1 DESCRIPTION
The one-wide CAMAC 186 module provides basic digital
input and output control facilities. With the addition of
external multiplexing hardware, the 186 module can provide
up to 256 bits of digital monitoring - organized as sixteen
16 bit words. The 186 module also provides twelve pulsed
control lines. Inputs and outputs are active high and TTL
compatible.
External monitor data multiplexing is achieved by the
decoding of four mux address lines that are sourced from the
186 module. These lines increment every ten microseconds
and request the indicated monitor word to be presented at
the monitor input of the module. The presented monitor data
are latched into on-board cache memory approximately eight
microseconds after the mux address lines change state.
Monitor data are thus refreshed every 160 microseconds. A
front panel led, "UA", indicates that the monitor update
process is active.
The twelve control lines are normally low outputs and
pulse high for approximately ten microseconds when
addressed. A ten microsecond strobe pulse is always issued
when the control line register is written.
The control lines are sourced by 74128 drivers and may be
terminated in 100 ohms. The strobe and mux address lines
are sourced by 74F3037 drivers and may also be terminated in
100 ohms. The monitor line inputs are terminated with 1000
ohms to ground. Upon clear command or powering-up, the
control line register is set to zero.
This module will assert LAM if the monitor word
multiplexing process is not active. Provision has also been
made to assert LAM when any bit of the upper and/or lower
byte of Monitor Word 0 is not asserted. This feature is
activated by insertion of 74LS30 chips at IC locations #52
and/or #53.
The 186 module is a custom derivative of the CAMAC
180/181 module.
2 CAMAC 186 OP CODES
All codes return module Q and X immediately.
This module may assert LAM.

LAM: When asserted, indicates UA is false.
May also indicate that any bit of the
upper and/or lower byte of Monitor
Word 0 is not asserted.
UA: Update Active. Assertion indicates
the monitor update process is active.
C11-C0: This data indicate which control
lines were last pulsed.
F(4) A(0) Read Monitor Word n (n = 0 to 15)
--------- Auto Increment Mode
R16 - R1
-----------------------------------
M15 (MSB) - Monitor Data - (LSB) M0
Read pointer n is set to zero by the
F(1) A(0) command and incremented by 1
after each F(4) A(0) command.

The BP /AIP output reflects the state of the P1 line of
the CAMAC dataway connector. In Tevatron crates, this line
generally indicates the state of the Tevatron Abort Link.
BP (active high) signifies Beam Permit. /AIP (active low)
signifies Abort In Progress. This line is driven by a
74F3037 driver and may be terminated in 100 ohms.
4 CAMAC 186 MODULE - FRONT PANEL
The CAMAC 186 module has the following front
panel features:
N led: Red (stretched)
LAM led: Red
UA led: Green (stretched), Indicates monitor
update process is active.
5 SPARES
A supply of CAMAC 186 operational spares is maintained on
the second floor of the Linac Annex. Upon replacement be
sure to check the optional installation of 74LS30 ICs at
locations #52 and #53.
