The remote link unit: A demonstration of operational performance. Part 3: Design manual, volume 1

This document is a design manual for the Remote Link Unit Demonstration System (RLUDS). The Remote Link Unit (RLU) is a new design concept for remote terminals. This document contains detailed design information on the RLUDS. The RLUDS described in this design manual is an operational hardware breadboard prototype that performs most of the important RLU functions. This effort has demonstrated the feasibility of implementation of the Link Module (LM), the Interface Configuration Adapter (ICA), the Electronic Nameplate (NP) and the Interface between the Link Module and the Link Manager. The Link Manager (LMG) was simulated with a PDP-11 computer. The extent of RLU implementation encompassed by the demonstration unit is illustrated. The configuration of the RLUDS is presented.
