Data Table Access Module
Overview
This chapter describes features and capabilities of the Data Table
Access Module.
Module Overview
The Data Table Access Module (Catalog Number 1747-DTAM-E) is
a plant floor device that allows you to access data file information,
change operating modes, monitor and clear processor faults, and
transfer memory with any SLC 500 family processor.
• Data can be monitored or modified in any SLC 500 family
processor.
• Ten Quick Recall Functions are provided to assign frequently
monitored and/or modified data file addresses to a simplified
function key sequence.
• Processor operating modes can be changed between Run mode
and Halt mode. (For SLC 5/03 processors, the keyswitch must be
in the REM position before the mode can be changed.)
• Processor faults can be viewed and cleared.
• Memory can be transferred between CPU RAM and CPU
EEPROM.
• Two operational modes are provided: Monitor and Modify.
These modes are enabled or disabled by a factory-installed
jumper or by a user-supplied security key switch.
• The Monitor Override feature allows you to modify data at
specified addresses while in the Monitor mode.
• The Auto Attach function initiates processor communications.
• Prompts can be displayed in six, user-selectable languages:
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese.
• Shorthand addressing provides easier access to default data files.
• The module can be used as a point-to-point interface to a SLC
family processor or as a network device on a DH485 Network.
• The module can be used as an operator interface to display
messages from SLC processors, such as the SLC 5/02 processor,
on a DH485 Network.
• The module is UL-Listed, CSA-Certified and meets NEMA
Type 12 and 13 enclosure applications.
Important: The DTAM module does not support the floating point,
string, and ASCII data values that can be used with
SLC 5/03 ™ OS301 and later processors.
