MultiLane ATE HSIO Card Cage – Site Install

Overview

This document provides instructions for installing the MultiLane (ML) High Speed I/O (HSIO) option at the customer's site. The only additional site resource required by MultiLane is the Site Utility Air Supply. All other resources and connections are made between the MultiLane option and the existing V93000 tester cell.

This installation manual assumes that the MultiLane software and customer test programs are properly installed on the V93000 workstation. This manual covers the hardware installation.

System Connection Overview

The MultiLane High Speed I/O system connects to the Advantest V93000 tester cell. Key components include the ML Utility Box and the ML Card Cage (Twinning Frame).

Diagram Description (Figure 1: Multilane System Connection Overview): The diagram illustrates the system layout. Site Utility Air connects via an air cable to the ML Utility Box. The V93000 System Controller and power outlets (from CTH or STH) connect to the ML Utility Box. A Workstation connects to the ML Utility Box via an Ethernet cable. The ML Utility Box then connects to the ML Card Cage (Twinning Frame) using a combined cable bundle for air, power, and Ethernet. The ML Card Cage interfaces with the V93000 Tester Cell.

Image Description (Figure 2: Multilane System with cables between Utility Box and Testhead): This figure shows two photographic views of the physical setup, depicting the ML Utility Box and the Testhead connected by various cables.

Making System Connections

1. Connect "air input" air cable assembly:
   • Connect the air cable between the site utility air supply and the Utility box.
   • Reference: Site Utility Air [arrow] Air Input in Figure 3: Utility Box Inputs/Outputs.
2. Connect "V93000 power" cable:
   • Connect the power cable between the STH/CTH location and the Utility box power input.
   • For V93000 STH, refer to Figure 9 for power switched outlets.
   • For V93000 CTH, refer to Figure 8 for the power switched outlet.
   • Reference: STH/CTH Power [arrow] Power Input in Figure 3: Utility Box Inputs/Outputs.
3. Connect "Workstation Ethernet" cable:
   • Connect an Ethernet cable between the V93000 workstation and the Utility box LAN input.
   • Refer to the V93000 manual for specific Ethernet cable connection details.
   • Reference: V93000 Ethernet [arrow] LAN input in Figure 3: Utility Box Inputs/Outputs.
4. Connect "air output" air cable assembly:
   • Open the air door of the utility box. Feed the air tube into the air regulator output and out of the top of the utility box.
   • Reference: Air Cable from utility box [arrow] Air Supply Input in Figure 7: Twinning Frame Faceplate.
5. Connect "LAN outputs":
   • Connect two Ethernet cables between the utility box and the twinning frame.
   • Each Ethernet cable can plug into either LAN connection.
   • Reference: Utility Box LAN outputs [arrow] LAN Connections in Figure 7: Twinning Frame Faceplate.
6. Connect "Power output":
   • Connect the power cable between the utility box and the twinning frame.
   • Reference: Utility Box Power outputs [arrow] +12V Power Input in Figure 7: Twinning Frame Faceplate.
7. Tie wrap the cables going between the utility box and twinning frame (air supply, power cable, ethernet cables).

Diagram Description (Figure 3: Utility Box Inputs/Outputs): This diagram shows the ports on the utility box. Inputs include "Air Input", "Power Input", and "LAN Input". Outputs include "Air Output", "Power Output", and "LAN Output (Optional)".

Checking System Connections

1. Check system air:
   • Turn on utility box air. Locate the ballcock valve as shown in Figure 7: Twinning Frame Faceplate.
   • Using the air regulator inside the utility box, set the airflow to 3 CFM.
   • Listen for air exiting into the MultiLane twinning frame.
2. Check system power:
   • Turn on V93000 power. Verify the utility box power input LED is ON.
   • Manually turn on the twinning frame power using the toggle switch located on the utility box. Verify the utility box +12V power LED is ON.
   • The power toggle switch and power-on LED are illustrated in Figure 4: Utility Box Buttons and LED Indicators.
3. Check LAN connection:
   • Note the Ethernet IP addresses of each MultiLane instrument inside the card cage.
   • For each IP address, perform a PING command to the IP address and verify that a PING response is returned.
4. Run MultiLane loopback diagnostics.

Image Description (Figure 4: Utility Box Buttons and LED Indicators): This image shows the top panel of the Utility Box. It highlights the "Power ON" button, labeled "Power ON from Power Outlet to Utility Box", and the "+12V Power ON to Twinning Frame" indicator LED.

Note: Consult MultiLane for CFM requirements for customized instruments.

Detailed System Interconnects

Diagram Description (Figure 5: Multilane System Detailed Utility Box Interconnects): This diagram details the flow of resources. Site Utility Air connects to Air Controls, then to the ML Utility Box. STH/CTH AC PWR Outlet provides +12V Power to the ML Utility Box. A Workstation connects to the ML Utility Box via a Router. The ML Utility Box connects to the MultiLane Twinning frame (Face Plate) via a Cable Bundle containing Air, Power, and Ethernet. The Twinning Frame then connects to the Testhead.

Card Cage and Frame

Image Description (Figure 6: Multilane Card Cage (aka "Twinning Frame")): This image shows a person holding the MultiLane Card Cage, also referred to as the "Twinning Frame".

Image Description (Figure 7: Twinning Frame Faceplate): This image displays the rear faceplate of the Twinning Frame, showing various connectors for power, Ethernet, and air.

Advantest V93000 Power Outlets

Diagram Description (Figure 8: V93000 CTH power switched outlet): This diagram illustrates the power switched outlet for the Advantest V93000 CTH tester. It shows connections for mains power in and out, main breaker, pressure gauges, pressure governors, nitrogen input, ON/OFF unit cable, serial diagnostic link, cooling water in and out, high-speed optical link, handler/prober interface, compressed air in, and CIF cable to the cooling unit.

Image Description (Figure 9: V93000 STH power switched outlets): This image shows the interior of a V93000 STH tester, highlighting the "Mains power switched outlets" with multiple yellow-labeled power sockets.

Utility Box Site Location and Dimensions

Diagram Description (Figure 10: Multilane Utility Box Location): This diagram shows recommended site positions (Service Position A and Service Position B) for the Utility Box relative to the Compact Test Head and Prober. It indicates that the Multilane Utility Box should be located next to the WorkStation.

Diagram Description (Figure 11: Multilane Utility Box Dimensions (mm)): This figure provides detailed dimensional drawings of the Multilane Utility Box from front, side, and top views, with measurements indicated in millimeters.
