4.2 Analog Rail Module in DCS 5000/AutoMax
Systems
This section describes how the Analog Rail module is used with
DCS 5000/AutoMax systems.
4.2.1 Configuring the Analog Rail Module with a
DCS 5000/AutoMax Remote I/O Head
The Analog Rail module is used in the Local Head mode when the
host is a DCS 5000/AutoMax Remote I/O Head. For AutoMax Version
3.0 and later, the Analog Rail module is configured using the
AutoMax Programming Executive. Refer to instruction manual JĆ3750
for more information. For DCS 5000 or AutoMax Version 2.1 or earlier,
the module is defined in the configuration task for the master rack
using the DCS 5000 or AutoMax Programming Executive software.
See instruction manual JĆ3649 for more information on the
configuration task.
For DCS 5000 or AutoMax Version 2.1 or earlier, use the RIODEF
statement to define each channel on the Analog Rail module as a
separate register. Note that in addition to defining each channel as a
register, you can also define the overĆrange and underĆrange bits for
each channel separately. These bits can also be defined using the
RIODEF statement. Use the following format for the RIODEF
statement:
nnnnn RIODEF name[MASTER_SLOT=m, DROP=d, SLOT=s, REGISTER=r, BIT=b]
where:
nnnnn Ć Configuration task line number; range 1Ć32767.
name Ć Symbolic name of channel, ending with % (integer) for
registers, @ (booleans) for bits.
m Ć Slot in rack containing DCS 5000/AutoMax master remote
I/O module; range 0Ć15.
d Ć Drop number of DCS 5000/AutoMax Remote I/O Head;
range 1Ć7.
s Ć Communication port on the DCS 5000/AutoMax Remote
I/O Head to which the Analog Rail module or Local I/O
Head is connected; range 0Ć3.
r Ć Register number; range 0Ć3.
b Ć Optional field defining the bit position within the register
number; range 0Ć15.
4.2.2 Configuring the Analog Rail Module with a Power
Module Interface Processor Host
The Analog Rail module is used in the Rail mode when the host is a
Power Module Interface (PMI) Processor. Beginning with AutoMax
Version 3.3, the Analog Rail module is configured using the AutoMax
Programming Executive. Refer to instruction manual J2Ć3045 for
more information.
