Selection Guidelines
-
When to choose:
-
Advanced troubleshooting requiring processor-level debug access
-
Firmware development and validation
-
Root-cause analysis of software faults
-
System performance analysis
-
-
When to choose XDIAG instead: For standard system health monitoring without debug capabilities.
-
Debug Connection: Use JTAG header for processor-level debugging; Ethernet/RS-232 for log access and monitoring.
-
Security: Dedicated debug ports should be disconnected during normal plant operation to prevent unauthorized access.
-
Compatibility: Fits all Mark VIe VME64x racks. Requires ControlST v7.0 or higher.
Operational Precautions
-
Security: Disconnect debug ports during normal operation—prevents unauthorized system access.
-
JTAG Handling: Use ESD-safe tools and procedures when connecting to JTAG header.
-
Event Log: Access via debug Ethernet port—do not connect to plant network.
-
Instruction Trace: Use sparingly—trace capture can impact processor performance.
-
Hot-Swap: Remove/insert slowly under power.
-
Spare Stock: Maintain 1 spare per 10–15 racks (engineering use only).
-
ESD: Handle by edges with grounded wrist strap.
-
Storage: Anti-static bag at –40 to +85 °C.
