Antenna Rotator System - RCI Boards

The RCI Board, is a small PCB (12,5cm x 8cm) that will be conected between the Control Unit, the Rotor Unit, and a LPT port on the computer
Two boards are availables:

Main board or RCI:

• This board is the basic option that let handle the Azimuth rotator. There are several relays available

  • Left turn
  • Right turn
  • AUX, usefull for those rotors that include  a Brake or Speed control.

• 2 * 8 bits ADC. (10 & 12 bits ADC resolution optionally)
• 1 interface with the LPT Port.

Daughter Board or RCI-EL:

• This second board it's necesary for those who want to use an elevation rotator too. It's conected to the main board, and it has 2 optional relays. In this way, the combination of RCI+RCI-EL, will let you control 2 rotators: Azimuth and Elevation.

Specifications:

• Each relay has 2 circuits (5A/220V).
• Input voltage: between 12-14V
• Current: stand-by mode less than 60mA and when relays energized less than 200mA
• 2 A/D conversors (8, 10 or 12 bits )
• DB-25F conector for attaching to the parallel port on the PC.
