•
FIX 98 Default Database - The database of the controller can be set to a predetermined
condition by entering a 98 into datapoint B000. This causes the entire database except for
the analog I/O calibration constants, the FCS wirelist, and some text strings to be set to the
default values.
It should be noted that any pre-loaded database configuration will
also be overwritten with the default values by FIX 98. See the tables in Section 5 for
the default values of each datapoint. After this operation, the controller returns to FIX 0
Suspend State.
•
FIX 99 F-CIM Modules - Requires a controller that has extended functionality. If a control
strategy is needed that can not be accomplished with FCS, then the F-CIM modules might
provide the solution. F-CIM provides soft-wiring capabilities just like FCS, but has addi-
tional modules and the module sequencing can be altered. Each module is a step and an
entire
F-CIM sequence can be 100 steps. There is a large library of modules and most of them
can be used many times. Creating a module sequence requires an understanding of the
F-CIM information presented in 53MC5000 Customization Guide.
•
FIXs 2-89 and 101-255 F-TRAN - Requires a controller that has extended functionality.
The F-TRAN programming language provides the ultimate 53MC5000 controller flexibility
to customize Control Strategies and displays. It can also be used to create custom
modules. Creating F-TRAN programs requires an understanding of the F-TRAN informa-
tion presented in 53MC5000 Customization Guide and a personal computer to load the
programs into the controller. The personal computer must have loaded and running one of
the application packages listed in Section 3.2.
•
FIXs 90-96 - Reserved.
•
FIX 100 - Must be implemented in custom EPROM (see Instruction Bulletin 53HC3300D,
Custom Program Interface, for information to create files to generate custom EPROMS for
MICRO-DCI products).
3.10 DATABASE
Basic operation, signal conditioning, and algorithm execution are controlled by the contents of the
database memory, which can be configured by the user. For convenience, the database memory is
mapped as individual datapoint locations rather than raw memory addresses. There are six data-
point types: L, B, C, H, A, and F. Each datapoint type has a different data format, e.g., L type
datapoints are single bit (0 or 1) logical switches, H type datapoints are high precision floating point
numbers, A type datapoints are text strings, etc. The datapoint types are defined in Section 5.2. As
a further aid to database configuration, datapoints dedicated to specific functions, e.g., analog inputs,
etc., are clustered into groups or modules. These modules are not the same as those defined for
FCS and F-CIM wirelist generation, but identify broader functional areas of the controller. All of the
datapoints are defined by module in Section 5 and listed by type in Appendix D. The information
stored in the database memory is protected by a lithium battery and power loss detection circuitry.
This permits power to be removed and restored to the unit without degrading the memory contents.
