MDC-360C DEPOSITION CONTROLLER
COMPUTER INTERFACE 11-15
Instructs the controller to enter the incoming sensor setup parameters into
memory. A description of the sensor setup parameter list is given above.
23. Send Input setup (Code #22)
Instructs the controller to send the Input parameter list for Input #n. A description
of the Input parameter list is as follows:
Parameter Name Length (bytes) Allowable Range
Input # 1 (0-15)
Name 16 All ASCII Characters
Type 2 0 - 65535, least significant byte
first
I/O Card# 1 1-2
Input True Level 0 Bit 7 of Card# (0 = Low, 1=High)
Input Pin# 1 30-37
Total 21 bytes
The Type parameter defines whether the input is undefined, user defined, or
internal. 0=Undefined, 65,535=user defined. All other types are internal and are
created by the MDC for source pocket and sensor crystal position control.
When clearing an input you must set the type=0. When defining an input you
must set the type=65535 or FFh, ffH. Internal types should only be set by the
MDC.
Please note that bit 7 of the Input Card# byte represents the Input’s True level. If
bit 7 is set then the input is High level true. Or, if bit 7 is not set then the input is
Low level true.
Format: Header, Instruction=22, Length=1, Input #(0-15), Checksum
Example: To instruct the controller to send the I/O setup parameter list for I/O
#15 the computer would send:
Chr$(255)+Chr$(254)+Chr$(1)+Chr$(22)+Chr$(1)+Chr$(14)+Chr$(218)
24. Receive Input setup (Code #23)
Instructs the controller to enter the incoming Input parameters for Input #n into
memory. A description of the Input parameter list is given above.
Format: Header, Address, Instruction=23, Length=21,Input #(0-15),2 byte Type,
16 byte Name, 1 byte Card#, 1 byte Pin#, Checksum
25. Send Output setup (Code #24)
Instructs the controller to send the Output parameter list for Output #n. A
description of the Output parameter list is as follows:
