On 1 NCC4 it’s possible to connect up to 16 receiver (NR4) or transmitters (NT4) units. • Generating the HF sync signal for the whole system. This HF signal has a frequency of four times 8.2 MHz and sweeps between 30.... 36 MHz. One NCC4 has four outputs and on each output you can connect a NR4, NT4 or an other NCC4. • The NCC4 is data-com master for all connected units. All data-communication between the connected units and the NCC4 will be initiated from the NCC4. With the external sync input from the NCC4 it’s possible to integrate the NCC4 in a larger network with multiple NCC4's. • Each NCC4 has a RS 232 communication connector from which it’s possible to connect to the outside world, for example to a modem or to a PC. With this connection several things can be done, such as remote-diagnostics and firmware-upgrades. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the OS/T NCC4. Fig.1 OS/T Network Communication & Control unit
5 © Nedap Retail Support 2004 – Groenlo Holland     NCC4 2.10 10.5.2004 GO DC power supply The 33 Volt DC Power voltage from the OS/T system is generated in a Switched-mode power unit, which is connected with a short cable on connector K5. The power supply has a continuous DC output current rating of 3.2 A. HF The HF signal is generated in a VCO. This VCO uses for its frequency control the 3 signals from the local DSP: TD, in advance of the start pulse and T1 and T2 on 345 and 1334 s after the start pulse. The signals T1 and T2 mark the time that the frequency of the NT4 passes the 7.7 and 8.7 MHz. A saw-tooth generator generates the waveform, necessary to sweep the VCO. The saw-tooth generator exists of a capacitor, charged with a constant current and is discharged at every pulse. Regulation of the VCO happens only in the fly-back period to get the highest possible signal purity. By using a buffer stage the HF-signal gets the requested level and will be merged with the data-com signal. Then this signal is distributed to four output connectors K1 till K4. Data-com One of the important features from the OS/T system is the data-com over the coax-cable. With this feature it’s no longer necessary to use an extra data-cable between the units, which simplify the installation of the system. The NCC4 plays a central roll in providing the data-com. All the connected units are interrogated periodically by the NCC4. If there are messages like an alarm on a connected NR4, then the NCC4 will be process this and takes the necessary action: Sending a command, to turn on the lamps on the activated aisle. At the beginning of each sweep, on a fixed timeslot, the NCC4 sends a data-block. This data-block may contain a question for a connected NR4 or NT4. The answer will be transmitted in another time-slot. The transmission of data is accomplished by adding small pulses on the HF signal. With a low pass filter and a sensitive amplifier these pulses can be recovered on the receiving side.. If multiple NCC4's are necessary to be fitted in a larger installation, then they have to be linked. Every NCC4 is then a master for his own segment. The “upper neighbour” of a NCC4 is connected to a slave sync input, while the “under neighbour” in the circuit will be connected on an output. The slave sync input is doubled to link the incoming cable to the next segment of the “upper neighbour”. When the NCC4 is the last one in a chain a terminator jumper must be placed. A slave NCC4 may be switched off without disturbing the data communication. RS 232 interface Each NCC4 is equipped with a RS232 connector. With this it’s possible to connect a modem or a PC to communicate with the OS/T system. With these capabilities you can use remote-diagnostics, firmware-upgrade and system configuration. The communication uses the standard UART circuit. I/O connector The NCC4 comes with an I/O connector with four opto-coupler inputs, four opto-coupler outputs and four relay outputs with one voltage free make-and-break contact. All in- and outputs are galvanic separated from the power supply. The in- and outputs may be used for camera activation, metal detection alarm, extra alarm-lamps. The functionality of the in- and outputs is determined by the software. Hand-terminal connector A standard NEDAP RS Handheld terminal may be connected to the NCC4. With these HT you can edit the various local settings. Description of the NCC4:

Chapter 2 MD Receiver: Art no. 7818360 Description The 66 kHz signal enters the receiver through a band-pass filter. A low noise opamp amplifies the signal after which it’s available as two opposite signals. These signals are passed through an electronic switch (4066). Through the data cable another 66 kHz sinus shaped signal enters which is primarily shaped into two block signals. 7 Manual Metal Detection MK2 © NEDAP Retail Support 2002 66Kc NE5532 4066 TL082 TL082TL072RX in66KcmetalnoiseI/O66Kc 74CD40106 The two opposite shaped signals each are feed to an electric switch, which is controlled by the two block signals. The output of these switch looks like a double phase rectified signal This signal then enters two separate filter blocks; one produce a “metal” signal and the other a noise signal. These two signals are compared in the last opamp stage producing an alarm, which is available on the data cable. The block diagram of the MD receiver: Antennas other than EQ45/EQ30 The other antennas in which the MD is used must be connected to the a-synchronous/symmetrical antenna input. The antenna selector jumper must be set in the right position. See also the component arrangement
