Use the EDT–DAT function to enter parameters into your bit or integer
files.
Module Configuration General Information
The Module must be properly configured before any operations may
begin. The Module enters the configuration mode on power up, or
upon setting the configuration output word 0 mode bit (15) to 1.
When configuration mode is set, the Module stops command mode
operations (if applicable), sets the configuration mode flag in the
configuration mode input table (bit 15), and waits for the
configuration file to be transferred over the backplane from the SLC
Processor.
Configuration Error
If there is no configuration file present, or if it is invalid for any
reason, the configuration error input bit (13) in configuration mode
input word 0 is set. If the new configuration file is acceptable, it is
mirrored in the input image table and the error input bit (13) is set to
false (0).
Configuration mode output image table
In the Configuration Mode, the proper setup configuration is selected
to match the Module to the Stepper Translator. Module parameters are
defined by the configuration file which is resident in the SLC
Processor's memory.
Configuration mode is entered by setting bit 15 of output word 0. At
the same time that bit 15 is set, the required configuration data must
be transferred to the Module. No operating commands can be acted
IMPORTANT
The HHT has a default radix of binary for the bit file
(#B) and integer for the integer file (#N). Radices
cannot be changed.
IMPORTANT
The Module is ready to operate when the “Module
OK” bit (14) in configuration input word 0 is 1.
