DS = Driver Station (old Operator Interface OI) DSC = Digital Side Car MDC = Mobile Device Controller, the cRIO (the old Robot Controller); Custom version for FIRST, has 2 eight channel analaog input modules (NI9201 provides isolated 5V power to PWM-like connectors. Enables source for 5V power and reduces noise on analog channels. Use channel 8 to minotor battery voltage on robot toreport back to DS (Driver Station), 2 thirty-wo channel Digital Input/Output modules N19472 eight channel relay to supply 1 amp/channel at 12V. Drives pneumatics solenoids directly w/o need for separate relay)., and eight channel relay module (for pneumatics solenoids). PD = Power Distribution Board (combines the various circuit breakers used previously)
