Select the OK command button to apply these settings to the module. Then,
close the I/O Configuration dialog box.
The next step in the module's setup is to define the user defined data areas to
hold the status and read and write database areas. Edit the IEC103M.CFG file
now for the application to implement. Use any text editor to set the values in the
file. You must retain the file name, IEC103M.CFG.
The last step in the module setup is to add the ladder logic. If the example ladder
logic is used, adjust the ladder to fit the application. When the ladder example is
not used, copy the example ladder logic to your application and alter as
necessary.
The module is now set up and ready to be used with your application. Insert the
module in the rack and attach the serial communication cables. Download the
IEC103M.CFG file to the module. Download the new application to the controller
and place the processor in run mode. If all the configuration parameters are set
correctly and the module is attached to a network, the module's Application LED
(APP LED) should remain off and the backplane activity LED (BP ACT) should
blink very rapidly. Refer to the Troubleshooting section if you encounter errors.
Attach a computer or terminal to Debug/Configuration port on the module and
check the status of the module using the resident debugger in the module.
4.2 Module Data
All data related to the MVI46-103M module is stored in a user defined data files
and the module's M1 file. Files should be defined for each data type to be used
with the module. Additionally, a file should be defined to hold the module status
data. The status data should be copied from the M1 file and placed in the
assigned status file. Input (monitor) data should be copied from the user file to
the M1 file and output (command) data should be copied from the user files to
the M1 file.
4.3 Configuration File
The module requires a configuration file (IEC103M.CFG) to operate. This
configuration file configures the module's master drivers, sets up the databases
for the controlled devices and establishes a command list. Each parameter in the
file must be set carefully in order for the application to be implemented
successfully.
The configuration file contains at least the following seven sections with topic
header names enclosed in [ ] characters.:
[Backplane Configuration] Backplane transfer parameter section
[IEC-870-5-103 Master] General Configuration for driver
[IEC-870-5-103 Master Port 0] Configuration for first application port
