High Country Tek emc-3L - Manual (Page 12)

The Programming Tool's main screen shown here is called the Project screen. Every project consists of
components. A component can be a physical DVC710 module and a number of DVC expansion modules.
Additionally, software components such as the Always code icon wherein you program critical system functions
and several logic sequence icons wherein you program the normal operations of your system. At a minimum
and by default, a DVC710 (Master) module and an “Always” bubble icon must be defined. As your system
grows you add additional physical and programming components by right clicking your mouse on the Project
screen and selecting the component type you wish to add. Once selected from the pop menu, the component
will be added to the project as another icon. As a result, the Project screen contains all of the components, in
the form of movable icons, for the creation of your system application. Double clicking a component icon will
allow you to program or configure it. The next section lists the component types.
Note: If you wish to have another DVC710 module be the master controller of a portion of your system then
another Project needs to be created wherein that DVC710 and the components it controls are programmed.
Adding a DVC710 to DVC710 module to each project and configuring the messages to be sent back and forth
can enable communication between multiple DVC710 projects. The programmer may also choose to use J1939
communications between the DVC710’s allowing more messages between the two modules to be configured.
Debugging your application is generally done with the assistance of the PC based DVC Program Loader
Monitor. This software supports a Virtual Display allowing your application to display variable values and where
the code is executing as well as showing you the status of the various inputs and outputs of your system.

1.9 Expansion Modules
As your system control needs grow, the DVC7xx family is designed to meet your needs easily and cost
effectively. Future additions to the DVC7xx family are coming soon.
All of the following icons are accessible by right clicking on the Project screen. Double click the icons on the
Project screen to open up the component specific programming menus. Right mouse click an icon to delete it.
DVC to DVC – Enables communication between multiple DVC710s.
