Two processor boards

By default, the core in Processor [1] performs the SUP and optional THP functions, while the core
in Processor [2] performs the DSP function.

Note:

If necessary, use the Reconfigure Processors option window to reconfigure the core functions
for existing two-processor systems.

Three processor boards

The core in Processor [1] performs the SUP function (and THP if the Hybrid Simulation option is
installed), and the core in Processor [2] performs the DSP function.

The core in Processor [3] performs the THP function (if that option is installed) or the hybrid
simulation (SIM) function (if that option is installed).

Dual-Core Processor

Although these boards occupy one slot, they contain two cores that perform different CPU functions:

Core 1 - performs SUP and THP functions.

Core 2 - performs the DSP function.

Note:

Controllers can only have one dual-core processor with no other processor boards.

Reconfigure Processor Functions

For controllers with the Time History Playback (THP) option and two processors, this option allows
you to change the way the processors are initialized.

Note:

This option will be grayed-out if your controller is not equipped for THP, or has only one or
three processors.

1. From the Options menu, click Reconfigure Processors.

The Reconfigure Processors window shows how your controller is currently configured.

2. If necessary, change the processor setting.

Default Setting: The Shared SUP/THP on 1 and DSP on 2 default setting is recommended for
configuring new controllers.
