INDEX POSITIONING
INPUT LINES
There are twelve
(12)
low active
TIL
input lines to DataTrak
8.
Ten
(10)
are standard and two
(2)
are user installable options.
Individual signal line characteristics are described below.
The DataTrak 8 Index Sensor adjustment allows precise posi·
tioning in relation to the read/write head gap.
The dynamic positional difference of the DataTrak 8 is within
± 500 us, which can be checked by using a Qume
CE
disk (P/N
50152-01).

Line
DataTrak 8 has three interface connectors. One connector
(P1/J1) is for data signals. A second connector (P5/J5) inter-
faces the
DC
power +
5V
and +
24V
sources. The third connec-
tor
(PO/JO) interfaces the AC power source. The interface con-
nections are shown on page
5.
SIGNAL INTERFACE
All lines in the signal interface are
TIL
compatible, active
(true) when low.
DataTrak 8 uses the 7438 driver as a line driver and 7414
schmitt
trigger inverter as a line receiver. The input
of
each
receiver is terminated in 150 ohms to
+
5V.
DR/VE SELECT
1-4
A low active level on this line enables communication between
the individual drive and the controller.
When two or more (up to
4)
drives are daisy chained, each drive
must have a unique DRIVE SELECT address. The DRIVE
SELECT address is controlled by jumpers
DS1
through
DS4.
When the two pads
of
jumper
DS1
are connected, the drive will
be activated by an active low signal on the DRIVE SELECT
number one line.
If
the
two
pads
of
jumper
DS2
are connected,
the drive will
be
active when DRIVE SELECT line number
two
is
low active. The same system applies
to
jumpers
DS3
and
DS4.
The figure following shows the recommended controllt3r inter-
face circuits.

NOTE
------..,
D/RECTION
Only one jumper can
be
connected
within a single drive. Each drive
within a daisy chain must have a
unique DRIVE SELECT number.
Direction (pin
34)
defines the direction of read/write head
movement when the
STEP
line is pulsed. A low level on this
line causes the Head Position Mechanism
to
move the
read/write head toward the center
of
the disk when
STEP
is
pulsed. With the Direction line at a high level, a pulse on the
STEP
line causes the Head Position Mechanism to move the
read/write head away from the center of the disk. DIRECTION
is changed by the trailing (positive going) portion
of
the step
pulse (see the timing diagram). The logic state
of
DIRECTION
can
be
changed
at
any time after the trailing (positive going)
edge
of
the
STEP
pulse, and to within 1 microsecond before
the trailing edge
of
a following
STEP
pulse. The logic state
of
DIRECTION cannot
be
changed during the positive going tran·
sition of
STEP,
or within the preceding 1 microsecond of the
positive going transition
of
STEP.
A low active level
on
this line will cause the read/write head to
be
moved one track. The direction of movement is controlled
by
the DIRECTION line.
