2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Multinode Module is designed to mount either horizontally in a standard NEMA rack
or vertically in a cabinet (or tower) designed to stand vertically on the floor. Cooling is
provided by four fans in one side of the module enclosure. An integral power supply is
located at the bottom (or side) of the module.
Each Multinode Module supports up to four functional nodes in the TDC 3000 System.
Each node occupies a specific address on the Local Control Network (LCN). Figure 2-1
illustrates a typical Micro TDC 3000 System using two Multinode Modules in vertical
cabinets.
