Monitored Guarded Output Modules

The fault LED states for monitored guarded output modules
are determined by the tags for points 1 to 16. If the points are
not tagged, the LEDs are disabled.

Shared Variables

All shared variable control relays, registers and floating point
registers are converted. This includes tag names and
descriptions.

Comm Protection, Initial Values and Final Values

The comm protection flag for all variables is set to “not
protected.”

The initial values for registers and floating point registers are
converted. Since shared control relays in PDS could not be
assigned an initial value, PDS2WIN sets their initial values
to off. All final values for control relays, registers and floating
point registers are set to off (or zero).

Shared Allocation

Control relay allocation is set to the larger of 2472 or the
actual number of control relays defined. The shared word
register and floating point register allocation are set to the
actual number of registers of each type.

Programs

A program named LIBRARY is created in W

INTERPRET

and

contains a copy of all of the function blocks found in the PDS
software. Each PDS program found is converted to a
W

INTERPRET

program with the original PDS program name

and contains a copy of each function block that was in the
original PDS program.

Since Peer to Peer and Continuous Control function blocks
are not converted by PDS2WIN if these function blocks are
found in the PDS source files, a message informs the user that
the function block was not converted, and the conversion
continues. All other function block types are converted and
will be in the program.
