Section 6
Configuration
Introduction
This section details I/O block configuration. All configuration
is performed through a Harmony controller.
NOTE: The
Function Code Application Manual
contains I/O block configura-
tion examples.
Configuration Tools
The Harmony I/O system can be configured and tuned using
any configuration tools that support the I/O block function
codes. This includes, for example:
• Composer (1.0 and later).
• Conductor NT (2.0 and later).
• Conductor VMS (1.0 and later).
NOTE: Only Composer has utilities to define device labels.
Harmony Controller
The Harmony controller is responsible for downloading and
verifying the process configuration executed by an I/O block.
An I/O block performs its input and output processing based
on this process configuration.
Download
When an I/O block is first installed, it contains only a base
configuration. This base configuration allows the block to par-
ticipate in the device labeling process. During the actual label-
ing process, an I/O device definition function code (FC 221)
with a device label is added to the base configuration. Once the
label has been established, the Harmony controller can then
communicate with and download the appropriate configura-
tion to the block. Refer to Labels
