Page 46: Theory Of Operation
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Theory of Operation Systems Overview The 250cx Series system is made up of front-end and back-end PWAs, system power supply, and recorder module. The main PWA forms the heart of the monitor control functions. This PWA along with the Communications PWA form the back end of the monitor.
Page 47 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Revision C 250cx Series Maternal/Fetal Monitor 2-19 2036947-001...
Page 48 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Digital System Processor (DSP) Display PWA The DSP Display PWA consists of two independent functioning modules: the DSP and the Display interface. The DSP processes analog and digital data from the front- end modules and interfaces to the main processor. The ECG and ultrasound analog information is processed and heart rates are output to the main board via a shared memory.
Page 49 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Revision C 250cx Series Maternal/Fetal Monitor 2-21 2036947-001...
Page 50 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Main Board PWA The Main Board makes up the central processing unit for the 250cx Series Fetal Monitor. The Main Board accepts simultaneously processed parameters directly from four separate modules. The minimum configuration monitor has only the DSP board as an input module.
Page 51 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation the internal SpO cable that in turn connects to the SpO Carrier PWA. The MSpO connector PWA keeps the sensitive analog SpO signals shielded on the inner layers of the board. R1 and R2 are 0 Ohm resistors that are used to provide a means of disconnecting the shorts between pins 4 and 9 and pins 8 and 11 if needed.
Page 52 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation digitized and sent over the barrier via an opto coupler where it is routed similarly to the FECG analog signal. The uterine pressure front-end processes the pressure signals from the external TOCO or IUP sensor (uses same inputs) by amplifying and filtering the inputs and converts the signals via serial analog to digital converter.
Page 53 Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation FECG signals as well as the MECG mode lines. The MECG analog signals are routed separately from the front panel to the MECG daughter PWA. The MSpO input signals enter the SpO carrier PWA directly. Video Decoder PWA The decoder PWA interfaces between the DSP/Display PWA and the LCD panel.
