9.2 ACQINIT
ACQINIT allows to change the parameters of the I/O module box.
Exemplary configuration
1 Go to the DOS level at MCS100E. (
→ p. 46, §5.4.2).
2 Disable watchdogs (
→ p. 109, §7.8)
3 Set all I/O module boxes to the “inactive” mode.
For this purpose press each pin switch for approx. 1 sec (for the temperature controller:
Approx. 5 sec).
The green LEDs are now flashing 1*.
These boards are in the “not active” condition.
4 Press pin switch of the board that is to be configured once again.
Its green LED is now flashing 2*.
This board is now ready for configuration and all of the following actions have an effect
on just this very board.
Caution: Please observe that just one board may be configured. Thus, only one green
LED 2* may be flashing. All other green LEDs must be flashing 1*.
5 Enter via external keyboard:
ACQINIT /C2 /I5 <ENTER> (Note: Space preceding /)
The actual configuration of the board is presented.
With a temperature controller, e.g. the temperature setting is stated in the line: TCtrl :
185
To set the temperature to 100 °C, type: ACQINIT /C2 /I5 /T100 <ENTER>
“T100” sets the temperature to 100 °C and the values of the re-configured board are
presented.
To set a (new) board address , type: ACQINIT /C2 /I5 /A31 <ENTER>
“A31” sets the address to 31 and the values of the re-configured board are presented.
To enter a new remark, use the DOS command SET:
“SET ACQINIT=temperature controller for heated tube 1” <ENTER>
Upon ACQINIT /C2 /I5 /S <ENTER>, the text “temperature controller for heated tube 1”
is presented.
Note:
Parameters that have NOT been entered remain UNCHANGED. For boards that are not
used, standard values will be set automatically.
6 Press the pin switch of the configured temperature controller once again.
The green LED is now on, continuously
7 The board has its new configuration
8 Configure next board, if required
9 As soon as the last board is configured: Press the individual pin switches of the
remaining boards one after the other two times for 1 sec. each (temperature controller:
Approx. 5 sec).
Now, these green LEDs are also on, continuously.
Instrument damage caused by incorrect parameters.
All parameters were preset in the factory.
 Leave changes of the parameters to trained personnel.
