4.1.1 Configuring the AutoMate Processor for
Use with the Analog Rail Module
Configuration is the process of describing in software how the
hardware and software in the system are related. The Analog Rail
module is configured using the AutoMate Programming Executive
(APX) software, M/N 45C130 or 45C131. Select CONFIGURE
SYSTEM from the main menu to create the configuration.
Note that the Analog Rail module can also be configured using the
AutoMate Programming System (APS) software, M/N 45C134,
45C141, 45C142, or 45C143. Refer to instruction manual J2Ć3041 for
additional information.
The Analog Rail module is configured depending upon the mode in
which it is being used. See figures 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 for how
to configure the Analog Rail for use with AutoMate processors. The
sample configurations are shown as they appear on the APX screen.
Unless otherwise noted, all references to the AutoMate 20, 30, and
40 will also apply to the 20E, 30E and the 40E, respectively.
Analog Rail Module with AutoMate 20
(Local Head Mode or Rail Mode)
AutoMate 20 registers reserved for port configuration:
2734 Port 0 of AutoMate 20
2735 Port 1 of AutoMate 20
2736 Port 2 of AutoMate 20
2737 Port 3 of AutoMate 20
Local Head Mode
Enter the value 64XX for the register representing the port to which the Analog
Rail module is connected, where XX is a value from 00Ć14*. The XX value
represents the first register in a set of four contiguous registers that will be used
to store data for the port.
Rail Mode
Enter the value 16XX for the register representing the port to which the Analog
Rail module is connected, where XX is a value from 00Ć17*. The XX value
represents the register that will be used to multiplex data through the I/O port.
*Values are in octal notation.
