25-Seven Program Delay Manager
Version 2.3 Manual April 2013 59
Ports 3 and 4 (not shown) offer the same drop-down menus as Ports 1 and 2.
PDM provides four Livewire ports with five lines each of user-selected input and output
control.
•
Each port’s section contains a
Port Address
entry line. Type the address of a
Livewire device you want PDM to communicate with. Devices are typically
Element consoles with an Expert Monitor module, or Axia General Purpose
Input/Output Nodes.
•
Input
and
Output
selections for PDM Livewire GPIO are the same as for the
PDM’s Hardware GPIO. See page 27 for a complete list.
GPIO with Axia Element consoles
We have a recommended configuration for PDMs that are being used in Element stu-
dios. Use it, and PDM will follow the button labels already printed on the console.
Enter the channel number for that Element console. In the screen shot above, PDM
Port
Address 1
is set to talk with a console on channel
259
.
The screen example here shows our recommended GPIO settings for working with an
Element Delay section. They let operators control PDM by following the button labels
already printed on the Element console.
In1=Dump
Out1=DumpLamp
In2=Exit
Out2=ExitLamp
In3=Cough
Out3=CoughLamp
In4=Build
Out4=BuildLamp
In5=None
Out5=DumpReady
You also have to configure the console itself, so messages are properly sent to PDM.
You’ll need a computer connected to the Livewire network, and a browser.
