ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 Block Diagrams
ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems contain the core mechanical, power, and safety infrastructure for an automated test station. These systems provide standardized core components to simplify design and documentation while intentionally allowing customization for specific instrumentation and applications.
Power Entry Panel
The power entry panel (PEP) provides the access point for main AC input into an ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 system. The PEP also provides a branch-rated disconnect breaker, power monitoring circuitry, power line filtering, and emergency disconnect contactors.
Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
A PDU takes an input power signal and distributes it to a number of outlets that can power components of the system. These internal power outlets from the PDU have a rated voltage and current and are available for both alternating and direct current.
Grounding
Protective earthing is provided by the appliance inlet. Grounding terminals can be used for a supplemental or functional ground strap.
Emergency Shutdown (EMO)
When a test system encounters a serious issue or an emergency is taking place in the facility, operators need the ability to quickly and cleanly power off the test system. EMO mechanisms are included on ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems to simplify connectivity and inhibit power switching.
Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
You can use the UPS to power critical components in your system during power loss, brownouts, and during normal operation as well. It acts as a battery power supply after a power outage or significant brownout.
Power States
ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems have multiple states of operation which affect the behavior of the system.
Rack Control Unit
The ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 rack control unit (RCU) is responsible for communicating with and monitoring all aspects of the system.
Temperature Sensors
ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems are equipped with TEMP-1012X temperature sensors that are spaced throughout the rack to track temperature.
Status LED
ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems possess status LEDs on the front and rear I/O panels that indicate if the rack is currently in an error state.
