PAC
Considerations PLC initialization can access both RDCI and GETN blocks. The only
difference between these blocks is the way each uses the battery backed up
memory (NVRAM – nonvolatile random access memory). The RDCI block
immediately writes directly to nonprotected NVRAM. The GETN block does
not automatically write to NVRAM. Changes made to GETN values will be
lost on drive power down unless a "save to NVRAM" procedure is executed
(function 994). GETN values are saved to "protected" NVRAM. A hardware
slide switch on the DSD board must be on to allow this save. See the DSD
manual for more information. VCD 703 drives do not have "protected"
NVRAM, so the execution of F994 would save all GETN values to
"nonprotected" NVRAM.
The PAC programmer will need to know how PLC initializations fit into the
overall handling of drive setup parameters in the PAC diagram. Just as the
PLC initialization table allows the PLC to access drive setup parameters
(function number values), the RDU initialization table allows an RDU access
to these functions. Figure 11 expands the Figure 9 example to show a remote
display (RDU) initialization table.
