ScreenWare2 Data Acquisition Engine
The ScreenWare2 Data Acquisition Engine (DAE) is a terminate and stay resident
(TSR) program. It is accessed by ScreenWare2 through a software interrupt. It is
responsible for exchanging data between the PC Link module and ScreenWare2
DAE can be used with ScreenWare2 version 3.x and later.
Configuration File Installation
If you are using ScreenWare2 version 3.10, place the file RELI.CNF in the
directory \SW2\DESIGN and rename it SW.CNF.
Creating the Application File
Before DAE is installed, the application file must be created. This is done by
setting up the data acquisition blocks in the ScreenWare2 logic editor. The
application file is created when the selections made in the application file editor
are saved.
Use the following method to access aregister in adrop on the AutoMax network.
Each register in the AutoMax network is one word in length and can be accessed
by register or by bit.
where:
PLC
The PLC number does not apply to the AutoMax network, but since it is
required for ScreenWare2, the default PLC number of one (1) is used. No
other PLC number will be accepted.
drop
Any number between 0 and 55 is an acceptable drop number. This
corresponds to the number of drops on the AutoMax network.
register
Any number between 0 and 63 is an acceptable register number. This
corresponds to the number of registers in adrop on the AutoMax
network.
bit (optional)
Any number between 0 and 16 is an acceptable bit number. This
corresponds to the number of bits in each register on the AutoMax
network.
