LCB

Lower Control Board, pronounced as 3 letters. Also variously called the Controller or Positioner, this is the box inside the mobile unit, which has connections for power, the dish, and a host computer. It receives its instructions from the host computer, data (compass, tilt, and GPS) from the UCB, and sends commands to the UCB to move the dish.

Original Datastorm LCBs are referred to as D1 and the second generation is known as D2.
