How to Develop I/O Programs:
This discussion may seem like a lot to absorb for unknown benefits. However, this short
introduction is needed to provide the user with the general I/O programming capabilities of the STC-2002.
Once this is known, the system user need only run (or setup) their process until specific needs become
apparent. With a specific need in mind, a perusal of the Event and State ID List (Table x5.3) will match
your need to one or more of the many possible solutions within the expansive repertoire of the STC-2002.
There has also been provided some example I/O programming segments with accompanying
explanations in section x5. These can be used to construct larger programs that fulfill the overall process
goal. Included with the STC-2002 is a CD containing communications programs that allow the
construction of I/O programs on a P.C. Writing I/O programs in this way is further enhanced as comments
can be added using a comma as a delimiter and not having to use line numbers. The Windows® program
running on the P.C. will strip the comma and all that follows on each line and add the line numbers as the
I/O program is downloaded into the STC-2002. I/O programs constructed on the STC-2002 may also be
uploaded to a P.C. using the same communication program. The following is an example of such a program
constructed on a P.C. and from the P.C. view (this example [w/ checksum of 41779] is repeated with an
explanation in a later chapter).
I73 #2 = S8,
Stopped Xtal bad sets relay 1 slot 2.
I228 C8, Begin Job/Film Event, clears relay 1 slot 2.
I79 #1 = O9, Source 1 shutter connects to relay 2 slot 2.
I81 #2 & O10, Sensor 2 shutter connects to relay 3 slot 2.
I221 S11, Setpoint thickness trigger sets relay 4 slot 2.
I228 C11, Begin Job/Film Event, clears relay 4 slot 2.
I0 T216, Input 1 slot 1 is start unconditional.
I0 T202,
I1 T200,
Input 2 slot 1 is stop.
I2 T217, Input 3 slot 1 is final thickness trigger input.
I3 T219, Input 4 slot 1 is zero substrate thickness trigger.
I68 O64, Input function key 1 to front panel LED 1.
