Module Configuration for All Terminator Series Analog Output Modules

When a Do-more CPU powers up and detects a new Terminator Analog Output module, or when a Do-more's Ethernet I/O Master is configured to use a T1H-EBC100 that has an analog output module, it will automatically create a new module configuration. Clicking the Edit Config button in the Module Configuration utility will open the following dialog where the default configuration can be changed.

The Module Configuration's Name will become a Device, which be used in instructions that target this I/O Module. Be careful to choose a meaningful and unique name. Module configuration Names follow Nickname Rules Nicknames can be 1 to 16 characters in length and consist of any combination of alphanumeric characters and underscores ('_', 'a-z', 'A-Z', 0-9), no spaces or punctuation marks are allowed, and must begin with a letter or an underscore..

The following options set the INITIAL state of the Module configuration. These initial state values will be written to the module when the Do-more system is powered ON, and each time the CPU changes modes (PROGRAM -to RUN and RUN -to- PROGRAM). These values can be changed at runtime by writing to the associated image register locations - which can be seen in the I/O Mapping section of the System Configuration.

Note: selections for modules that reside in the Ethernet I/O Slave bases will only be written at power-up, and on PROGRAM -to- RUN mode changes; they will NOT be written during RUN -to- PROGRAM mode changes.

Output Enable enables and disables all of the module's output channels.

If the Analog output module is a Voltage output model the next two options apply:

Output Range Type sets all of the module's output channels for Unipolar or Bipolar.

 

Output Range - Voltage sets all of the module's output channels for a 0-5V range or a 0-10V Range.

If the Analog output module is a Current output model the next option applies:

Output Range - Current sets all of the module's output channels for 0-20mA or 4-20mA.

Consult the Terminator I/O User Manual for more information on these configuration settings.
