Definitions
- the present invention relates to an indicator circuit for digital signal cross-connect (DSX) bays, and, more particularly, to an indicator circuit for indicating to a technician in which bay to find a flashing tracer lamp indicator.
- DSX digital signal cross-connect
- a digital cross-connect system provides a location for interconnecting two digital transmission paths.
- the apparatus for a DSX is located in one or more frames, generally referred to as bays, usually in a telephone central office.
- the DSX apparatus also provides jack access to the transmission paths to trace a transmission path through the DSX.
- DSX jacks are well known and typically include a plurality of bores sized for receiving plugs.
- the jacks are typically electrically connected to digital transmission lines, and are also electrically connected to a plurality of wire termination members used to cross-connect the jacks. By inserting plugs within the bores of the jacks, signals transmitted through the jacks can be traced as is well known.
- a technician wants to know what a particular piece of equipment is coupled to through the DSX, the technician would insert a plug into a monitor bore of the jack coupled to that particular piece of equipment and look for a flashing light located on a second jack which is coupled to an end piece of equipment, i.e., the cross-connected equipment.
- This allows the technician to trace the transmission path through the DSX and determine what equipments are coupled together.
- Each tracer lamp is located on a particular shelf in a particular row of a particular bay. There are generally several bays in any communications office. Typically, the tracer lamp only flashes for about 45 seconds. In a small central office this may be enough time to give the technician to find the other end of the circuit.
- an intrusive technique i.e., serial connection
- a relative indicator that does not require its own power supply.
- a relative indicator that utilizes a non-intrusive method of detecting current change in a bay.
- a relative indicator that reduces the overall effort and amount of wiring to be performed during installation.
- a monitor circuit for indicating whether a digital signal cross-connect bay has a cross- connect jack that cross-connects equipment being tested.
- the circuit includes a sensor, a comparator, an indicator and a linear filter.
- the sensor has an input operatively coupled to a steady-state DC current carrying wire and detects a change in current flowing in the wire and generates an output signal at its output upon detection of a change.
- the comparator has an input operatively coupled to the output of the sensor and the comparator generates an output signal if the output of the sensor is above a predetermined level.
- the indicator is operatively coupled to the output of the comparator and the linear filter is coupled to a power supply that also supplies power to the cross-connect bay for powering the monitor circuit.
- the comparator sends a signal to the indicator if the sensor detects a current change in the power feed wire of the bay, causing the indicator to generate an indication.
- a monitor circuit for indicating whether a digital signal cross-connect bay has a cross- connect jack that cross-connects equipment being tested.
- the circuit includes a comparator, an indicator and a linear filter.
- the comparator receives a signal output by a sensor that senses a change in current in a power feed wire of the bay.
- the indicator is operatively coupled to an output of the comparator and the linear filter is coupled to a power supply that also supplies power to the cross-connect bay for powering the monitor circuit.
- the comparator sends a signal to the indicator if the sensor detects a current change in the power feed wire of the bay causing the indicator to generate an indication.
- a monitor circuit for indicating whether a digital signal cross-connect bay has a cross- connect jack that cross-connects equipment being tested.
- the circuit includes a balanced amplifier, a comparator and an indicator.
- the balanced amplifier receives a signal output by a sensor that senses a change in current in a power feed wire of the bay.
- the comparator is operatively coupled to an output of the balanced amplifier and the indicator is operatively coupled to an output of the comparator.
- the comparator sends a signal to the indicator if the sensor detects a current change in the power feed wire of the bay causing the indicator to generate an indication.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sensor device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an induction coil connection according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3a-d are front, top, left side and right side views, respectively, of the sensor device shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the circuitry inside the sensor device and induction coil shown in FIGs. 1 and 2 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGs. 5a, b are detailed circuit diagrams of the block diagram shown in FIG. 4.
- the sensor device of the present invention is designed to be an accessory device used to expedite cross-connect tasks within a central office environment.
- DSX communication systems within a central office consist of a number of DSX bays all having multiple DSX jacks therein cross-connecting equipment.
- a technician may be tracing a transmission path connecting bays that are remote from one another.
- the bays may be in separate rooms.
- the sensor device is used to indicate the particular bay in which the engaged tracer circuit is located.
- the sensor device of the present invention can be used to indicate the particular shelf in a bay in which the engaged tracer circuit is located.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sensor device 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the sensor device is used to indicate the particular bay in which the engaged tracer circuit is located.
- the sensor can be used to monitor any wire carrying a steady-state DC current.
- tracer wires, cable powering a shelf in a bay, cable powering an entire bay and multiple cables powering multiple bays can all be monitored by one or more sensor device according to the present invention.
- the device 10 is preferably a stand-alone device that mounts on the top of a DSX bay via mounting plate 12..
- An indicator 14 such as an LED or lamp is mounted on the device 10 and provides a large, bright, easily observable, visual indication whenever an individual jack tracer lamp is activated on a DSX bay. This allows a technician to identify the far end bay so that a scan can be performed to identify the specific jack tracer lamp that has been activated.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an induction coil connection according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As will be described in greater detail hereinafter, the induction coil 20 is coupled to the sensor device 10 by wires 22, 24.
- the induction coil 20 encircles the main -48 VDC power input conductor 26 feeding the bay fuse panel (not shown) although, as previously mentioned, any steady-state DC carrying wire can be monitored.
- the induction coil 20 is a current transformer.
- the coil 20 preferably shall have a sensitivity of ranging from DC to 5 AC Amperes and a maximum output voltage at 5 Amperes ranging from about 0.333 volts to about 0.666 volts. If the maximum output voltage of the coil is selected near the maximum of the range, then a less sensitive amplifier stage as will be described can be used thereby reducing the device's sensitivity to input anomalies.
- FIGs. 3a-d are front, top, left side and right side views, respectively, of the sensor device 10 shown in FIG. 1
- a sensor connector 30 to which the induction coil 20 of FIG. 2 is coupled to the device 10 and at the opposite end of the device 10 is a power connector 32 as will be described hereinafter.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the circuitry inside the sensor device 10 and induction coil 20 shown in FIGs. 1 and 2 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the sensor device 10 includes an amplifier 40, a comparator 42, a timer 44, a flasher circuit 46, an external indicator 48, and a power supply 50.
- the induction coil 20 is placed around a steady-state DC carrying wire such as a single -48 V DC power feed wire to the bay being monitored by the sensor device and monitors changes in current. Since the current being monitored is DC, the nominal output of the induction coil 20 will be null. Instantaneous changes in the input current of the bay being monitored resulting from a trace ending in the bay cause directional voltage impulses to be generated and transmitted to the sensor device 10 over wires 22, 24.
- the input amplifier block 40 is preferably a balanced, front-end, high-gain, low noise, two-stage operational amplifier. Its input is biased at about 2.5 V DC through a standard voltage follower circuit (not shown).
- FIGS. 5a, b show a detailed diagram of the amplifier circuitry as well as all the other circuitry of the sensor 10.
- the output of the amplifier block 40 is sent to the comparator block 42.
- the comparator block 42 is a dual comparator integrated circuit.
- the compurgator block 42 has two separate comparators: the first detecting the levels associated with a "jack in” condition and the second detecting the levels associated with a "jack out” condition.
- a "jack in” condition refers to an active trace ending in the bay being monitored.
- a “jack out” condition refers to a deactivation of the trace.
- the outputs of the comparator block 42 are sent to the timer block 44.
- the timer block 44 is preferably a model TL555C timer available from Texas Instruments configured as a non-retriggerable monostable multivibrator. Upon the detection of a "jack in” condition from the comparator block 42, the output of the monostable multivibrator fires and the duration timer 49 remains triggered until a predetermined time period has passed, preferably 90 second, or until a "jack out” condition has been detected by the comparator block 42.
- the flasher circuit 46 is also preferably a TL555C timer, however, configured as an astable multivibrator and is controlled by the output of the timer block 44.
- the flasher circuit output toggles at a nominal 4 Hz rate and drives the external indicator 48.
- the external indicator 48 is preferably a lamp, and, more preferably, an LED.
- the external indicator 48 is provided as the primary output indicator of the sensor device 10. Upon detection of a "jack in” condition, the external indicator is caused to flash at about a 4 Hz rate for a period of 90 seconds. After the initial 90 seconds has passed, the indicator will stop flashing until the next detection of a "jack in” condition. The detection of a "jack out” condition disables the external indicator.
- the flasher circuit can be eliminated altogether if desired.
- both visual and audible may be used.
- the external indicator need not be located on the sensor device itself but may be located remotely therefrom such as at a central control panel.
- the external indicator may be a computing device coupled to the sensor device that is located remotely from the device.
- the computing device may be coupled to a display where a technician is provided the indication. Combinations of these external indicators may also be used depending on the installation of the sensor device.
- a sensor device 10 is mounted to each bay in a central office or other environment.
- the induction coil may encircle one or more tracer wires, one or more DC feeds or power feeds or one or more steady-state DC lines.
- the power supply circuit 50 is an adjustable linear filter. Its output is preferably set to about 5.0 VCD ⁇ 0.25 VDC.
- a particular advantage of the present invention is that the sensor device 10 is powered from the -48 VDC central office power source and thus does not require its own power source.
- External connections include a -48 VDC connection wire 52 and a return wire 54.
- a reverse blocking diode (not shown) is incorporated within the sensor device to prevent damage in case of a power lead reversal.
- the sensor device 10 checks for a change in current on the main or branch circuit -48 VDC power feed to the bay fuse panel caused by a trace on a far end bay and uses this change to activate the external indicator to better direct a technician to the correct bay.
- FIGs. 5a, b are detailed circuit diagrams of the block diagram shown in FIG. 4. Phantom boxes have been drawn around portions of the circuitry relating to the block diagram of FIG. 4 and have been so labeled.
