DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION The CartriFile® 40 cartridge-loaded digital magnetic tape unit is used with small digital
computers, data terminals, and off-line data entry and readout stations. The unit contains
a four-cartridge tape transport, all necessary read/write electronics, and a power supply. Tri-Data 1000 series single-tape
cartridges are used as the recording medium. Each cartridge contains an endless-loop magnetic tape, with the photoreflective
load-point marker serving to indicate both the beginning and the end of the tape loop. The CartriFile 40 tape unit can
be loaded with one, two, three, or four cartridges in any slot or combination of slots.

CartriFile 40 tape units are available with interface electronics for all widely used minicomputers or with standard
interfacing for those who wish to build their own special interfaces. Details of the interface equipment supplied with
this CartriFile 40 tape unit are presented in the separate INTERFACE section in the front of this manual.

EQU IPM ENT The CartriFile 40 magnetic tape unit is supplied in a cabinet suitable for desk or table-top
DESCRIPTION mounting. Four single-cartridges, an a-c power cable, and one copy of the CartriFile
Instruction Manual are supplied with each unit. In addition, either the standard interface equipment or interfacing for a
specific type of computer is furnished, as requested. Brackets for mounting the cabinet into a 19-inch equipment rack
are also supplied.

The major assemblies of the CartriFile 40 tape unit are the tape transport, the electronics, the power supply, the front
panel, and the cartridges. Descriptions of these assemblies are given below. Details of operation are given in Section III.

OPERATION

INTRODUCTION The CartriFile 40 tape unit operates automatically under the control of a data processing
system. Under Automatic control, the data processing or controlling system may command
the CartriFile tape unit to Read, Write, or Load-Point Search its tapes. (Refer to Section I for limitations regarding
such commands.) Manual operations are limited to inserting and removing the tape cartridges.

CONTROLS AND The CartriFile 40 front panel contains five plastic indicator buttons which are lighted,
IN DI CA TO RS from behind by lamps mounted on the tape transport. The upper and lower (white) indicators
are lighted whenever the associated tape is "busy", i.e., in motion during a Read, Write, or Load-Point Search operation.
The center (red) indicator is lighted whenever power is applied to the CartriFile tape unit.

An a-c power switch is located behind the front panel below the cartridge slots on the transport. This switch is primarily

SECTION IV

THEORY OF OPERATION

GENERAL The CartriFile 40 tape unit consists essentially of a tape transport mechanism for driving
four magnetic tapes, tape motion control logic, Read/Write electronics, and power supplies.
In this section, the recording technique and the tape transport are discussed first, followed by circuit descriptions for all of
the circuit boards within the tape unit. Interface circuit boards are discussed in the separate INTERFACE section.

In general, the CartriFile 40 tape unit performs three basic operations: writing data, reading recorded data, and searching
for the Load Point marker. In a Write operation, after tape motion is initiated, input data bits in parallel form are converted
to serial form, phase-encoded, and recorded on the tape on two tracks. At the end of a record, tape motion is stopped
by command. In a Read operation, tape motion is initiated, and flux transitions on the tape are detected. Timing is
reconstructed and the data assembled bit by bit. There is also error detection. When a word is completely assembled in a
register, it is made available for strobing out in parallel form. Detection of the inter-record gap automatically stops tape
motion. When Load-Point searching, the selected tape is driven forward until a photoreflective marker attached to the tape
loop is sensed, generating a signal which stops tape motion.

RECORDING The recording technique used in the CartriFile 40 tape unit is the phase-encoded,
TECHN I au E non-return-to-zero type, which is self-clocking. Figure 4-1 shows the recording and playback
waveforms of a 16-bit data word. Data "ones" are recorded as positive transitions and "zeros" as negative transitions.
Note that there is always a transition at data times, and a half-cell transition occurs only if the next data cell hasthe
same data value. The half-cell transition is opposite to the next data cell value.

Information is recorded on the tape in serial-bit form at 900 bits per inch on two tracks, designated channel A and channel
B. The data word is broken into two half-words: the odd-numbered bits are recorded on channel A, the even-numbered
bits on channel B. The channels are independent of each other, except at the start of each word when both tracks are
made to record a "one". The detection of this .first positive transition is used as a "start" bit for timing purposes during
reading.

TAP E The Tape Transport consists of the capstan and drive motor, two pinchroller actuator
TRANSPORT assemblies, two actuator drivers, and Read/Write head assemblies, Write drivers, Read
preamplifiers, and Load Point sensing circuits. The electronics associated with the Tape Transport are located on three circuit
boards mounted to the transport frame. The pinchroller. is part of the cartridge itself and is mechanically coupled to the
pinchroller arm when the cartridge is inserted into the transport. A Protect/Enable switch for the tape and a cartridge-insert
switch for each cartridge are used for interlocking and status indications.

When power is applied to the tape unit, an a-c motor continuously drives the capstan (Figure 4-2). Each cartridge
contains a continuous-loop tape which passes in front of its pinchroller. The solenoid-actuated arm, engaged with the
pinchroller, pulls the pinchroller against the capstan, forcing the tape against the capstan. While in contact with the
capstan, the tape is driven at 10 inches per second. In this manner, the tape is pulled past a two-track magnetic head
assembly. (The same head is used for both Read and Write functions.)

CI RCU I T The electronic operation of the CartriFile 40 tape unit is described below under four major
OPERATION 'divisions: Power Supplies, Motion Control, Write Electronics, and Read Electronics. The
circuitry is contained primarily on six printed circuit boards in the card cage and two printed circuit boards mounted
on the transport. The transport frame also mounts the photosense circuit board and the tape motion indicator lamps.
The power supply chassis is located on the hinged rear panel. In tracing some of the functional operations, it is necessary
to follow signal paths on several of the schematics; the schematics carry the assembly numbers of the circuit boards and
are located in Section VI. The overall interconnection diagram is schematic 99005.

The logic circuits used throughout are TTL and DTL types. Logic operation is described in terms of Positive Logic, where
a high is +2.5 to +5 volts and a low is -0.5 to +0.5 volts. CartriFile mnemonics for the signals are listed in Table 4-1.
A bar over the mnemonic on a signal line indicates that the "true" level is low for that function. Integrated circuit gates
are shown as NAND gates on the schematics. References to logic sections of an integrated circuit package are made by
package number and output pin: for example, ML4-6 designates pin 6 of package ML4.

operations; load-point search operations; write/read start

command and status signals. The circuits themselves are
spread over several circuit boards in the card rack and on
the transport assembly.

Tape Motion is initiated by anyone of three commands:

LPSC (Load-Point Search), WSTC (Write Start), or RSTC
(Read Start). It is stopped by one of three signals:
LPA (Load-Point attained following a Load-Point Search
operation), WSPC (Write Stop command), or an internal
Stop command derived from the detection of an inter-record
gap during a Read operation.

LOAD-POINT SENSING

The Photosense Assembly (Figure 4-3) and the Photosense

circuit (schematic 10972) detect the presence of the
photoreflective Load Point marker on the tape as it
approaches the magnetic head. There are five identical
photo,...transistor amplifier circuits, one for each tape and
one (Q9, Q10) reference circuit used to control the lamp
voltage.

Each tape sensor circuit works as follows, using Q7,

Q8 as an example. When tape 1 is at Load Point,
photo-transistor Q8 is illuminated, making it conduct
more, thus raising the voltage at the base of Q7, an
emitter-follower. When the tape is not at Load Point,
Q8 conducts much less, making the output of Q7 go low.

Changes in temperature and lamp brightness will in turn

vary the lamp voltage accordingly through the /.I A 723
regulator located on the Actuator Driver board. R12 is
used to manually adjust the lamp voltage. Each tape
sensor circuit has its own potentiometer for adjusting
the output at PSN.

PINCHROLLER ACTUATOR DRIVER

Four actuator solenoid driver circuits (one per tape) are

located on the Actuator Driver Board (10974). The FWD
inputs are derived from the Motion Control boards.

The operation of the tape 1 driver circuit is as follows. Figure 4-3. Photosense Assembly

MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION CartriFile tape units were designed and built with care to provide long, trouble-free usage;
they have demonstrated remarkable reliability under varying conditions of service. To keep
the CartriFile tape unit operating efficiently, a program of periodic servicing is recommended.

This section is divided into five parts to help service the CartriFile tape unit with a minimum of effort: Daily Maintenance,
Yearly Maintenance, 3-Year Maintenance, Magnetic Head Maintenance, and Troubleshooting. As their headings imply,
Daily, Yearly, and 3-Year Maintenance contain those procedures which are to be performed at regular intervals. Magnetic
head maintenance is handled separately: the head assembly should be trouble-free for at least 2000 hours of operating
time; however, procedures for checking and aligning the heads and for checking head wear are included. Troubleshooting
information is presented in table form, listing possible fault conditions and what to investigate should a malfunction occur.

Table 5-1 is a check list keyed to the maintenance intervals, including the tools and test equipment required.
The maintenance time intervals are based on an operating time (tape in motion) of about 8 to 16 hours per week. If usage is
significantly higher, shorten the time intervals between servicing accordingly. When servicing the tape unit, perform all
of the procedures listed for that time interval and follow the sequence in which the procedures are given.

2. Moisten a cotton swab with solvent. Reach through
the cartridge slot and clean the visible surfaces of the head. 4. Snap the front panel in place.

YEARL Y The "yearly" maintenance procedures given below should be performed when the CartriFile
MAINTENANCE tape unit has accumUlated somewhere between 400 and 800 hours of operating time (tape
in motion). The procedures should be followed in the order given: this sequence provides an orderly and thoro~gh checkout

MAGNETIC HEAD The CartriFile 40 tape unit contains four read/write magnetic heads mounted as an assembly,
MAl NTENANCE with the heads capable of separate vertical and azimuth adjustment. The alignment of the heads
can be checked once a year following the electronics checkout and adjustment procedures. The heads should also be
checked for wear at about three years, in case replacement is required at that time.

either track. The amount of wear on the magnetic head is highly
dependent upon. the actual usage of the CartriFile tape
unit. "Average" life for a head is about 2000 hours,
roughly 2-1/2 to 3 years under "normal" usage. However,
a number of conditions can significantly alter head life.
New tapes, for example, are more abrasive than used
tapes and will wear down the head more quickly. Daily
usage over a span of 2 to 3 years may also vary widely.
As a result, it is recommended that head wear be checked
at the third yearly maintenance period. It mayor may
not be necessary to replace the head assembly at this
time.

TROUBLESHOOTING Table 5-2 contains information that will be useful in determining the nature of certain
CartriFile tape unit problems, particularly operator or minor hardware problems. If the
tape unit continues to exhibit abnormal operation, load the diagnostic program into the computer and note the unit's
operating characteristics and indications. Analysis of the diagnostic program printout should indicate the nature of
the fault conditions.
