Стажер студент На заявках Российская Федерация Оренбург	добрый день. Аппарат medrad vistron ct vhu 600 на питаюшем проводе оторвали 3 проводка. Не знаю какой куда засунуть (вырвали из гнезда). У кого есть цветная распиновка данных проводов? поделитесь пожалуйста

инженер На заявках Российская Федерация Воронеж	У кого на Вистроне ошибка С599 при введении постоянно выскакивает, временно можно обмануть аппарат выставив не одну фазу, а две. Допустим, надо ввести 80 мл, выставляете 10 и 70 и вводите друг за другом. Пауза, конечно будет, но минимальная и на качество исследования не влияет.

Передовик engineer На заявках Российская Федерация Россия	По ошибке С599. По моим наблюдениям — возникает от «дребезга»/залипания одного из 4-х датчиков определени размера. Также проверено, что та же ошибка будет если не по порядку наживать на датчики по часовой стрелке — имитируя «вкручивание» колбы. Конкретно был случай — глючил 4-ый (который отдельно датчик стоит) — поменял его с 3-им — т.к. он в конце уже нажимается (когда колба уже окончательно поворотом фиксируется), то ошибки нет… Т.е. самыми критичными являются 1 и 4-ый датчики (из-за 1-го в любой момент ошибка будет, а из-за 4-го — в момент наполнения колбы)

Передовик engineer На заявках Российская Федерация Россия	Как писал выше — попробуйте поменять местами датчики 1 и, скажем, 3-ий и поэкспериментируйте с пустой колбой и водой. Новые датчики вроде продаются, но цена….

инженер На заявках Российская Федерация Воронеж	Не так давно занимался с коллегами ошибкой 599. До этого имел разговор с инженером Байер, он сказал, что причин для ошибки 599 несколько: датчики колбы, энкодер, задающий положение штока и датчик частоты оборотов (инкрементный энкодер HEDL-5500), который очень редко глючит, так что его мы исключили до поры до времени. Энкодер представляет собой многооборотный потенциометр на 15 кОм, маркировка7286-3190A. Такого потенциометра в продаже нет! Но есть похожий. Разница в ручке, нужна под шлиц, а продается с прорезью под отвертку. Как диагностировали: подцепили к потенциометру омметр и вращали рукоять ручной подачи от упора до упора. В двух местах показания плавали, значит дорожка там стерлась. В крайнем нижнем положении штока колбы потенциометр показывает 0,5 Ом. Это важно. Так же есть метка на зубчатом колесе, которое одевается на ручку потенциометра. Был куплен потенциометр с ручкой под отвертку (цена около 1500 руб.), коллега-мастер-на-все-руки переточил надфилем ручку под шлиц, так, что бы при сборке метка на зубчатом колесе совпала с сопротивлением 0,5 Ом на потенциометре. Ну и надо помнить, что при снятом потенциометре ручку ручной подачи трогать нельзя! Я боялся, что при замене потенциометра потребуется калибровка, но обошлось, все заработало и так. За полтора месяца ошибка не появлялась ни разу.

Заглянувший медтехник На заявках Российская Федерация Северобайкальск	Ошибка Е82 или как сказал инженер Байер 382 -это отказ CPU или MPU (нет связи между блоками).В ремонт не берут, говорят- снят с производства. Может кто-то имел эту проблему?

Modes of Operation Power Up

The system power switch is located on the power supply. This switch enables or disables power to all system components. A standby switch on the Head disables functions of certain components, but keeps power supplied to all system microprocessors. When the main power switch is on, power is applied to all system electrical components. The MPU and DPU microprocessors are completely independent of each other; one is not designated to start before the other. Once logic power is applied to all microprocessors and other components, software controls the power-up sequence.

System Reset

There are several methods to reset the three separate CPUs and hardware devices in the MEDRAD Vistron CT  system.  system. One microprocessor and other hardware devices reside on each MPU, DPU, and IHU card. Reset Method

5-2

Type

Description

1

Power On Reset

On power up, each of the three CPUs and PLD/Memory ICs are issued iss ued a reset by individual resistor-capacitor networks on their respective reset input pins.

2

Exiting a Standby State (Master Reset)

If a user momentarily presses the “Standby“ key on the front panel overlay, overl ay, and the system was in the “Standby” state set by a previous press, the MPU and DPU CPUs and PLD/Memory IC devices are issued a reset.

3

IHU Reset

If communication is lost between the MPU and the IHU for a period of 1 second, the IHU CPU and PLD/Memory IC will remain in a reset condition. The reset will be taken away (deasserted) when communications have been reestablished.

4

Low AC Line Voltage (Brown Out)

The IHU, DPU, and MPU will reset if the +30V supply drops to approximately 27VDC. The 30V supply will drop with a temporary loss of AC mains. An AC Main drop of 200 milliseconds or greater can trigger a system reset.

Theory of Operation Cold-Boot

Active Mode

Standby Mode

When executing, the PLD/Memory IC open drain output is set low. The processors go through their internal reset sequence.  After the boot boot process process is complete, complete, if a Standb Standby y key press of at least 3 seconds is detected at the MPU, a software suspended operation begins: disabling active functions, turning off the syringe heater, blanking the displays, etc. When the suspend operation completes, the PLD/Memory IC open drain port floats high, enabling the reset ability of the Standby key. When in the standby mode, the PLD/Memory IC open drain is set high, enabling the Standby button to force a master reset to both the MPU and DPU processors. This starts a cold boot process in both processors, clearing any states or modes that are currently active.

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System

Power Distribution Source voltage of 100-240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz is converted to +30 VDC by the Power Supply Box to supply the MEDRAD Vistron CT system. The +30 VDC power is routed to the Remote Monitor and the Injector Head through their respective cables. Inside the Injector Head, +30V goes to the MPU, then to the Power Control Unit (PCU). The PCU produces selected MPU DC voltage supplies. T hese include +15V, +15V, +24VL, -15V and +5V-MPU, for use throughout the sys tem. The MPU maintains a +5 volt supply (+5V-REF). The DPU also receives +30V (via the MPU) and maintains +5 volt supply (+5V-DPU) and +5 volt reference (+5REF-DPU). The IHU receives +30V directly from the Power Supply Box to produce +5V-IHU.

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System

Common System Functions Static Protection

The MPU, DPU, and IHU boards use the SP720 ESD arrestor to protect specific signals from static interference when power is applied. ESD protection is provided to external and sensitive signals to prevent transients from causing injector malfunction.

System Communications

Communication channels exist between the MPU and DPU, and the MPU and IHU. The RS422 protocol is used, running at 19.2K Baud. Each CPU on the MPU, DPU and IHU obtain timing from their own individual crystals. Communication channels verify timing through communication port synchronization, comparing time bases with communication watchdogs, thus allowing confirmation that all processors are running on the correct time basis. The IHU provides a unique signal (IHU FAULT #). This signal is asserted if an IHU overlay button is pressed and no communication is received from the IHU. This fault signal opens the safe relay via a hardware path on the MPU, disabling power to the motor.

Background Monitoring

5-6

The MPU and DPU are capable of monitoring critical signals. One processor may originate a signal while the other monitors the signal. The monitored signal is a separate signal derived from the control signal. The derived signal originates from the control signal, and is limited by a resistor. This resistor allows the control signal voltage to be monitored, while preventing the derived signal from impacting the device being monitored.

Theory of Operation

Power Control Unit (PCU)

5-7

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System

Power Control Unit (PCU) This card, mounted below the MPU, contains all circuitry required to power the MPU card. The PCU contains all of the MPU regulators: 5 volt (+5V-MPU), +15, -15, +24VL and +30VB (FET Boost Voltage). The PCU has a thermal switch on the VP30-SRL line which opens at 65 C (149 F), disabling power from the high side of the safe relay, preventing motor operation until the temperature in the head is reduced to approximately 40 C (104 F). °

+15 Volt Supply

The +15 volt circuit is designed to supply various ICs on the MPU, including MC34152P driver for the lower H-Bridge FETs. The +15V supply is generated from the 30V main supply using a +15 volt switching regulator.

+30 Volt Boost Supply (+30VB)

The upper H-bridge FETs, which control motor velocity, require a boost voltage of +45 volts. To accomplish this, a charge pump on the PCU card adds +30 volts to the +15 volt supply. This charge pump circuit, running at 500 KHz, uses two drivers as an oscillator/driver, generating the sum of +30 and +15 volts for the total required voltage. Boost voltage is switchable switchabl e between +45V and +15V, +15V, controlled by the MPU Load-Enable signal.  A boost voltage is needed needed to activate activate the H-bridge FET FET gates. gates. All FETs in the H-bridge are N channel FETs, two of which are followers. Typically the gates should run 8 volts greater than the supply voltage when followers are being used. A gate-source of greater than 4 volts above the supply voltage ensures a minimum amount of voltage drop over the H-bridge. There is a 2 to 4 volt drop across a FET because of the gate-to-source threshold in a follower configuration. The boost voltage ensures that when the FETs are in follower mode, that the FETs on the high side drop the minimal amount of voltage (saturation). This same charge pump circuit also supplies -15 volts. An inverter taps off the boost oscillator. It is used by the motor current amp, multiplexer, and comparator on the MPU card.

+5 Volt Logic Supply (+5V-MPU)

5-8

Conversion circuitry is located on the PCU card. The logic supply is generated from the main supply of +30 VDC through a +5 volt switching regulator. The resulting voltage is known as +5V-MPU, indicating that the voltage originated and is used by the MPU.

Theory of Operation There are also a +5V-DPU and +5REF-DPU supply voltage gener ated on the DPU card. In addition, there is a +5V-REF generated on the MPU. +24 Volts Limited Supply (+24VL)

Twenty-four volts (+24VL) is provided to drive the syringe heater and conventional hand switch lamp. The +24 volt supply is generated on the PCU card from the system +30 VDC through a current-limiting regulator. Current is limited to 1 amp so that at +24 volts there is a maximum of 24 watts output.  An additional additional PTC PTC resistor resistor is in series with +24V as as a secondary secondary limit, limiting current at 500 mA. This resistor activates within five seconds of a current greater than 500 mA, and will reset when the short circuit is removed, thus limiting output power to peripherals. The resulting voltage is known as +24VL. This circuit uses a high current ground.  A digital digital shutdown shutdown signal signal for the +24VL +24VL supply supply (VP24-SHDN) (VP24-SHDN) is proprovided by the MPU’s second PLD/Memory IC on Pin 8 of Port B. This control provides shut down of the regulator during Standby operation to remove power from the syringe heater and the handswitch lamp*. * During Standby, the Displays also turn off via DPU commands.

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System Communication Ports

The MPU uses an external DUART to communicate to both the IHU as RS-422, and the DPU as logic level. The MPU also utilizes an internal UART to communicate, via RS232, to the Manufacturing Port (MFG-TXD-RS232). The external DUART transmits and receives at a rate of 19.2K Baud

+5 Volt Reference Supply (+5V-REF)

The analog circuitry of the MPU requires a +5 volt reference (+5VREF). It provides the accuracy for the plunger pots, plunger pot readings, supply voltage measurements and pressure settings. The +5VREF voltage is generated from the +30 VDC supply by a +5 volt reference regulator on the MPU card.

Bus Signals

The CPU address and data are shared on a common bus. During read and write external bus cycles, the address is presented first, latched by the ALE (Address Latch Enable), then the data is presented. During the data portion of the cycle, the read or writ e control is asserted to direct data flow.

The Forward and Reverse load controls that control manual motor positioning are primarily monitored by the DPU. This circuit is responsible for monitoring syringe pressure. This primary channel uses two op amps for filtering and gain. A 0.1 ohm resistor is the normal current sampling resistor used during an injection. This configuration will yield a 0.1V per amp. The resulting current is fed to the first stage of the op amp filter, which has a gain of 10 with an integrator. The cut off frequency for the filter is approximately 159 Hz. The switching frequency off the servo is approximately 21 KHz. The output of the first stage is 1V/amp. The second stage has a 1.59 KHz cut off frequency and is a follow-up filter with a gain of 1 (one).  Any remaining ripple from the servo should be removed by the second stage.  A series series resistor resistor is added to the the output output amp to to limit current. The motor motor current is run through static protection where it is clamped at 5 volts from analog ground. A 0-5 volt signal will be approximately 0-5 amps, or 0-500 psi.

5 — 14

Theory of Operation  A current source source circuit circuit feeds the the current current sampling resistor, resistor, and proprovides a 100 milliampere offset to the current monitoring op amps. The source circuit also al so provides a check against the 0.1 ohm resistor when switching resistors in and out during current monitoring. It confirms that the 0.1 or 1 ohm resistor is in the circuit when appropriate, and is used to determine if a short exists on the low side current sampling, (the motor lead externally is shorted from the card). If current source reads less than 100 milliamps, a short exists. Even without motor output, the current source offset is present and continuously monitored. Motor Control

Two microprocessor digital I/O bits are used to control motor direction via a DC voltage, while two others, connected internally to the PWM unit of the microprocessor, provide a chopped duty cycle (PWM) that controls motor velocity. For each PWM duty cycle, there is a corresponding motor velocity. The motor is connected to the piston through gearing. The encoder is attached to the motor shaft, and provides counts to the decoders on the MPU and DPU. The counts represent position change. Two position pots (A and B) are attached to the motor through a second set of gears. Pot voltage is fed to the MPU microprocessor’s A/D, representing piston position. The MEDRAD Vistron CT  system  system uses four power FETs in an H-Bridge configuration to drive the motor. The two upper FETs control velocity via PWM from the Processor. The lower two FETs control direction. A safe relay switches the motor supply ( +30 Volts) which supplies the top of the H-Bridge. A load resistor, PTC element, and blocking diode, are in series with the relay and top of H-Bridge to allow a simulated test current. During Pre-Arm diagnostics, these components are shunted by another FET, controlled by Load-Enable during normal injection operation. The upper PWM FETs are controlled by pre-drivers that convert the processor outputs into a boost voltage to supply the FET gate inputs. The upper FETs also have circuitry that allow the gates to discharge rapidly, and protect from over voltage gate-source. The boost voltage that supplies the upper FET gates is switchable between +15V (nominal) and +45V (nominal). This is to allow reduced drive voltages during the Load Test State of the motor section. The two lower FETs control the direction of the motor. They are controlled by a pre-driver IC supplied with +15 volts. These pre-drivers convert TTL voltage outputs from the processor into +15 Volt logic. The gates of the FETs have series termination resistance to reduce ringing in the gate drive waveform. Surrounding the motor are four steering diodes that are responsible for directing motor current during non-commanded operation to flow through the sampling resistor. This allows a comparison of motor current and pressure in the syringe. There is also a MOV across the motor to prevent motor noise spikes from being generated.

5 — 15

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System The pre-drivers for the Forward and Reverse PWM FETs operate in the following manner:  A high level level from the the processor, processor, which commands commands a move, is inverted by the high current driver IC supplied with +15 Volts. The low output of the driver IC activates the common base NPN transistor (due to its emitter being below the base by more than a diode drop). The current is limited by a series resistor which is shunted by a capacitor for increased AC or pulse operation. A diode in parallel with the emitter base is added to prevent the reverse breakdown of the transistor from being exceeded when the driver IC output is in the high state (+15V). The NPN being active, activates the PNP transistor (due to the base of the PNP dropping below the emitter). Current can then flow from the + 30 V supply through the limiting resistor, through the PNP transistor, through the series gate diode, and charge the FET internal gate capacitance (turning the FET on). A 15V zener diode is used to limit the gate to source voltage to 15V.  A low low level level from from the the processor yields +15V on the IC pre-driver pre-driver output. This deactivates the NPN and PNP transistors, causing the base of the discharge transistor to drop below the emitter. Once this occurs, the discharge transistor activates, quickly discharging the gate capacitance to the source of the FET Safe Relay

One safe relay is used to switch +30 Volts to the H-Bridge. Multiple digital I/O port bits control the safe relay. One bit is electrically connected to the IHU, allowing the MPU to detect an IHU fault condition.  An IHU fault fault will open open the safe safe relay. relay. By changing changing the the state of these bits from high to low or low to high, the relay may be energized or deenergized as needed. The relay is a mechanism used by the MPU, DPU and IHU to disable power to the motor if there is a failure. Both sides of the safe relay coil must be energized to supply an output voltage to the H-bridge motor. The +30 Volts switched by the contacts (VP30S) is monitored by both the MPU and DPU. The lower side of the safe relay is controlled by the MPU and IHU fault, the upper side by the DPU and over-current latch.  A secondary secondary method method is provided to determine determine if the safe safe relay is open or closed. It is SRL-INACTIVE which goes to both the MPU and DPU boards. Primary monitoring is on the actual analog voltage from the safe relay rel ay..

5 — 16

Theory of Operation This design supports one safe relay and uses the Load Test to simulate pressure and over-pressure conditions. It also provides dynamic motor braking from the MPU, independent of safe relay control. Activating either the high or the low side of the bridge will shunt the motor, whether or not safe relay supplied power is available. The safe relay has two transistor drives: the high side is controlled by the DPU and over-current latch; the low side is controlled by the MPU and IHU. The MPU sets the relay on; the DPU monitors that signal. The SRL-MPU signal is current limited with a resistor. The IHU has the ability to override the MPU signal if there is a key press fault. The FAULT# signal is conditioned by an opto to remove any DC voltage offsets introduced by cabling, before it is introduced into the low side drive override. The high side control of the safe relay is controlled by the DPU. It runs through a current limiting resistor before going to an inverter transistor. The transistor inverter converts the TTL voltage from the DPU safe relay control signal (SRL-DPU) to +30 volts to match the high side safe relay control transistor.  A monitoring monitoring signal (SRL-DPUR) comes comes off off the main DPU control control signal. The MPU can monitor the state of the DPU signal, but can not change it. The current limiting resistor on the DPU control line is needed to support an OR circuit which permits an over-current signal to open (off) the safe relay through the DPU signal line. The over-current latch can override the DPU signal and open the safe relay independent of either MPU or DPU processor commands. The latch is driven by a generated over-current detection signal (describe below) and can be cleared with an over-current clear signal from the MPU processor. During re-initialization, reset, or power-up, the latch can be cleared. Since this is an edge-triggered device, the clear command is only issued once. If the over-current condition remains, the latch will prohibit the safe relay from being bei ng closed (on). The output of the safe relay goes into the inverter and to the MPU. The signal to the MPU is limited by a resistor, preventing current override of the hardware in the event of an MPU failure. The output of the latch is also sent back to the DPU. The same design is used on the DPU: DPU : the signal goes through a resistor so the signal cannot be overridden, only monitored. The latch is powered by the DPU supply to isolate it from MPU failures. The over-current detect circuit is powered by the DPU +5 volt supply, providing a secondary control channel if the primary circuit on the MPU fails (IMOTOR). This is a simple comparator which monitors the signals from the motor current op amps (1 volt per amp) and the signal from the DPU DAC signal. The DAC performs a DPU linearity test

5 — 17

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System on arming, then sets to the preset current trip point, plus some tolerance value. For example, if the limit is 300 psi (equivalent to approximately 3.2 volts), the DAC will be set to 3.8 volts. The comparator is powered by the DPU supply to isolate it from MPU failures. The result of the comparator feeds the over-current latch, described above. Load Enable Test

This circuit allows software to perform a reduced current test on the Hbridge FETs, and current monitoring checking to simulate full motor current. In test mode, LOAD-ENABLE is asserted, opening the load resistor shunting FET which provides a simulated load of approximately one tenth of the motor resistance. LOAD-ENABLE also controls whether the +30V boost voltage (+30VB) for the H-Bridge drivers is +15V or +45V. LOAD-TEST is asserted to remove the shunting FET to provide a current sampling resistor 10 times greater than normal. ISAMPLETEST is asserted to introduce a small correction current to change the gain of the op amps. The H-bridge and current path can now be tested at one tenth the power, while still testing the full range of the analog current path. The load resistor is protected by a series connected PTC (positive temperature coefficient resistor) resistive element. If testing time is greater than 3 to 4 seconds, the PTC opens. In normal operation, the load resistor and higher value sampling resistor are shunted to provide normal current monitoring. In the event of a failure in the load test circuitry, performance would be degraded and detected. LOAD-ENABLE is protected by an optical isolator. The opto/zener clamp, running off of Vboost controls the gate of the safe relay FET. When the FET is open, current flows through the load resistor, reducing the system current by a factor of 10. A PTC in series with the 75 ohm resistor limits the current if it exceeds current over time. For example, 300 milliamps are expected, but if present for 4-5 seconds, the circuit opens. The motor typically uses 3.3 — 3.8 amps, to generate 300 psi. If there is a 30 volt supply and 3.3 amps, the motor acts like a 9-10 ohm resistor. If 3.3 amps are typically expected through the circuit, the load test should simulate a 0.33 amp load (30 volts and 75 ohms). A simulated full duty cycle linearity test on the bridge can be performed. One tenth the current is present. Therefore, on the load side in normal mode, the FET on the bottom is shunting the 1 ohm resistor. (10 ohm is now 1 ohm.) Sampling current at ground, the bottom side of the one tenth resistor and high side is on the top side of the one tenth op amp. Reading across one tenth resistor yields 1 amp. One amp equals one tenth volts x 10 equals 1 volt.

5 — 18

Theory of Operation LOAD-ENABLE

LOAD-ENABLE is generated from a WaferScale output on the MPU card. As its name implies, it is a high true signal. The WaferScale device configures this signal as a open drain output. On power-up, it floats to a high impedance state until it becomes initialized. Due to the external pull-up resistor on this pin, the output of the WaferScale will be high on power-up. When the LOAD-ENABLE signal is high, the associated NPN transistor (U8) is on, the N-channel FET (Q12) is off, and the opto (U23) is on. With the FET off, the associated PNP transistor (Q11) is off, which removes the +30V supply to the boost circuitry on the PCU. In this case, the boost output supply is +15V. With the opto on, the FET that is across the load resistor is off due to no voltage from gate to source. With the FET off, the PTC and load resistor are in the circuit. The circuitry was arranged in this manner to ensure that if, due to a processor failure or processor emulation, the bridge was inadvertently activated, lower currents would flow through the bridge. With the load-enable signal low, the boost output voltage is +45V and the load resistor and PTC are shunted by the associated FET.

A/D Reference

 A precision +2.5 volt reference voltage voltage is developed developed to verify that that the  A/D is reading reading properly properly..

Analog Multiplexor 

 An analog analog multiplexor multiplexor is in place place to switch switch available available analog analog channels channels for background monitoring by the microprocessor’s single internal A/D converter. The desired analog channel is selected by setting the select lines (A0-A2) to high. The resulting binary number selects the channel (S1-S8) to be read. The analog reading input is switched to the analog output and sent to the microprocessor A/D. Software can use this mechanism to periodically monitor the defined voltages. The multiplexor output (ACH-MUX) is a common analog channel, run through static protection. Most inputs are also static protected.

Syringe Detection

The system is capable of detecting MEDRAD 200ml and 125ml disposables, pre-filled syringes, and the 100 ml adaptor plate. Four size sensors are used to provide signals from which the software can interpret the type of syringe loaded on the head. The 100 ml syringe adapter adds a 20 ml offset to compensate for the overall syringe length. Each sensor is comprised of an emitter (LED) and a detector (photo transistor). When the operator rotates a syringe in the syringe interface adapter on the head, indents on the syringe force detection pins to move in or out. The emitter is blocked or open depending on the position of the pin. This is a static reading which assumes that the present position is the position during operation.

5 — 19

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System When a pin is “out”, light from the LED emitter passes directly to the photo receptor. The sensor is conducting and, therefore considered CLOSED. When a pin is “in”, light cannot reach the photo receptor. The sensor is not conducting, therefore it is considered OPEN. Because of this design, not only do the pins provide syringe information, they allow the size detection system to be tested. If a pin is “out” and light passes through to the photo detector, it is possible to read it. Upon power up (with no syringe attached), through transistor logic, the microprocessor can turn the emitter on and off to verify operation of the output of the detector. The size detectors can then be read. The configuration of the detector readings determines if a syringe is place, and what size it is. Action

Three long life arm lights are located on the Lamp card in the Head. The bulbs are rated at 28 volts, and are socketed for accessibility.  A piston potentiometer potentiometer (MPU plunger pots) pots) is gear gear driven from the ballscrew shaft, and supplies the piston’s absolute reference position (in terms of voltage) to the MPU processor. Pot voltages are terminated by pull down resistors, filter caps, and static protection, then are routed directly to the MPU CPU analog inputs.

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System Communications Port

The DPU uses the microprocessor’s internal UART, a digital line, to communicate to the MPU.

+5V Logic Supply (+5V-DPU)

The DPU generates a local digital component +5 volt supply (+5VDPU) from the +30V-DPU voltage via a 5 volt switching regulator.

+5V Reference Supply (+5REF-DPU)

 A +5 volt analog reference reference (+5REF-DPU) (+5REF-DPU) is provided provided specifically specifically for the DPU CPU and DAC. This ensures that the processor has an analog reference for the internal A/D. It is supplied by the +30V-DPU voltage, and uses +5 volt reference regulator on the MPU card.  A precision +2.5 volt reference is provided to confirm A/D readings. readings. It is supplied with the +30V-DPU voltage, with typical output of 2.5 volts.

Serial E2PROM

The serial E 2PROM is used to store the last completed injection protocol. Memory is non-volatile 16-bit, and is accessed serially by clocking a 9-bit command instruction, instr uction, followed by 16 bits of data in or out of the device. It is enabled by SPI-CS2 and SPI-CS3 chip selects. Provided commands are: read, write and erase. Erase and write times require 10 ms per access. The maximum clock transfer is 1 MHz.

Soft Pots

The Soft Pot switches used in MEDRAD Vistron CT are individual switches with binary weighting. The forward (extend) and reverse (retract) softpots allow the user to manually adjust the position of the piston for loading a syringe. Each voltage level for a given wiper position on the softpot corresponds to a motor velocity command. The soft pots are supplied by the +5V-DPU voltage.

Safe Relay Control

Static Protection SP720

5 — 24

The DPU generates the signal SRL-DPU which is used to enable the high side drive MPU safe relay. The DPU also monitors the status of the MPU drive signal for the safe relay, SRL-MPU-R.  All analog channels are protected protected against against static static build-up build-up and over voltage when no power is applied to the card using 10K-33K pull downs. This protects sensitive signals during handling. ESD handling precautions should be observed when troubleshooting and replacing boards and components. The SP720 is really only effective while power is applied.

Theory of Operation Display

There are three display drivers: One controls the 3 Syringe Volume 7segment LEDs and various discrete LEDs on the overlay. The second driver controls 4 Pressure 7-segment LEDs, 1 Phase 7-segment LEDs, and 3 Program Volume 7-segment LEDs. The third driver controls the 4 Duration 7-segment LEDs, 2 scan Delay 7-segment LEDs, and 2 Flow Rate 7-segment LEDs. Each driver is supplied by +5V-DPU. The CPU SPI outputs control to each driver, arranged in a daisy-chain configuration. Write control only is provided. A16-bit address/command and data pattern is clocked to the device for control. Commands include brightness, decoding, and sleep.

Over Pressure Trip Circuitry

The DPU utilizes a digital potentiometer (DAC) which generates a voltage, DAC-DPU, that establishes a trip point for a overpressure comparator on the MPU card.

Keypad

The keypad is located on the Head overlay. Signals from the keypad are static protected before reaching the CPU.  A 4 column (driven) by by 8 row (input) (input) keypad keypad is used. The columns columns are are controlled through Port Por t B on the PLD/Memory IC. Typically, these pins are driven; however, they can be tested to verify their operation. The rows are controlled through Port 1 on the DPU CPU as an 8-bit read.

Speaker 

 An electromagnet electromagnetic, ic, inductive speaker is attached attached to the the high speed speed I/O port on the microprocessor to provide audible warning and error tones to the operator. The processor provides a high speed output to the driver with variable frequency control. It can signal the user with different tones ranging between 20 Hz to 20 KHz (standard audible range). A different tone can be generated for different alert conditions. This overcomes the need to use multiple monotone beeps for alerts. Tones and tonal combinations will help the user readily identify a problem or condition. By varying the duty cycle (PWM) of the signal, volume can be controlled to high, medium and low levels.

DPU Low AC Line Voltage Detector (Brown-out)

 An AC Main Main drop of of 200 milliseconds milliseconds or or greater can trigger trigger a system reset. The +30V supply will drop with a temporary loss of AC mains. This circuit will toggle the reset line (RESET-MSTR#) low to the DPU processor and the MPU if the +30V supply drops below 27VDC.

Theory of Operation Keypad

Communications Port

There are two keypad switches on the IHU. The switches are START/HOLD and DISARM.  A RS-422 port from the microprocessor microprocessor allows allows the IHU to communicommunicate with the MPU. This connection allows the microprocessors in the IHU and the MPU to synchronize time bases and perform back up monitoring.

+5V Logic Supply (+5V-IHU)

The IHU generates a local digital component +5 volt supply (+5VDPU) from the +30V-DPU voltage via a 5 volt switching regulator.

Keypad Fault Detection

The purpose of this circuit is to shut the injector unit down if the key board or IHU processor fails. Both the MPU and DPU monitor the FAULT# signal. If the FAULT# signal is generated from the IHU hardware, the Safe Relay on the MPU card is opened via hardware. In normal operation, when a key is pressed on the IHU overlay, a communication packet is sent to the MPU. The IHU processor also strobes a hardware circuit, disabling the FAULT# signal from being asserted. In a failure condition however, if the IHU processor does not respond to an overlay key depression within 22 mS, the FAULT# signal will be enabled and allowed to be asserted to the MPU. If the +5V supply fails, the Fault# will also be asserted.

Speaker 

This is the same circuit used on the injector head DPU.

Reset

The IHU utilizes a timing monostable (one-shot) that is triggered by MPU communications. If communications are lost for 1 second, the circuit will time out and issue a reset to the IHU CPU. The CPU will remain in the reset state until communications are re-established.

IHU Low AC Line Voltage Reset (Brown-out)

 An AC Main Main drop of of 200 milliseconds milliseconds or or greater can trigger trigger a system reset. The +30V supply will drop with a temporary loss of AC mains. This circuit will toggle the reset line low to the IHU processor if the +30V supply drops below 27VDC.

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System

 AutoLink Interface — ISI The Vistron CT AutoLink Interface board (ISI) resides within the Vistron CT Power Supply Module. The board acts as an interconnect card for the injector head and IHU modules, and provides an isolated interface connection between the Vistron CT injector and a compatible CT Scanner. The interface consists of one input and one output to the scanner. The input is comprised of two signal lines, and the output is comprised of three signal lines, with all lines fully isolated to provide protection to both the injection system and the scanner. Physical connection to the scanner is provided through the J302 connector. The ISI board is controlled by the IHU through the BITENABLE# / ISIOUT# and EXTIN1 / ISI-IN signals. An additional FAULT# signal allows interface function testing. NOTE: AutoLin AutoLink k funtiona funtionality lity is availa available ble only only if the system system is equipped with an Autolink compatable IHU CPU card, MEDRAD part number 3003047.

MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System ISI Output

The ISI output consists of an opto isolator and relay with DPDT contact arrangements. The opto isolator provides isolation, and the relay provides normally closed, normally open, and relay common contacts (routed to the AutoLink connector), which provide either a normally open or normally closed current path for the scanner. Relay Contact Specifications: Specifications: Maximum Operating Current  Minimum Permissible Load  Total Maximum Switc hing Capacity  Maximum Operating Voltage

0.75 Amp 10uA, 10mV 31VA 31VA or 17 watts 125 VAC / 110 VDC.

The common contact is not connected to any common within the power supply, thus allowing for full electrical isolation between the injector and the scanner. The common line has a Thermistor in series to limit inrush current through the circuit. Relay activation is supplied via drive circuit on the IHU CPU card. The drive circuit on the IHU CPU is comprised of a VN2222 N-Channel FET. The gate of the FET has a pull down resistor and is controlled via Port A, Channel 0, of the waferscale PSD303. Port A, Channel 0 will be configured via software, after injector power-up, as a CMOS output. When a logic 1 is written to the port, the output will set to approximately 5 volts, which will bias the FET to the on state. When on, current will flow through the FET, energizing the opto, causing the relay to activate. A logic 0 written to the port will set the output to approximately 0 volts, de-energizing the FET, which will deactivate the relay. The FET’s drain is connected to the pre-existing BITENABLE# line of the IHU CPU. A damping diode is also placed across the source and drain of the FET to shunt the counter EMF produced by the relay coil when the relay is deactivated. ISI Input

Two lines are used for ISI input. A bi-directional transzorb is used across the scanner inputs for protection of overvoltage transients. The circuit is arranged ar ranged in a fashion that without any input from fr om the scanner, the optoisolator on the ISI board is off. When in this state, the signal ISI_IN to the IHU CPU is pulled high (5.1V) by the combination of Z1, R4, and the +12V supply output. When the scanner provides the input signal, via a connection between J302 pin 20 and J302 pin 25, approximately 10 mA of opto current flows and the signal ISI_IN becomes active. The active voltage level is approximately 2.0V. This is accomplished using R4, +12V, and Z2. The intermediate analog voltage defines the 0V state as NO BOARD PRESENT. There is a maximum contact resistance specification for the scanner input when the input is active (contact closure on input) to ensure that the opto will conduct. The total loop resistance from J302 pin 20 to J302 pin 25 will not exceed 200 ohms.

Theory of Operation Test Mode

 A separate separate cable cable test function function is available available for the the ISI to to ensure proper operation, utilizing two additional signals CBLTST_OUT and CBLTST_COM (J302 pins 11 and 13). These signals are used to simulate a contact closure from the scanner, to test cable integrity and ISI board circuitry. The FAULT# signal from the IHU initiates the test. When this signal is activated low, the U5 optoisolator is activated, allowing the output transistor to act as a saturated switch, simulating a scanner contact closure. In order for this system to function properly, the following signals must be tied together at the scanner connector: J302 pin 11 to pin 20, and, J302 pin 13 to J302 pin 25. When the test is initiated, current flows from ISO+5V through R5, through the opto, and the conductor J302 pin 20, to the scanner. This current is then routed back through the conductor at J302 pin 11, to the ISI board opto U5, through conductor c onductor J302 pin 13, and back to the t he scanner. From the scanner again, it is routed through the conductor at J302 pin 25, back to the ISI board to isolated ground, thus completing the current path. With the path complete, U4 is activated and the software verifies proper cable and ISI operation. When the cable test is active, a voltage of approximately 2.0 volts will be present on the ISI_IN line.

Описание

Автоматизированное введение рентгеноконтрастного вещества усиливает контрастное разрешение тканей, в результате чего более четко определяется граница между мягкими тканями — обеспечивается качественная визуализация кровенаполнения и дифференциация очагов поражения в печени, почках, надпочечниках, поджелудочной железе, средостении и в его сосудах, а также выявление гемангиом (сосудистых образований доброкачественного характера).

С помощью устройства Vistron CT радиологическое исследование спирального сканирования проводится по методике болюсного усиления. Эта методика позволяет включать рентгеновское излучение при максимальном накоплении контрастного вещества в области исследования, что дает возможность более точно дифференцировать тканевую структуру органов пациентов. Характеристики кровенаполнения органов позволяют ставить диагноз доброкачественной или злокачественной опухоли при исследовании головного мозга, легких, брюшной полости, полости малого таза.

Устройство Vistron CT позволяет строго дозировать объем, скорость и время процесса введения рентгеноконтрастных веществ, точно синхронизируя начало и окончание инъекции с процессом радиологического обследования.

Программирование устройства по введению рентгеноконтрастных веществ осуществляется на панели управления. Перед сеансом диагностики специалист вводит необходимые данные объема, максимального расхода, временной задержки, длительности и предельного давления. Наблюдение и запуск рентгеноконтрастного вещества осуществляется с удаленного терминала.

Характеристики

Параметры расхода (скорости, с которой производится введение рентгеноконтрастного вещества в мл/сек), объема и длительности являются взаимно зависимыми. По выбранным величинам расхода и объема, устройство автоматически вычисляет и отображает значение длительности процедуры. И наоборот, если будет задан только объем, то устройство автоматически отобразит значение расхода и т.д.

Суммарный запрограммированный объем для многостадийной инъекции не может превышать максимальной емкости колбы для рентгеноконтрастного вещества (125 или 200 мл).

Диапазон значений объема составляет от 10 мл до полного объема колбы (125 или 200 мл).

Для работы с устройством внутривенного введения рентгеноконтрастных веществ Vistron CT необходимо использовать полимерные одноразовые стерильные емкости для рентгеноконтрастного вещества, которые фиксируются на устройстве и через них осуществляется набор и подача рентгеноконтрастного вещества для пациента в нужном объеме.
