IN A MODULE FOR PRINTED ASSEMBLIES IN A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM AN APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY PUTTING THE MEANS ON PRINTED BOARD ASSEMBLIES NEWLY INSERTED INTO THE MODULE INTO OPERATION

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for, in a printed board assembly module (1), which has room for a predetermined number of printed board assemblies having different types of controlled auxiliary means serving traffic-carrying means in a telecommunication system, automatically putting the auxiliary means on a printed board assembly newly inserted into an arbitrary place (KKP1-KKPn) within the module (1) into operation. Each printed board assembly is provided with a single type of auxiliary means, and the telecommunication system comprises a number of control logic units (SLU1-SLUm) corresponding to the number of different types of auxiliary means, for controlling the respective type of auxiliary means. In accordance with the invention, each printed board assembly is provided with an identifying unit for identifying the control logic unit which is to control the type of auxiliary means on the board in question. There is furthermore provided a scanning device (2) adapted for continuously scanning the board places (KKP1-KKPn) and on discovering a newly inserted printed board assembly for transferring information about its geographic position in the module (1) to the control logic unit identified by the identifying unit on the board, subsequent to which said control logic unit handles the control of the auxiliary means on the newly inserted board.
