Figure 10-9 shows a block diagram of the major electronic components of the Model GFC 7000TA.   

The core of the analyzer is a microcomputer/central processing unit (CPU) that controls various internal 
processes, interprets data, makes calculations, and reports results using specialized firmware developed 
by Teledyne Instruments.  It communicates with the user as well as receives data from and issues 
commands to a variety of peripheral devices via a separate printed circuit assembly called the Mother 
Board.   

The mother board, directly mounted to the analyzer’s inside rear panel, collects data, performs signal 
conditioning duties and routs incoming and outgoing signals between the CPU and the analyzer’s other 
major components.   

Data is generated by a gas-filter-correlation optical bench which outputs an analog signal corresponding 
to the concentration of CO

2

 in the sample gas.  This analog signal is transformed into two, pre-amplified, 

DC voltages (CO2 MEAS and CO2 REF) by a synchronous demodulator printed circuit assembly.  CO2 
MEAS

 and CO2 REF are converted into digital data by a unipolar, analog-to-digital converter, located on 

the mother board. 

A variety of sensors report the physical and operational status of the analyzer’s major components, again 
through the signal processing capabilities of the mother board.  These status reports are used as data for 
the CO

2

 concentration calculation and as trigger events for certain control commands issued by the CPU.  

They are stored in memory by the CPU and in most cases can be viewed but the user via the front panel 
display. 

The CPU communicates with the user and the outside world in a variety of manners:  

  Through the analyzer’s touchscreen and LCD display over a clocked, digital, serial I/O bus (using a 

protocol called I

2

C) 

  RS 232 & RS485 Serial I/O channels via Ethernet, Modbus

®

, Apicom or a terminal emulation program  

  Various DCV and DCA analog outputs, and  
  Several sets of Digital I/O channels. 

Finally, the CPU issues commands via a series of relays and switches (also over the I

2

C bus) located on 

a separate printed circuit assembly to control the function of key electromechanical devices such as 
heaters, motors and valves.
