Figure 1: FleX Controller Models.

The FleX Controller units use an engine board based on ATC 6.24 standard and TEES 2009 ERRATA 2;

with the MPC8360 core at 400MHz, 256MB DRAM, 16MB NOR FLASH, 256MB NAND FLASH and 2MB

SRAM.

The unit has three RS-232 asynchronous serial communication ports with software selectable speed from

1.2Kbps to 115.2Kbps, these ports (SP1, SP2 and SP4) are available over DB-9 female connectors. SP1

and SP2 ports are located on the back panel and SP4 port is located on front panel, this port is used

primarily for connecting a terminal computer or as a general purpose.

Two SDLC ports are designated to synchronous communications to cabinet’s serial bus, they are RS-485

serial communication port with software selectable speed from 19.2Kbps to 614Kbps available over a

DB-15 female connector for a NEMA Cabinet (SDLC SP3) or over a DB-25 female connector for ATC

Cabinet (C12S, SP3/SP5) both on the back panel.

The unit also has 2 high speed USB ports to download and upload databases. These ports are connected

to a USB hub which is routed to the ATC Engine. One USB port is located on the front panel and the

second port is located on the back panel of the controller.

Five 100MBPS Ethernet ports are provided for communicating with a central, connecting to peripheral

devices, and also for operating as a remote terminal to download/upload files, updates, log files, etc. Two

of them are installed in the front panel, the other two Ethernet ports are installed in the back panel and

one is located inside of the controller, in the hostboard PCB assembly.

FleX Controller –User Manual 3

Version 1.0

The interface for the user is an LCD with backlight and a 28-keys keypad to enter/retrieve all information

about the status of the controller’s or traffic application.

ACTIVE LED shows the status of the controller’s traffic application.

A rocker switch is used for turning ON and OFF the controller and AC line fuse holder for a 2A fuse with

front access.

The functionality of the several modules/sub-assemblies which conform the controller unit is described in

the below sections.

2.2 Controller Operating System

The Operating system is Linux with kernel version 2.6.39.4 or newest with the /atc directory mounted into

a NAND memory.

After boot-up the ATC Linux OS is available to run applications and for accessing to the low level drivers

(block, character and network) provided by the kernel. The OS is stored into a FLASH memory; this can

be updated by using the Linux console or Ethernet Ports. A Linux console is configured at power up to a

speed of 115.2Kbps, no parity, 8 bits and one stop bit.

2.3 Enclosure

The FleX Controller is divided in two model lines according of the mounting style (shelf and rack

mounting); both model lines have the same electronics characteristics but different physical dimensions.

The FleX Controller has a modular design composed by a front module, back module, bottom module and

a top cover; the rack version of the FleX Controller also includes two brackets in order to install the

controller onto a rack.

The top cover of the FleX controller is closed and free of any vent or openings to avoid dirt, dust, water or

other debris entering from the top of the unit. Ventilation holes are provided on the sides of the unit in

order to cool the electronics; the design is such that foreign debris and water cannot easily enter case

under normal operation and handling.

The controller is constructed so that it can be shipped easily via common carrier, such as the postal

service, UPS, or Federal Express, without damage and without disassemble or removal of internal

components or sub-assemblies.
