12 Triton Plus - Ported RS-422 Data - User Manual
Configuration
Power Up Mode
Switch SW 8 on the configuration switch defines the power up mode. The
TPS-D32P router provides two modes for powering up the system:
• Mode 1 switches all ports as disconnected.
• Mode 2 switches all ports according to the latest setting buffered in the
router’s processor system.
Settings for SW 8 are given in Table 6 . The default mode is Off .
Router Orientation
Crosspoint commands in control protocols are using source and destina-
tion when controlling routers. This must be mapped to ports in the router.
When controlling RS-422, every port is bi-directional and includes both a
source and a destination. The mapping is different in D1616 mode and
TPS-D32P mode.
Router Orientation in TPS-D32P Mode
By default, the router is destination oriented ( SW 9 DIP is OFF). A bi-direc-
tional connection is made between the two ports. If both ports are config-
ured as dynamic, the port referred as source will be used as a controller and
the port referred as destination will be used as a device.
When the router is source oriented ( SW 9 DIP is ON) the mapping is dif-
ferent. If both ports are configured as dynamic, the port referred as source
will be used as a device and the port referred as destination will be used as
a controller. This makes it possible to use a single-bus panel to select
one-of-several machines to control from a single location.
Router Orientation in D1616 Mode
In D1616 mode all ports are fixed, port 1-16 as controllers and port 17-32 as
devices. The control system will see the router as a 16x16 matrix. When the
router is destination oriented, destinations 1-16 are mapped to ports 17-32
while sources 1-16 are mapped to ports 1-16.
When the router is source oriented, destinations 1-16 are mapped to ports
1-16 while sources 1-16 are mapped to ports 1-16. As in TPS-D32P mode
this makes it possible to use a single-bus panel to select one-of-several
machines to control from a single location.
