The Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) of the D20MX Processor is 4A994. Product overview The D20 is a standalone remote terminal unit (RTU). It consists of a D20MX processor board, power supply, optional termination panels, and optional communications equipment in a 3U tall, 19-inch wide chassis. These components, combined with software applications running on the D20MX, form the D20 RTU System.
CHAPTER 1: BEFORE YOU START The D20MX can be retrofitted into either a D20 3U single-node VME chassis or D20 3U non- VME chassis. In a single-node VME chassis, this one processor module replaces the previous D20 M, M++, ME, and MEII CPU cards.
For a detailed description of the D20 chassis options and components, refer to Familiarization chapter in the D20/D200 Installation and Operation Guide, 994-0078. The D20MX supports the two versions of the D20 chassis listed in Table 4. Table 4: Types of D20 chassis...

The D20 VME-compatible chassis (see Figure 3) can support one D20MX main board. When using the D20MX in a VME chassis, the 0 V ground wire must be used. Figure 3: D20 VME chassis - power supply switch and fuses...
Power supply The chassis-mounted power supply modules are switch-mode converters that provide output power for the D20MX processor board, VME cards, modems and D20 Peripheral I/O modules, as required. A redundant power supply can be installed to provide fail-over protection to ensure continuous power to the D20.
D20. This modem is available for mounting only as a 3U vertical mount. Third-party modems can be used to meet specific requirements. These modems are connected to the D20 via standard RS-232 connections. Contact GE Digital Energy for more information on options. D20MX HARDWARE USER’S MANUAL...
Peripherals Peripheral I/O modules are intelligent modules containing an on-board microprocessor. They are configured as slaves to the D20MX processor board. In this way, specific I/O processing is distributed throughout the RTU to the appropriate I/O module. There are five types of I/O peripherals: •...

(TXD, RXD, RTS#, CTS#, DCD#) DTE serial ports, compliant to ANSI/TIA-232 and TIA/EIA-694 specifications and are hosted by UARTs. The D20MX is tested with all 7 serial ports running at 19200 baud with 20% CPU utilization. Refer to application configuration guides for supported baud rates and for data bits.
Plug network cables into the D20MX twisted-pair Ethernet ports. to network devices If the D20MX is deployed in the presence of strong RF energy in the 110 MHz - 125 MHz band, such as airport ILS localizers or aviation radio transmitters, it is recommended that shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables be used.
Fiber optic Ethernet (for 526-3003 and 526-3005LF only) The 100BASE-FX variant of the D20MX (GE part numbers 526-3003 and 526-3005) can connect to one or two networks through two fiber-optic Ethernet connections. The data rate on each port is 100 Mbps.
When the primary port (that is, port 1) receives no signal, or detects a fault signal from the remote link partner, the D20MX switches to the secondary port (that is, port 2) if it has a valid link. The D20MX reverts to the primary port if the primary link is restored or no signal is present on the secondary port.

CCU A is Active. Both the PWR A and PWR B LEDs should be illuminated. To simulate hardware failure, switch off the Active D20MX at the main power switch on the front of the unit. Result: If the RS-232 is functioning correctly, then it will switch over to the Standby unit and the CCU B LED will illuminate and the CCU A LED will go off.
To verify either hardware or software switch-over. Connect a NULL modem cable (GE Energy part number 977-0529) to the RS-232 connector on the front panel of the D20MX designated as CCU B, which was originally the Standby unit.
