FEC_ FCXX_ HE12 Version 1.2 as of 03.07.2000
times ranging from 4.58 ms to (theoretically)
several years can be measured.
Extension interface/remote expansion
The FEC module has an extension interface via
which the FEC (not FC34) module can be con-
nected as a remote expansion or another seri-
al device with max. 115 Kbaud can be actua-
ted.
In order to connect an FEC as a remote expan-
sion you require an FEC KSD4 cable. The remo-
te expansion is configured and actuated using
the provided program library. The module on
which the remote function is software-activa-
ted acts as a master station and contains the
control program. The master station has read/
write access to the inputs and outputs and the
RUN/STOP switch on the remote and slave sta-
tions. The slave station cannot have its own
control program.
Since both stations are connected via a TTL
interface, this may only be implemented using
an original FEC KSD4 cable (max. 30 cm). If the
cable is any longer, reliable operation of the
remote connection is no longer guaranteed. If
strong EMC radiation is present, both of the
connected stations should be installed in a
