Annex Q (informative) — Worked examples
Three products taken from first sketch to claim, so that a first-time reader can see how the clauses fit together. The figures are illustrative; each example has a claim file in data/examples/ that eis claim accepts.
Q.1 A module: a two-channel video mixer
| Step | Decision | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 3U, 8 HP: a panel 128.5 mm high and no wider than 40.64 mm, made 40.34 mm; four Ø3.2 mm holes on the HP grid | PANEL-002, PANEL-006, PANEL-010, PANEL-011 |
| Board | 28 mm deep behind the panel, 9.25 mm clear of the top and bottom edges | PANEL-003, PANEL-012 |
| Power | Draws 0.12 A on +12 V, 0.06 A on −12 V, nothing on +5 V; uses no bus CV or gate, so the 10-pin header is enough | BUS-007, PWR-001 |
| Protection | Survives a reversed ribbon; every 0 V pin of the header is tied to the board's 0 V | BUS-009, GND-001 |
| Ports | IN A and IN B are MOD-VIDEO inputs, 100 kΩ; OUT and INV OUT drive through 75 Ω; MIX CV is MOD-CV claiming U5, 0 to +5 V | SIG-001, SIG-006, SIG-009, SIG-010, SIG-014 |
| Patch safety | Every input survives ±12 V; every output survives a short and stays within ±12 V | SIG-002, SIG-003, SIG-004 |
| Video paths | Publishes 45 MHz bandwidth and 12 ns delay for OUT (recommended) | 7.2 |
It owns no feature, so its claim line is EIS draft, module, and its claim file is claim-module-video-mixer.yaml. It dissipates at most 12 V × 0.12 A + 12 V × 0.06 A = 2.2 W (Annex O).
Q.2 A case: two rows with a built-in supply
The case of claim-enclosure.yaml has two 104 HP rows, each 55 mm deep behind the panel, a built-in supply of 4.0 A, 2.0 A, and 2.0 A, and a bus board that allows 1.5 A per header.
| Step | Decision | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Rows | Publishes 104 HP and 55 mm for each row, so a 28 mm module fits and a 60 mm one does not | ENC-001, PANEL-003 |
| Rails | Rails of the recommended section with M3 inserts; ships 6 mm M3 screws and says so | RAIL-003, RAIL-009, RAIL-011 |
| Supply | Publishes each rail's rating and ripple, all below 150 mV; survives a short; no reverse swing or overshoot | PWR-002, SUP-001 to SUP-007 |
| Bus board | Publishes its totals and the 1.5 A per-header limit; every header's 0 V runs to the supply's 0 V | PWR-002, BUS-012, GND-002 |
| Earth | Its 0 V is bonded to protective earth at the IEC inlet, and the documentation says so | GND-003 |
The person filling it then budgets each row (9.1). The example rows in row_budget_two_row.yaml carry 1.48 A on +12 V and 0.70 A on −12 V on the processing row, about 26 W of heat by Annex O, with one module whose −12 V figure is unpublished planned at half its +12 V figure.
Q.3 A video row: one reference, one DC rail
| Part | Claim | What it does in the row |
|---|---|---|
| Video reference generator | module (PWR-BUS-IN, VID-REF-IN, VID-REF-OUT), claim-module-video-reference-generator.yaml |
Its REF OUT, a COAX-OUT on BNC, drives the distributor's designated input |
| Video bus board | bus board (PWR-BUS-OUT, VID-REF-IN, VID-REF-PASSTHRU), claim-bus-board-video-reference.yaml |
Takes the generator's reference at REF IN and gives each module a buffered copy at a PASSTHRU |
| Video modules | module (PWR-BUS-IN, VID-REF-IN) |
Each takes the reference at a VID-REF-IN, a COAX-IN at the rear, on RCA, BNC, or SMA |
| DC entry panel | module (PWR-DC12-IN), claim-module-dc-entry.yaml |
Takes 12 V at a DC-DIN4 case entry and feeds modules at DC-BAR21 outlets, each protected |
| Cables | cable (VID-75), cable (PWR-DC12) |
75 Ω coax center to center; DC cables +V to +V |
The installer keeps one source per tree (ASM-007) and connects each dual-source module to one source (ASM-003). Every coaxial shell and the DC rail's −V are the modules' 0 V (V75-002, GND-001), so the reference, the picture, and the power share one 0 V; with the DC adapter floating and one earth bond at the case supply, there is no loop to show as hum bars (6.3).
