axial encoder which are passed through a
phase locked loop (PLL; see below) frequency scalar and then divided directly down to the desired
trigger frequency by a divide by N counter. The signal is then passed through a 64 bit digital filter
before being sent to the DAS as triggers.
Phase Locked Loop
The phase locked loop circuit is used to divide and multiply the gantry encoder pulse rate to
generate an integer output trigger rate @ 984 Hz for axial scanning. The phase locked loop is
necessary because the DAS geometry (n*984 samples per gantry revolution) is not coincident with
the encoder resolution (2048*13*4).
3.4.2 Axial Communication and Controls Interface

The MSUB provides Gantry Axial control for rotation speeds between (4.0 sec to 0.35 sec) using
quadrature encoder input signals for gantry position and velocity functionality.
The MSUB implements many of the sub-functions of the axial control system. The description of
each sub-function are detailed below. Figure 9 shows the Axial Servo Control Loop.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
Axial Encoder and Home Flag
Signals from the axial encoder and azimuth detection board measure the gantry position. The
gantry position is used to monitor axial drive positioning, velocity performance and to determine
starting x-ray and view angles.
Gantry Position is measured with an incremental encoder mounted on the gantry's motor drive
shaft. The motor and encoder turn 13 times for every one gantry revolution. The encoder has two
channels, A and B, in quadrature with a resolution of 2,048 pulses per channel per encoder
revolution. There are (2,048 X 13) = 26,624 Ch. A and Ch. B encoder pulses per gantry revolution.
Channel A and B taken in quadrature provide 106,496 pulses per gantry revolution resolution.
Encoder accuracy of 0.0135 degrees per channel pulse, or 0.00338 degrees per quadrature pulse.
The home position is the gantry position with the x-ray tube positioned at 12 o'clock. This position
is sensed using an optical home flag and home flag sensor board. The home flag is a 1 inch wide
piece of metal attached to the rotating bearing. The MSUB board supplies +5v to the home flag
board. The home flag is used on the MSUB board in conjunction with the axial encoder “C” pulse
to determine gantry home position for firmware.
Axial Drive Enable Switch
The status of the axial drive enable switch can be read back by the TGP via registers on the MSUB.
While the axial drive switch is in the disabled position, the axial drive enable output is forced inactive
and the axial holding brake output is forced to release the brake.
Axial Holding Brake Control
The axial holding brake, which is normally applied, is released by applying 120VAC to the brake
leads. The 120 VAC is controlled by a solid state relay that in turn is controlled by the MSUB. Note
that the MSUB axial brake output is forced to release the brake when the axial drive enable switch
is in the disabled position.
The axial brake is meant as a static brake to hold the gantry still once it has been positioned by the
axial drive. The brake's friction is not sufficient to hold the gantry still against the full accelerating
force of the motor and amplifier. Should the brake fail while the gantry is in motion, the gantry will
continue to rotate until halted by firmware. The brake is also not sufficient to hold the gantry while
the tube or inverters are being changed. Whenever servicing the rotating base, the gantry should
be locked out using the locking pin mechanism.
The axial brake is released when the Gantry Loop Contactor Service Switch is in the “disable”
position. This allows the gantry to be rotated by hand without fighting the friction of the brake.
Axial Power Contactor Control
The axial motor drive is powered by two sources: 480VAC, 3 phase, provided from the PDU, and
controlled by the axial power loop contactor. The second source of power is 380VDC, transformed
from 120VAC, which is provided via the drive’s DC bus by the axial Dynamic Brake assembly. The
MSUB receives a isolated 12Vdc signal from the drive that is monitored and indicates to firmware
through the FPGA, that either of the two mentioned power sources is available or both are not
present.
Axial Power Contactor Read back
The 480VAC axial power contactor status will have a maskable interrupt signal that can be read
back on the MSUB when a change of state occurs.
Axial CAN, Control Signals and Feedback Signals
The axial drive is commanded by the firmware via CAN network. There are seven signals that are
used on the CAN network: three control signals (Start, Stop and Enable) and four feedback signals
(Fault, At Speed, At Freq. and At Pos.).
An isolated power and ground bus on the MSUB is powered by a 12V supply from the axial drive.
The axial CAN and control signals to the axial drive are optically isolated from rest of the MSUB and
use the +5V isolated power for the output stages of the opto-isolators. A detection circuit with read
back via TGP processor is provided to determine if the isolated 12V power is being supplied to the
MSUB.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
An 82527 CAN controller interface IC, accessible via the TGP processor is used to provide CAN
communications to the axial drive. The interrupt signal, “AX_DR_COMM_INT*”, for the 82527 is
sent to the TGP.
To activate the control signals to the axial drive, the appropriate terminals on the axial drive need
to be shorted together. Since the signals are polarized, opto-couplers with transistor output stages
are used to short the terminals together.
Note that the axial drive enable signal is forced inactive by any one of these signals: an overspeed
condition, the watchdog circuit being inactive, a disabled axial drive enable switch, an open loop
contactor or an axial drive fault.
The feedback signals provided by the axial drive are contact closures which must be detected. The
input of a Schmidt Trigger is tied by resistor to either power or ground such that the output is
inactive. When the contact is closed the input to the Schmidt Trigger is pulled such that the output
is active.
3.4.3 Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Interface

Door Interlock Status
A +24Vdc input signal from the PDU that indicates the customer room door interlock is open. This
signal dynamically tracks the status of the interlock circuit on the TGP.
Exposure Enable Interlock Status
This signal is used to sense the Exposure Enable Loop functionality. This sense circuit is located
on the MSUB between the Exp En Loop firmware controlled solid state relay and the watchdog
timeout solid state relay on the TGP.
Phase Loss Fault
A phase under voltage / open fuse detection circuit on the PDU Control board monitors the status
of the three fuses described above. If the voltage w.r.t. ground on any one or more phases drops
below 185Vac (~70% of nominal) the PDU Control board detects and latches a PH_LOSS_UV
condition and issues a “PHASE_LOSS” fault signal to the system. If contactors Kxg and/or Kss
(described above) are closed, the control board opens them.
Buss Fault
A Buss Fault detection circuit on the PDU Control board monitors the status of the HVDC. If the
differential buss voltage does not exceed 200Vdc within the first 200mS after turn-on the PDU
Control board detects and latches a BS_FLT condition and issues a “BUSS_FLT” fault signal to the
system. If contactors Kxg and/or Kss (described above) are closed, the control board opens them.
PDU High Voltage Phase Loss Detect
This signal is sent from the PDU when there is a phase loss detected in PDU. The signal is latched
in FPGA and an interrupt is sent to the microprocessor on TGP.
XG_ENBL_CONT Signal to PDU
Steady-state +24Vdc input signal from the gantry to indicate the HVDC Bus is enabled. Used by
service to bypass firmware control and allow manual control of the HVDC Bus within the NGPDU.
External “XRAY ON” Light
This is a steady-state +24Vdc input signal from the gantry to close the “X-Ray ON” Light relay. The
x-ray interlock is passed through a relay on the MSUB. To close the relay, the watchdog circuit must
be active and the relay must be commanded to close via TGP processor.
The MSUB board provides a set of 24v/40ma contacts to control a 24v relay in the PDU. The 24v
PDU relay closes a set of 110VAC contacts that drive the hospital X-ray On Light. The 24v relay
contacts are closed (x-ray light turned on) whenever the TGP board commands x-rays to the ORP.
A register written to by firmware commands the x-ray on light’s relay. The bits of the register are
cleared in the event of a power failure, CPU fault, or watchdog / board fault condition.
External “SYSTEM ON” Light
Steady-state +24Vdc input signal from the gantry to close the “System ON” Light relay. NGPDU
provides isolated terminals for customer Room Light connections.
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
External “GENERATOR READY” Light
Steady-state +24Vdc input signal from the gantry to close the “Generator Ready” Light relay.
NGPDU provides isolated terminals for customer Room Light connections.
3.4.4 Table Communication Interface

The MSUB provides the following functions, as Table Communication Interface.
• Provides a differential signal to the Table Control Board (MTCB) for firmware direct
communication.
• Receives a differential signal from the MTCB to synchronize the table with the gantry.
• Provides interface for the Table Foot Switch loading and unloading patient functionality.
Table CAN, Control Signals
An 82527 CAN controller interface IC, accessible via the TGP processor is used to provide CAN
communications to the Table. The interrupt for the 82527 is sent to the TGP. The table drive is
commanded by the firmware via CAN network. A filtered 12V power and ground bus on the MSUB
are necessary for the Table CAN communication. The Table CAN is optically isolated from rest of
the MSUB and uses the 12V filtered power for the output stages of the opto-isolators.
Asynchronous Table Cradle Sync Signal
This signal is for communication from the MTCB to the MSUB quickly with a differential signal that
is received on the MSUB which creates a maskable interrupt to the TGP processor.
Asynchronous MSUB to Table Sync Signal
The MSUB Table Sync signal is provided to allow the MSUB to send a signal to the MTCB quickly
and asynchronously. The control of this output is available via registers on the MSUB.
Table Drive Enable Differential Signals
This is a differential signal that is sent to the MTCB from the MSUB, which is used to provide for an
electrical hard line from the Gantry Control Push Buttons, Remote Tilt Buttons, Smart View foot
switches, and Service Tilt switches. This differential signal must be met in order for motion to be
available in the table.
Motion Enable Command Differential Signals
This is a differential signal that is used to indicate to the MTCB that E-Stop has been pressed and
within 1.5 seconds, the 120VAC to the table will be turned off. This provides the MTCB enough time
to stop the cradle and prepare for the loss of power.
Table Fault Status Signal
This is a differential signal generated by the MTCB that indicates that there is a fault condition on
the MTCB. This signal is activated by firmware only.
Table Speaker Signals
The MSUB will interface with the MTCB and function as a jumper from the console to the table
assembly for the Console to Table Intercom System. These two signals are marked as speaker +
and speaker -.
Table Foot Switches (attached to MSUB)
The table foot switches are used to raise and lower the table. There are two foot switches on either
side of the table. One for raising the table and one for lowering the table. The switches have an
inverse logic dual path input. A read back and maskable change of state interrupt of each signal is
available on the TGP processor. When the up pedal is active the up signal will be high into the
processor. When the down pedal is active the down signal will be high into the processor.
3.4.5 Console Push-button Communications Interface

The MSUB provides the following functions, as this interface.
• Provides Console Push Button RS232 communication interface with TGP.
• Provides the Console Reset interface to TGP to reset the MSUB/TGP from the console.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
The MSUB board contains an asynchronous serial interface, RS422, with one UART to perform
serial communications with the TGP. When serial data has completed transmission or is received,
the UART asserts an output interrupt pin, which drives an IRQ to the TGP. A differential driver will
control a Reset Line to the MSUB and TGP board. If the Reset Line is held low, the CPU on the
TGP board is reset.
3.4.6 Gantry Sensors Interface

The TGP provides an A/D interface for monitoring incoming analog signals from the MSUB board.
The following analog signals are multiplexed on the MSUB prior to being sent to the TGP A/D
converter:
• Gantry Balance Sensor
• Thermal Sensors (additional to the two provided by the TGP)
• Brush Dust Sensor
• MSUB Board Diagnostic Signals
Gantry Balance Sensors
The MSUB can measure gantry balance using 2 separate sensing devices and indicates a
difference in voltage due to vibrations it senses. These voltages are amplified on the MSUB and
then sent to the A/D component on the TGP.
Remote Thermal Sensors
The MSUB has two remote thermal sensors connections. The input signal from the thermal sensor
is sent to the TGP where it digitizes through an analog to digital converter. The digital signal will
then be read by firmware every 800 ms.
Brush Dust Sensors
(This input is considered a spare sensor input at this time. The input signal will be amplified on the
MSUB and then sent to the A/D component on the TGP.)
3.4.7 Gantry Fan Controls

The MSUB has two controls for gantry fans, which are controlled by firmware. A Solid State Relay
controls the power to the fans, which is external to the MSUB board. The fans have three levels of
operation: Off, Low, and High. All fans operate at the same control setting (Off, Low, High). When
the system is in a reset condition, the gantry fan default mode will be FAN_HIGH only. Once
firmware is up and running, the fans can change between these three speeds.
The gantry fans are accessible by service. There is one switch that toggles the gantry fans to the
High control setting and to firmware controlled position. There is not a switch for Low and High Fan
Speed.
3.4.8 Gantry Tilt Control

Potentiometer
Tilt position feedback is provided by a 5-turn potentiometer.
Tilt & Interference Detection
Sensors are mounted on the front and rear of the gantry. When the sensors are not pressed the
impedance is 20 kOhms. When the sensor is pressed, the resistance becomes near 0 Ohms. This
signal is decoded on the board, first to indicate that the maximum impedance of the sensor is 40
kOhms (fault condition). Second that the sensor is not a short circuit (interference condition). This
is done for both the front and rear sensors. If there is interference or a fault condition both tilt and
table elevation will be disabled.
The MSUB board intercepts the signals that currently go to the tilt elevation amp from the MSUB
board. The signals required for generating tilt (forward and backward) are decoded and sent to the
tilt relay board. Also the signal enabling elevation is also intercepted and another enable is created

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
so that the MSUB board can disable elevation if the interference sensor is in fault or interference is
detected.
Remote Tilt
The remote tilt switch is located at the console SCIM keyboard. The function is Prescribed Remote
Tilt, which means that these switches will only tilt the gantry to the prescribed RX position. This
feature enhances the productivity of the technologist as they can more easily position the gantry
between groups or series prescriptions. For patient safety, the Gantry Mounted Interference Touch
Panels will disable gantry motion if any contact is sensed on the surface of these panels.
The Prescribed Tilt board (2269601) detects the status of the push button, either pressed or
released, on the SCIM keyboard by the use of two independent paths. The MSUB receives one
differential hardwire signal line and one serial differential RS232 line to initiate remote tilt. When
both signal lines are active, a signal is sent to the TGP microprocessor. The MSUB sends the
remote tilt indication to the TGP board via a register in the MSUB FPGA. The microprocessor must
check for a stuck button condition. There is also a line that indicates fault status of the prescribed
tilt input to the board.
Gantry Contact Detection
Tape switches have been added to the tilting base of the gantry to detect if cables on the rotating
base are contacting the tilting base. The tape switches provide an interrupt to the TGP when the
switches are actuated.
3.4.9 Gantry Options Interface

The MSUB board is designed to provide isolated signal and ground signals for the Cardiac (ECG)
and Pulmonary (Spiro meter) units while providing signal communication with the MSUB Board.
Cardiac I/O
Two signals are provided for use with defined cardiac features: Exposure Command and R-Pulse.
R-Pulse is a signal received from the Gantry Options board, indicating when the heart is in a
particular part of the cardiac cycle. The status of the R-Pulse signal and a maskable positive edge
sensitive interrupt can be read back by the TGP via registers on the MSUB.
Pulmonary (Respiratory)
Two signals are provided for use with defined pulmonary features: Resp_mon and Resp-Pulse.
Resp-Pulse is a signal that is received from the Gantry Option board, indicating when the lungs are
in a particular part of the volumetric capacity. Resp-mon is a signal that is sent back to the monitor
to indicate when exposure is on. These signals are optically isolated from the pulmonary monitor
by the circuitry on the Gantry Options Board. Firmware can read the status of the latched Resp-
Pulse interrupt input signal. Firmware has the ability to mask and clear the interrupt condition that
can be read back by the TGP via registers on the MSUB.

if it took place.
5.5 Interfaces
5.5.1 Communication
Ethernet
Although the ORP has an Ethernet Controller chip, this is used for development only.
CAN (Controller Area Network)
The ORP board has two CAN channels: CAN1 and CAN2. CAN1 is used for connection of the DCB
and CCB, while CAN2 is used for connection of the Jedi generator.
LSCOM (Low Speed Communication) via Slip Rings
LSCOM is the communication way between ORP and TGP via slip rings.
It uses three signals: SER_SREF (reference signal), SER_OUTBOUND (transmit signal), and
SER_INBOUND (receive signal).
The LSCOM interface needs an isolated +/- 5Vdc bipolar power supply to power the driver/receiver
circuits. In addition, optical isolation is maintained between the slip rings and the ORP logic circuits.
EXP_ENBL Signal via Slip Ring
The ORP board receives EXP_ENBL signal from the TGP board via a slip ring for interrupting
EXPCMD signal to JEDI.
5.5.2 Alignment Lights

The ORP board provides +5Vdc power to the alignment lights. As shown in Figure 11, the OPR
provides four control lines which are independent of among others, allowing, for example,
extinguishing three lights and switching on only one light.

6 Axial Control
6.1 Axial Motion & Control
The MSUB implements many of the sub-functions of the axial control system. The hardware
involved in the axial servo drive consists of the MSUB, the Axial Motor Drive, the Axial Motor, Axial
Motor Dynamic Brake Assembly, Axial Encoder, Axial Drive Belt and Axial Home Flag. See
Figure 12.

The Axial Drive Power Contactor in the PDU controls the 3 phase, 440 VAC input of the Axial Motor
Drive Module. There are interlocks in the power contactor control for an Axial Enable/Disable switch
located on the Service Switch board.
The Axial Motor Drive module is supplied with enable, speed, brake and direction information from
the MSUB board. The Axial Motor Drive monitors the axial speed and direction internally, as well
as receiving axial encoder feedback from the MSUBI board for fine speed control. The combination
of internal and external control allows the drive module to modulate the frequency of the AC output,
allowing the gantry to rotate at a maximum speed of 0.35 seconds per revolution in the clockwise
direction. Note, the drive module will not drive in a counter-clockwise direction under normal control.
The Axial Motor is an AC induction type. The axial brake engages the motor shaft and is meant as
a static brake to hold the gantry still once it has been positioned by the axial drive.
The motor is coupled to the rotating bearing with a belt, with a gear ratio of 13 motor rotations to 1
gantry bearing rotation. An optical “slip-flag” detector senses a metal flag that rotates through it
once every bearing revolution. The slip-flag information is used for axial coincidence as a position
reference and over-speed sensing.
The encoder is directly coupled to the rotating bearing next to the Axial Drive Belt. It is interfaced
with a direct contact gear as weighted assembly with a 13 to 1 gear ratio, the same as the axial
motor to rotating bearing. This arrangement allows for simplified transfer functions for speed control
and more accurate positioning of DAS trigger generation versus motor mounted encoder packag-
ing. The axial encoder is an incremental encoder and provides 2048 counts per encoder rotation.
36 of 52 6 - Axial Control Procedure revised: 07/10/03

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
The information from the encoder is decoded on the MSUB board and used for gantry position and
speed control as well as DAS trigger generation. The MSUB firmware verifies the encoder counts
to be 106496 ± 3 counts per gantry revolution referenced to home coincidence.
The axial dynamic brake assembly is used to dissipate energy originating from the induction motor.
Axial braking is accomplished by reducing the frequency applied to the motor leads to a level lower
than the current operating point of the motor windings. This is termed negative slip. Negative slip
generates electrical field resistance or negative torque within the windings. At the same time the
motor windings generate voltage raising the motor lead voltage. This excess voltage is dissipated
by the dynamic braking module via load resistors and chopper circuit control via the AXDC bus. This
means that 440 VAC is always applied to the Axial Motor Drive module to both accelerate and
decelerate the gantry. Loss of this voltage will result in the gantry coasting to stop—this can take
more than a minute.
Scan start/stop and Autovoice control are implemented using switches on the console keyboard
assembly. A hard-key processor on the keyboard assembly is hard-wired to the MSUB board via a
UART serial link. The hard-key processor monitors the status of the “Start Scan” and “Stop Scan”
switches on the keyboard assembly. Upon closure of the Start Scan switch contacts, the hard-key
processor sends a “start scan” message to the TGP via the MSUB board, indicating that the scan
should start. This communications link is also used to signal the start of Autovoice messages.
6.2 Axial Motor Drive (AMD Assembly)

The AMD Assembly consists of an Interface Board, AC Drive, Dynamic Brake Assembly, harnesses
and 2 power sources. Figure 13 shows a block diagram of the AMD assembly.

6.3 General Axial Drive Function

The Axial Motor Drive (AMD) provides three phase power to the Axial AC motor. In addition to the
MSUB board, the axial motor requires an external Axial Dynamic Brake Module. The AMD is a 2
part integrated device, Axial Interface board (AIF) and AC Drive. The axial firmware controls the
acceleration, run, and deceleration cycles of the axial motor. The axial control firmware resides in
the TGP CPU and sends drive instructions to the MSUB board.
The MSUB communicates with the AC Drive through the AIF, located on the AMD assembly. The
AMD interprets the instructions and configures itself to execute the commands. The AMD has its
own self contained firmware. The drive converts 3 phase 440 VAC input power to three phase Axial

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
HEM (High Efficiency Motor Drive) power. This motor drive power is applied directly to the axial
motor for acceleration, run and braking functions.
Refer to Figure 13. Control signals travel from the MSUB Board to the AMD through the Axial
Interface harness. The AIF routes the signals to the AC Drive.
6.4 Axial Controller Interface Bus (ACIB)

The ACIB is the umbilical cord that links the Axial Motor Drive to the MSUB board. This link consists
of the signals listed below. Each signal is a differential pair for noise immunity.
• Isolated 12VDC is generated by the AMD that powers the Controller Area Network (CAN)
drivers.
• Axial Enable is available to the AMD to determine when gantry rotation begins and ends.
• CAN Serial Line is used for the transmission of control signals. It must be terminated by a
120 ohm resistor at the beginning and end of the cable. This particular CAN line is referenced
as the AX_CAN bus.
• Fault Line is the primary means to inform the MSUB board of a fault. The fault line is asserted
by the AMD under the following conditions:
- The controller is reset
- A Fault is detected by the controller
Reset is asserted by the MSUB when it becomes desirable to reset the AMD. The MSUB resets the
AMD via a command register or during a MSUB reset.
6.4.1 Axial CAN (AX_CAN)

The MSUB uses the 82527 CAN protocol controller and CAN bus interface circuitry to communicate
with the AMD Assembly. This is a bidirectional serial link. The 82527 interrupts the Altera controller
(FPGA) with the AX_DRIVE_COMM* signal to indicate a status change of the 82527. The 82527
communicates with the Altera (FPGA) directly via AXADDR and DATA buses on the MSUB. The
82527 uses the 16MHz clock for timing. The board AXRESET* signal resets the 82527.
U26 and U24 optically isolate the AX_CAN bus from the MSUB board circuitry. U28, the CAN
transceiver chip, resides on the isolated side of the CAN interface. The optically isolated side of the
AX_CAN receives power from an isolated 12 volt, 125 mA supply located on the AMD. VR1
regulates this 12 volt supply down to 5 volts (+5V_AXCAN). This isolated 5 volt supply provides
power to the isolated side of the AX_CAN interface. The AX_CAN output signals are AX_CAN_H
and AX_CAN_L. R339 provides the required CAN bus termination for the MSUB Board end of the
AX_CAN bus.
DS12 illuminates whenever U26 receives data over the AX_CAN bus.
6.4.2 MSUB to AMD Interface Overview

The communications between the MSUB and AMD consist of:
• Bidirectional CAN serial communications bus: a 125 Kbaud bidirectional serial link, used to
convey commands and status information.
• AX_Fault signal from the AMD to MSUB.
• AX_AT-SPD* signal from the AMD to the MSUB.
• AX_AT_FREQ* signal from the AMD to the MSUB.
• AX_AT_POS* signal from the AMD to the MSUB.
• AX_EN_P, AX_EN_N signal from the MSUB to the AMD
• AX_ENC_CHA/CHB signals from the MSUB to the AMD
• Three-wire start-stop signal

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
The opto-isolated Enable, Start, and Stop signals from the MSUB to the AMD provide a contact
closure as an input to the AMD. The Enable contacts close electrically to enable the AMD, the Start
contacts close electrically to start the AMD, and the Stop contacts close electrically to enable the
AMD to run and open electrically to stop the AMD. The Enable, Start, and Stop opto-isolators carry
10mA with less than a 3V drop when closed, and withstand 5V when the contacts open.
The fault signal from the AMD to the MSUB consists of the AX_FLT and AX_FLT_RTN signal wires.
The circuit uses drives with a normally-open fault contact. If either the fault signal wires open
electrically, the MSUB generates a fault condition. If the AX_SPD_FRQ_RTN signal wire opens
during operation, the system can report either AX_AT_SPD or AX_AT_FREQ errors.
The AX_AT_SPD*, AX_AT_FREQ* AND AX_AT_POS* are active low or NO FAULT conditions
during normal axial operations. These signals should be high with the gantry rotation idle. The
AX_FLT is a normally low signal. If this signal goes high, then the AX_FAULT_CONTACTS in the
AMD have opened and you have a fault.
If the motor is at or above Frequency for the phase it is currently in, then AT SPEED will be satisfied
and closes. AT SPEED will then open when the phase changes transition, and waits for the motor
to be at or above Frequency again for this next phase, then will close if the motor reaches
Frequency. This will continue throughout the entire rotation cycle, Accel, Run, and Brake. It is key
to know that the AMD module will try to drive the motor to the correct speed, and if it cannot attain
the speed requested, the current will max out at a specific level and not drive any higher, the result
will be that the motor could not make it to the correct frequency in the allotted time for that phase,
and the AT SPEED fault will be seen.
6.4.3 AMD Stop and Start

The discrete start and stop signals to the AMD are opto-coupled logic signals. The STOP_AXIAL
signal must equal a logic high for the AMD to start acceleration, continue acceleration or run. The
logic high STOP_AXIAL signal creates a low impedance between the STOP_AXIAL and
STRT_STP_COM output signals, which permits the AMD to accelerate or run.
When the START_AXIAL signal goes to a logic high (causing a low impedance between the
START_AXIAL and STRT_STP_COM outputs) and the STOP_AXIAL signal equals a logic high,
the AMD begins to accelerate (if it hasn’t already done so). Once acceleration begins, the AMD
continues to advance along its acceleration profile, or continues to run, regardless of the logic
condition of the START_AXIAL signal. The AMD begins to decelerate (if it is running) whenever the
STOP_AXIAL signal goes to a logic low.
6.4.4 AXDC Bus Voltage Monitoring

This function is performed within the AMD module. Errors are reported to the MSUB Board.
6.4.5 CAN Error Detection

CAN implements five error detection mechanisms: three at the message level and two at the bit level.
NOTE: CAN will retry up to 128 times before logging an error.
The following mechanisms are at the message level:
• Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC) - Every transmitted message contains a 15 bit Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC) code. The CRC is computed by the transmitter and is based on the
message content. All receivers that accept the message perform a similar calculation and flag
any errors.
• Frame Checks - There are certain predefined bit values that must be transmitted at certain
points within any CAN Message Frame. If a receiver detects an invalid bit in one of these
positions, a Form Error (sometimes also known as For at Error) will be flagged.
• Acknowledgement Error Checks - If a transmitter determines that a message has not been
acknowledged, then an ACK Error is flagged.
• The following mechanisms are at the bit level:

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
• Bit Monitoring - Any transmitter automatically monitors and compares the actual bit level on
the bus with the level that it transmitted. If the two are not the same, then a bit error is flagged.
• Bit Stuffing - CAN uses a technique known as bit stuffing as a check on communication
integrity. After five consecutive identical bit levels have been transmitted, the transmitter will
automatically inject (stuff) a bit of the opposite polarity into the bit stream. Receivers of the
message will automatically delete (de-stuff) such bits before processing the message in any
way. Because of the bit stuffing rule, if any receiving node detects six consecutive bits of the
same level, a stuff error is flagged.
6.5 Axial Motor Drive
6.5.1 Axial Motor Drive (AMD)

The Axial Motor Drive is a customized version of a commercially available Allen-Bradley Model
1336 Plus II variable frequency AC motor drive. It contains its own microprocessor, power supplies
and a three-phase full bridge inverter. The AMD communicates with the MSUB board through a
CAN (Controller Area Network) serial bus.

6.7 Axial Dynamic Brake Assembly
This assembly provides logic and control power for the AMD when the Axial Power Contactor is
open. During gantry deceleration, excess AMD AXDC bus power is dissipated through chopper
load resistors.

6.7.1 Chopper Control

The Dynamic Brake board Chopper circuit helps dissipate excess energy in the Axial Motor Drive’s
internal AXDC bus. The Chopper circuit is always active in this application. As the motor
decelerates, it acts as a generator, which converts some of the kinetic energy to current. The Axial
Motor Drive channels this current into the AXDC bus, which causes the voltage on the bus to rise.
If the bus voltage exceeds 810V, the drive will disable itself and abort the braking process. When
the braking process aborts, the gantry coasts to a stop. The chopper circuit limits the bus voltage
to approximately 750V to prevent the gantry from coasting.
The Axial Motor Drive’s AXDC voltage powers the circuit at J1 of the Dynamic Brake board. Two
7500 ohm 40W chassis mounted dropping resistors, connected at J1 & J2, limit the power supply
current to <50 mA. CR4 regulates the nominal 15V to power the Chopper Control circuit. LED DS1
illuminates to indicate the presence of circuit power.
6.7.2 Filter Board

The filter board adds differential mode and common mode capacitance to the Axial Motor Drive
internal AXDC bus, to reduce the electrical noise created by the switching IGBTs. This board is
required for EMI/EMC compatibility.
6.7.3 Chopper Resistor Assembly

The chopper resistor assembly provides a high power dissipation load to the AMD bus, if required
during axial braking. The chopper resistor configuration resembles the shunt regulator. The
Dynamic Brake board contains the actual chopper switching element (an IGBT).
When the axial induction motor brakes, it can momentarily generate a current. When this happens,
the AMD converts some of the rotational energy to electrical energy and returns it to the internal
AXDC bus causing a rise in the bus voltage. If the AXDC bus voltage exceeds ~750V, the chopper
IGBT turns on and discharges the excess energy through resistors A4R1, A4R2, A4R3, & A4R4.

GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
The IGBT turns off when the voltage drops below ~700V. This process continues as long as
necessary to keep the bus voltage below ~750V. Normally this action occurs for less than 5 seconds
during the brake cycle. At all other times the IGBT remains off and essentially “disconnects” the
resistors from the bus. The intermittent duty cycles permits the use of resistors with a much lower
power rating than a continuous duty cycle would require.
Because the circuit uses the intermittent duty rated resistors A4R1, A4R2, A4R3, & A4R4, it
contains fuse A4F1 to isolate the resistors from the bus in the event of a control failure. If a fault
occurs, A4SCR1 fires and crowbars the bus. The anode of A4SCR1 connects to taps on resistor
A4R1 & A4R2, nominally set to 8 ohms each from the fused end. When the SCR fires, the high
current load it creates causes fuse A4F1 to open and disconnect the resistor assembly from the
bus, to isolate the fault.
6.7.4 Step-Up Transformer

500VA isolation transformer, T1, is configured as a nominal 115:380 V step-up transformer. T1
provides the 24 hour power to the AMD that is needed to maintain communication with the MSUB.
Diodes inside the AMD rectify the ~380VAC to create a nominal 500 VDC bus (no load, with 120
VAC input). DC to DC converters inside the drive develop power for its internal logic from this bus.
T1 should normally never provide power for axial braking.
6.7.5 Bridge Rectifier

Bridge Rectifier CR1 connects in series between the T1 step-up transformer and the AMD AXDC
bus as the logic and control power source for the drive. The drive internal bus voltage always equals
the greater of either the braking voltage or the T1 voltage.
6.7.6 Dropping Resistors

Chassis mounted dropping resistors R4 & R5 limit the chopper circuit power supply current derived
from the AMD AXDC bus to <50 mA. The Chopper Control supply is referenced to the AXDC bus
return, NOT to ground. NEVER reference this voltage to ground.

7.1.1 HSDCD Modulation

DAS data received by the transmitter is converted into HSDCD (High Speed Data Capacitive
Device) differential signalling. The transmitter converts its input to differential signals on the ring
itself. The antenna is capacitively coupled to the ring and passes the differential signal to the

7.1.2 Data Rate

Serial Taxi DAS Data is transmitted at a rate of850 MBaud. Each bit cell is 1.2 nanoseconds wide.
Each word consists of 16 bits within 20 bit encoding, so each word cell is 24 nanoseconds wide.
7.1.3 HSDCD Transmitter

The function of the transmitter is to take DAS data from its fiber-optic input port and send this signal
out on transmitting antenna structure.
7.1.4 HSDCD Ring

The HSDCD section of the slip ring is actually made up of a circuit board material that has two traces
that run its entire circumference to carry the differential signal. This is called the emitter. It also has
a ground plane underneath. The dimensions of the board are controlled to maintain a low trace
impedance. This cross sectional shows its construction.
Figure 20: HSDCD Ring
Silvered Copper Trace
Circuit Board Material
At the end of each strip, opposite the end fed by the transmitter, each trace is terminated with a 16
ohm surface mount resistor to the ground plane. Each board strip feeds one half of the ring with the
HSDCD signal.

7.1.5 HSDCD Antenna

The purpose of the HSDCD antenna is to pick up the differential signal from the traces on the ring.
The pickup face of the antenna, which is positioned 1.41 mm (0.60 inches) height (use alignment
tool 2245483) away from the ring traces, has two traces the same width and spacing as the traces
on the ring, and each one acts like one plate of a capacitor. Hence, the signals are capacitive
coupled from the ring to the antenna.
7.1.6 HSDCD Receiver

The purpose of the HSDCD receiver is to amplify the transmitted data signal from the HSDCD
antenna to a usable level and convert it back into fiber-optic DAS taxi data.
7.1.7 Communication Error Rates

Errors are caused by any noise that enters the HSDCD system within its pass band.
Communication error rates are measured by how many errors occur in N number of bits. This is
called the Bit Error Rate (BERR). The HSDCD system has been designed to produce 0 or 1 bad
bits in 10E12 bits. Note that this is exclusive of forward error correction that enhances BERR to 0
or 1 errors in 10E14 bits. Under normal system operation, this would translate into one scan abort
in five years due to DAS data channel errors. The system BERR performance can be monitored
through the Dip Stats selection under the service menu. This tells you:
• When the Dip Stats file was created or reset to zero
• When the stats were last updated (end of last exam)
• How many data bytes were transmitted since file creation (or reset)
• How many offset bytes were transmitted since file creation (or reset)
• How many taxi violations occurred since file creation (or reset)
• How many successful forward error corrections (FEC) occurred since file creation (or reset)
• How many scan aborts (unsuccessful FEC) occurred since file creation (or reset)
BERR can be calculated by the following:
E Number of Errors = Number of Scan Aborts
NO Number of offset bits = Number of offset bytes X 10
ND Number of Data bits = Number of data bytes X10
BERR = E / (NO + ND)

7.2.4 Brush Tip Wear Indicators

Each individual brush has an arrow stamped into one side of the tip material. Brushes should be
replaced when worn to the tip of the arrow.
8 Gantry Tilt
Gantry tilt is achieved by means of a hydraulic pump and 2 hydraulic cylinders. Control signals are
received from the MSUB board. The Tilt Relay board can operate in 2 modes: system control or
manual. Under system control, the tilt relay board receives tilt enable, forward and backward control
signals. These signals energize either the pump motor or tilt solenoids. Under manual control,
power is received from the MSUB power circuit, and motion is controlled manually by switch S10.
Switch S9 determines system or manual control. S9 and S10 are located on the Service Switch
board.
Gantry forward tilt requires the energizing of the pump motor. The pump increases the fluid
pressure in the system, resulting in the extension of the cylinder pistons, and the gantry tilts forward.
Gantry backward tilt requires the energizing of the two (2) tilt backward solenoids. This relieves fluid
pressure, and the weight of the gantry compresses the cylinder pistons. This is true for all gantry
angles. Reference Figure 22.
Speed control for both forward and backward motion is set by adjusting separate restrictor valves
for 1 second per degree of motion.
The hydraulic system has a pressure relief bypass valve, which is factory set to 50 kgf/cm squared.
This hydraulic system is also self bleeding.
Tilt limits are set at ± 30 degrees. Angle position is monitored via feedback of the tilt potentiometer.
The feedback is sent to the MSUB, where it is digitized for gantry tilt display and prescribed remote
tilt position control.
