Technical information

The Multi-Purpose Interface Module [MPIM] is
mounted on the rear of the front cover assembly
and is used to provide interface facilities between
the main processor card [MP] and a number of
different peripherals. An MPIM must have its
'Personality' [configuration] set by means of plug-
in headers to suit the particular application and
set the device address. The board can perform a
number of functions, each 'Personality' being a
different combination of these functions.
All MPIMs come fitted with Version 3.2 firmware
and a separate product code is available for
upgrades - refer to TIB 0360 if necessary.
All MPIMs come fitted with a PROM (557.180.052)
which enables an MPIM to be used with a serial
printer. If retrofitting a MPIM without this PROM,
for use with a remote printer, this chip is required.

Input/Output Expansion Cards (XIOM)
The XIOMis a 16 universal input/output
expansion board. Up to 5 x XIOM cards can be
driven from each MPIM subject to its personality
settings.
The I/O on the XIOM can be set in banks of 8 to
operate as follows:
• LED driver outputs (10mA source)
• Relay Driver Outputs (100mA sink)
• Voltage Monitor Input (8 - 30Vd.c. Normal)
• Volt Free Contact inputs

MINERVA Repeaters
The MINERVA fully functional repeaters are
available for all models of the MINERVA series
controllers. The repeaters are LPCB approved
and offer the same control and monitoring
facilities as the main panel. Each repeater
includes one MPIM Module and up to seven
repeaters can be attached to the remote bus of
the main panel.
The technical specification for the repeater is the
same as the main panel shown on the previous
page, product codes are also shown there.
The 80-Way Mimic allows custom-made display
and presentation panels to be incorporated in
the MINERVA addressable system. It is supplied
as a single PCB, which may be mounted in an
expansion box or on the rear of a free-standing
panel, as required. It may be used to drive up to
80 zonal LED indicators, arranged in any
configuration, together with two FIRE LEDs, one
FAULT LED and one ISOLATE LED. These
indicators operate in the same manner as the
corresponding indicators on the panel.
A remote Mimic can be connected to the MPIM’s
configured as remote Mimic drivers via the
remote bus. Up to 16 MPIMs may be connected
on to the remote bus, each with a unique address
[set on-board]. The difference between a
Repeater and a Mimic is the local control facility
which is not featured in a Mimic. Both Repeater
and Mimic include audible and visible warning
facilities.

The DC/DC Converter produces regulated d.c.
supplies from the ACPM outputs for use by the
panel logic circuits. The DC/DC Converter is
normally supplied only with MINERVA 80 and is
fitted into the panel housing. A special version is
available for loop powered MINERVA systems. An
additional DC/DC converter may be used to
supply power to two additional MPIM cards.
