Regional Circulation L-Boxes
Regional Circulation boxes (LBOX) will provide Serial to Ethernet conversion electronics and power distribution control to each of the four Endeavour Ridge moorings (NE, NW, SW, and SE). The box is based on PC104+ stack computer modules and powered by Vicor supplies. With surge suppression handled by a DCP-90. The L-Box will be responsible for the serial data stream of each instrument (RDI ADCPs, Nortek ACMs and SBE CTDs) on a mooring and transferring the data to the Ethernet. It will also provide a means to control power to each instrument in case of an electrical current leak or failure of a specific instrument.
