Rockwell Automation 1395 Digital Reference Adapter for RTP Applications - Manual (Page 32)

Publication 1395-RTP-5.2 - September 1997
5-2 Start-Up Instructions
Source – Parameter which may be used as a source of data for output
to a sink.
Sink – Parameter which acts as an input of data from a source.
Linking – The process of connecting a Sink Parameter to a Source
Parameter.
Parameter Set-Up Description After hard wiring the I/O to the Digital Reference Adapter Board
terminals, parameters in the Drive must be set up using the Program
Terminal to allow for data flow between the Board and the Drive.
Each input terminal utilizes associated parameters. Set-up Parameters
(550 through 599 for Port A) are used to program the Adapter Board
functions. Configuration Parameters allow the Board to communicate
with the Drive and must be linked to a parameter in the Drive (refer to
description of configuration links in the Bulletin 1395 Installation and
Maintenance Manual). An example of linking the proper
Configuration Parameters for the Drive is detailed in Paragraph 5-7
entitled Configuration Links Set-up.
Each Set-up Parameter associated with a specific input/output is used
to define the device connected to that input/output. Typically, there is
more than one Set-up Parameter associated with the I/O. Analog
inputs for this Adapter Board require four parameters for scaling and
offset of the value.
Analog outputs for this board require two parameters for scaling and
offset of the value.
To use this board with the Bulletin 1395 Drive, the Configuration
Parameters must be linked to the proper parameter in the Drive.
These links will be set up by default for the RTP Unwind Drive
application for Port A installation of the Digital Reference Adapter
Board. This sets up the LINK files so that during run-time operation
the proper parameters are transferred to and from the Digital
Reference Adapter Board.
Example Start-Up Configuration
(Linking) Refer to sheet 3 of Drawing 144041-18 located in the RTP System
Binder. The Drawing shows the Reference Adapter Board mounted in
Port A along with the associated parameters required for each I/O
device used. The following is provided as the default for the board
and as an example of start-up configuration of the Board.
All external wiring to the Digital Reference Adapter Board will be
terminated at terminal block TB3 located on the bottom of the Drive.
Since the adapter is connected to Port A, the 400 series Configuration
Parameters are used to communicate information to/from the Drive.
