Configure the QDC Module's I/O
Your QDC module needs to know the characteristics of your ram (screw)
sensors. In this chapter, we describe how you determine these
characteristics and download them to the QDC module. Topics include:
signal ranges from pressure, position, and RPM sensors
minimum and maximum sensor signals corresponding to
minimum and maximum pressures, positions, and RPM
alarm values and travel limits
We describe how to configure the QDC module in these sections:
select module parameters and I/O ranges
determine initial sensor configuration values
download configuration values to the QDC module
use the set-output operation to move the ram (screw)
complete your sensor configuration
use optional sensor configurations
Important: You must properly configure the QDC module using
procedures in this chapter before attempting further configurations.
Important: If you have not already done so, install Pro-Set 600 software.
The procedures in this and the next several chapters assume that you have.
You select module parameters and I/O ranges by setting configuration bits
in control words. First, determine and write down correct settings using
Worksheet 3-A through Worksheet 3-C as follows:
