Re: Field Electronics

I am aware that it does not contain the firmware. But in the way of firmware I have a doubt that it is custom created. Because all the SCC's serve in such a way that it is mainly I/O and then a network switch.

In the SCC there is I/O for the E-stop interface, a switch to tie in all of the DSes. There is a switch port to tie in the judges panelview interface. And I just checked in the field manual and even the scoring targets for the minibot poles get plugged into the network switch. And then there are ethernet ports for the team signs and timer to get plugged into, along with the status lights in front of every DS.

From the images I can decipher there are 3 main components to and SCC. There is the AB Armorblock On-machine IO device, and as far as I can tell this device requires little to no setup besides assigning it an ip address. There is a stratix 8000 AB network switch, I am unsure of why this specific device was chosen, but I think it is solely to operate either the DSes or signs/timers. And finally there is a Cisco Linksys network switch.

OK, just checked. The Linksys switch is specifically for the scoring I/O device and the ethernet based DMX controllers for the minibot base lights. So that means the AB stratix 8000 takes care of the rest.
