General Operation
The adapter has no microprocessor on board that scans or controls the
1746 backplane. The scanner board contains the I/O scanner
microprocessor and connects to the I/O backplane via the parallel cable
(1747-PCIC) and adapter module.
The control program running on the PC monitors and controls the 1746
I/O via the scanner’s dual port memory. All LED indicators on the adapter
are controlled by the scanner.
