Control Description
Introduction
Chapter 3 contains a general description of the 1395 Discrete Adapter
Board program. This description is intended to provide sufficient
background information to support other procedures in this manual, and to
help you to:
S Understand how to configure the board.
S Understand how to interface the board with discrete I/O.
S Understand how to configure the Analog I/O for any application.
Parameter Overview
The Discrete Adapter Board contains two types of parameters,
Configurable and Set-Up. Configuration parameters (
Table 3.A
) control
and monitor the run-time operation of the 1395, while Set-Up parameters
(
Table 3.B
) program the Adapter Board functions. The Discrete Adapter
has 10 Configuration parameters and 22 Set-Up parameters. Programming
the Set-Up parameters is accomplished with the 1395 Programming
Terminal or through another intelligent device connected to the 1395 such
as a PLC. Reference the 1395 Installation & Maintenance Manual for an
explanation of programming techniques.
All adapter parameters are referenced by a unique 1395 system parameter
number. However, the parameter number is dependent on whether the
Adapter Board is connected to Port A or Port B of the 1395. The following
shows the parameter number ranges for Port A and Port B.
S Port A Configuration Parameters (400 – 499)
S Port A Set-Up Parameters (550 – 599)
S Port B Configuration Parameters (300 – 399)
S Port B Set-Up Parameters (500 – 549)
