DCU Setup
About DCU setup
The MKS-X7700 and MKS-X2700 System Interface
Units can function as device control units (DCU) using the
GPI input/output ports, 9-pin serial port, or network port.
However, the system interface units (SIU) that can use the
DCU function is limited to SIU1 and SIU2 only.
The settings related to the DCU function of the SIU are
configured in the Engineering Setup >DCU menu.
To configure menu settings, select [DCU1] for SIU1 or
select [DCU2] for SIU2.
The DCU setup must be configured in the same way on
control panels (up to three units) that share a common SIU
(DCU function). After performing DCU setup on one
control panel, configure the other control panels with the
same setup.
Parallel Input Settings
The SIU parallel input ports are assigned with the
following priority sequence.
(1) When an external box is configured in the Engineering
Setup >Router/Tally >Router >External Box Assign
menu (7361.1), parallel inputs are assigned to the
external box inputs in order.
(2) When tally is configured in the Engineering Setup
>Router/Tally >Tally Enable menu (7364), parallel
inputs are assigned to tally inputs automatically.
Input ports that are not used after the configuration above
can be assigned as GPI input ports in the Engineering
Setup >DCU >Input Config menu (7351).
GPI input is also supported via a network. The GPI input
port settings are the same as for parallel input ports.
For details, see “GPI input via a network” (page 477).
