1.1.1 LF INTERFACE

This section involves three different cards:

• LFS Low Frequency Section and its daughter board
• INTE Transit Interface
• CCUN Universal Calling Converter ( optional )
The LFS manages all the LF services such as Speech & Signaling, Telegraph service,
Low Speed Modem and Transit Interface. The analogue inputs are converted by A/D
components; the digital signals are further elaborated by the DSP which in a frequency
division technics adds all the useful signals coming from the field, in order to build an
unique bit stream which is transferred to the HF section.
Vice versa, on the reception path the digital signals coming from the HF side are
elaborated, converted by D/A component and sent to the analogue interface.
LFS card provides the equalization function of RX frequency band using 8 tones
transmitted on 300 ÷ 3720 Hz transmitted by the remote PLC 1790/B equipment and
compared with the same frequencies stored in the local LFS card.
A stored programmable equalizer is present on the line L2 in order to perform the
equalization of the nominal frequency band 300 ÷ 3720 Hz of a cable which is used to
connect e remote equipment.
A LFS daughter card can be equipped to perform a 1200 bps over-voice frequency band
modem and extend. telegraph channel interface up to 3 input-output telegraph channel
interfaces.
According to the equipment configuration up to two LFS cards can be equipped. As
optional the LFS can be completed with the CCUN, Universal Calling Converter, which
has the capability to interface up two local telephone sets or PAX lines. It can be
programmed as Long Line Extension Exchange or Telephone side, with either local or
central power supply.
INTE card, which can be equipped in alternative to a LFS card, is basically used for LF
back to back connection between two PLC or others different analogue carriers. The LF
useful band is available on 4 wire input / output. Being the unit designed for double
channels, only one card is usually equipped and housed independently on one of the LF
slots.

1.1.2 HF SIGNAL ELABORATION

This section is made by two cards

• ELNU Digital Signal Processing
• INAF HF Interface
The HF section can work, according to the requirements, either in single or double
channel configuration.
On the transmission side, ELNU card, by DSP, modulates the signal received from LFS
card and sends it to INAF card where it is converted to analogue signal and filtered in
order to be forwarded to HF power section. ELNU card provides a programmed squelch
function in order to protect the power section against the input signal overload.
INAF card, through the hybrid circuit can interface up to two 20 W amplifiers to have up
to 40 W on HF line.
On the receiver side, the signal coming from the RX filter is kept constant by the AGC,
controlled by the digital demodulator present in the ELNU card.
ELNU and INAF cards display, by LED’s on the front panels, TX and RX alarms and
manage relays contacts dedicated to remote indications.

1.1.3 HF POWER SECTION

This section is based on by:

• AMPL Power Amplifier
• INTX Transmission Interface
• INRX Reception Interface
PLC 1790/B can be equipped with up to two 20 W amplifiers. When only one amplifier
is equipped, the second INAF output is internal loaded and the sum of the signals in the
INTX card is by passed. In case that the PLC output is of 40 W, the second amplifier is
equipped, driven by the second INAF output, and on the INTX board the sum is done.
The HF power signals reach the Transmission filter. This filter is programmable by
soldering straps for all the PLC useful band, 40 ÷ 500 KHz at one KHz step, either in
single or double channel without changing any components.
Next, the signals will reach the HF hybrid , on the INRX board, and then the HF line.
On the reception way the signals incoming from the HF line meet the HF hybrid. The
reception branch of the hybrid is connected to the RX attenuator, which must be
programmed according to the HF line attenuation, and than to the RX filter.
The filter is programmable by soldering straps for all the PLC useful band, 40 ÷ 500
KHz at one KHz step. The output of the RX filter goes straight to the INAF input.

This card may be considered an optional of the equipment. By means the INSU card, the
operator has the capability from one end of the link to test and program completely the
remote equipment and enable the remote PLC to activate the HF equalization function.
The unit is managed by a PC with the appropriate SW.

1.1.5 PC INTERFACE

Basically every card equipped with the DSP has its own programming interface.
All those interface are connected to a common field connector. The unit interrogation is
made in polling mode.

1.4.4 UNIVERSAL CALL CONVERTER (CCUN) 474.415.026 J

1.4.4.1 INTRODUCTION
The following description makes reference to Fig 1-9, 1-10 and 1-11.
Since CCUN card is designed to manage two independent circuits, so that it can
interface both LFS’s on a double channel PLC, the description is exactly the same for
both circuit. The “x” figure in the reference takes the value 1 for circuit 1 and value 2 for
circuit 2.
In transmission, the unit performs the conversion of call criteria (hook-off and dialing)
into commands which activate the signaling circuit. In reception, complementary
operations are carried out. In addition the ring voltage (50 Vrms/45 Hz) for telephone
ringing is provided.
1.4.4.2 DESCRIPTION
CCUN board supports the operation of two telephone channels and it can be
programmed to operate as follows :
• hot line with central supply (BC)
• hot line with local supply BL)
• long line extension, telephone side (PLA-T)
• long line extension, exchange side (PLA-C)
Section points are available on the CCUN front panel; their purpose is to disconnect the
PLC equipment from the telephone and from the signaling.
The unit includes the following functional blocks:
A. MANAGEMENT LOGIC
B. RING CALL GENERATOR
C. RING CALL DETECTOR
D. RX CALL DETECTOR
A. MANAGEMENT LOGIC
According to the selected configuration, through the staips SZ4 and SZ8 , the
Management Logic handles criteria towards both exchange and telephone set.
B. RING CALL GENERATOR
This circuit is usually enabled only on PLA-T, BL and BC configurations. The call
generator supplies the call voltage ∼ 50 Vrms / 45 Hz for the telephone bell.
C. RING CALL DETECTOR
The circuit detects the alternate current which activates the telephone bell. When the user
hangs up the handset the signals IMAC1* and IMAC2* are issued and the management
logic disables the ring generator.
D. RX CALL DETECTOR
The circuits are used in BL and PLA-C configurations (SZ10 - SZ11) to detect the call
voltage, coming from a BL telephone or a telephone exchange.

Idle conditions
a) Ground absence at CCUx- 4W ( E criteria )
b) Ground absence at CCUx-3W ( M criteria )
c) Speech channel, LF side, closed on 600 ohm (a & b wires )
OPERATING CONDITIONS
TRANSMISSION CALL
IMPx* signal is generated when the hand set is hanged up and the following occurs:
• Transmission call issuing, ground criteria at pin CCUx-3W, for a time of about 4
seconds
• RL2 switched to 9-13 position, thus enabling the telephone connection to PLC
• Disabling of undesired potential reception calls by means of CA.EN signal which
switch off the ringing generator.
The call criteria runs only 4 seconds. If within this time frame, the other operator does
not answer, the caller can repeat the operation.
RECEPTION CALL
The reception call, pin CCUx-4W, is activated by a ground criteria for about 4 seconds.
The following events occur:
• A potential transmission call, if any , is blocked (No ground on pin CCUx-3W).
• RL1 switched to 4-8 and 9-13 positions, thus enabling the transit of 50 Vrms/45 Hz
call voltage to the telephone.
• The ringing generator (CA.EN signal) is enabled.
Two different operating conditions must be considered as to the situation existing when
the called operator hangs up the handset :
HOOK-OFF THE HANDSET WHILE THE CALL IS STILL IN PROGRESS
In this case the following occurs:
• IMACx* signal is generated thus stopping the ringing generator, in addition RL1 is
switched to positions 4-6 and 11-13.
• IMPx* signals are generated and RL2 is switched to position 9-13.
• In this condition the communication can start.
• HOOK-OFF THE HANDSET WHEN THE RINGING TONE IS NOT PRESENT.
• In this case the following occurs:
• IMPx* are generated thus blocking the ring generator, RL1 is switched to positions 4-6
and 11-13 and RL2 to position 9-13.
In this condition the communication can start.

Refer to Fig 1-10.
Idle conditions
a) absence of ground at CCUx-4W
b) absence of ground at CCUx-3W
c) speech channel enabled towards LF terminal
Operating conditions:
TRANSMISSION CALL
As the 50 Vrms ringing voltage, triggered by a BL telephone, is detected then the signal
RIVACx* is generated and the following occurs:
• TX call is issued at CCUx-3W (ground presence)
• RL2 is switched to position 11-13 thus closing the speech channel on 600 ohm.
These conditions last for the whole period associated with the ringing voltage
generation.
The calling operator hooks off the handset and waits for the answer of the called
operator.
RECEPTION CALL
As a reception call CCUx-4W is in progress, the following events occur :
• RL1 is switched to positions 4-8 and 9-13.
• The RING CALL GENERATOR is enabled by means of CA.EN outgoing signal.
In this condition the communication can be initiated.
In order to not be disturbed by the ringing tone, the called operator should hook off the
handset right after the ringing sound is off.

Operating conditions:
TRANSMISSION CALL (PLA-T ⇒ PLA-C)
As the operator hooks off the handset, IMPx* signals are generated and the following
occurs:
• RL2 switches to position 9-13, with a delay of 150 msec.
• The ringing generator is locked through CA.EN criteria
• Ground criteria on pin CCUx-3W
The operator can start to dial.
The dialing action is reflected by the absence of ground at pin CCUx-3W.
At the same time, relay RL2 switches to position 11-13 ; as the dialing is ended, RL2
switches to position 9-13.
RECEPTION CALL (PLA-C ⇒ PLA-T)
Ground presence at pin CCUx-4W causes the following events occur:
• Relay RL1 switched to 4-8 and 9-13 positions
• 50 Vrms ringing generator is enabled
The same considerations discussed under previous paragraph “ BC PRE-SETS “ apply as
to the different operating conditions existing when the called operator could hook off the
handset.
PLA-C PRE-SETS
Refer to Fig 1-11.

DTLC-1790B-E-NT-003-C Page 23 of 38

Operating conditions:
Transmission call (PLA-C ⇒ PLA-T)
The 50 Vrms ringing voltage, coming from the PAX is detected by the “ RING CALL
DETECTOR” which in turn, through the generation of RIVACx* issuis the CCUx-3W
criteria.
Reception call (PLA-T ⇒ PLA-C)
The seizing made by the PLA-C is recognized as a ground criteria at pin CCUx-4W.
The result is:
• block of potential transmission calls
• RL2 is switched to position 9-13 thus enabling the transit of the exchange tone to PLA-
T operator.
The PLA-T operator can dial the telephone number thus creating presence or absence of
ground at pin CCUx-3W. The result of this action is:
• RL2 is switched to position 11-13 during the dialing process. A 150 msec time-out is
initiated to keep the relay closed. During this phase RL1 is in idle condition.
• As the dialing is accomplished, RL2 returns to position 9-13 and the communication
may take place.
