 What is the same?

1. Sensors
2. Frame
3. Motor Controller (Uses ACS 101 or VLT)
4. Frame Control Panels
5. Traversing Cables and Carrier
6. Remote J-Box is supported
7. Utilities (Power, Air, Water)

Lesson 1 - Introduction to Network 3

Platform
 Sensors
• All sensors except TLK/TLP/Basis Weight, Old Ash, and Smoothness are
supported. ( TLS1 will be supported in Release 1.3 due Mar/Apr ’09)
• Pigtails and carriage board (interconnect boards NP700) are the same.

Lesson 1 - Introduction to Network 4

Platform
 Frame
• Unchanged mechanically.
• Installation procedure is the same
• Head Package is unchanged
• Wiring to switches, encoder, digital inputs, and motor
controller is the same.

Lesson 1 - Introduction to Network 5

Platform
 Frame Control Panel
• Frame control panel operates the same Except:
– Manual limit led flashes if illegal limit is entered.
– Maintenance and standardize lights flash after restart
before encoder sync.
– Additional function for frame tuning.

Lesson 1 - Introduction to Network 6

Platform
 Traversing Cables and Carrier
• The same cables are used for the NP1200 and SP1200 with -
004 backplane.
• The same cables are also used for the NP700 and SP700
with -004 backplane.
• The same cable carrier as Smart Platform is used.
• Carriage Board (interconnect boards) are the same as Smart
Platform.

 New Processing Hardware
• Network Platform uses one Single Board Computer with Embedded XP. Operating
system is stored on Flash but locked to SBC.

• Communication to the CPU is by TCP/IP over Ethernet either to port on SBC or

through a Fiber Optical/Electrical Ethernet Board (Board not shown).
