1.11 Projects
A Project contains all of the information about your system in a form that allows you to specify and change your
system’s hardware and software components over time. The Programming Tool File menu allows you to save
your project (“projectname.DVC”) into a directory of your choosing and to reopen a previously saved project.
When your project is compiled (by selecting “Make”) four files are created for the project. These files have the
.DVC, .BAK, .inf, .MEM and .PGM file extensions.
.DVC
is the project file that contains the program text and input/output configuration data
.BAK is the project backup file of the .DVC file
.MEM is the memory image describing the system inputs and outputs configurations
.PGM is the DVC710 program file in a loadable format
1.12 Input Output Configuring
The DVC710 and the DVC expansion modules are all configurable using the Programming Tool’s graphical
displays. Each module’s input and output pin’s characteristics (sensor voltage range, valve coil currents, etc.)
as well as display configuration can be specified. Once the values are specified, the DVC710 BIOS will read or
write to the inputs and outputs or modules as specified.
1.13 Input Output Variables and Programming
The DVC710 execution environment allocates a memory area for each configurable Input and Output for every
module in the system. This includes the expansion modules if they are used. The expansion modules send
