SECTION 3
I/O MODULES VARIABLES
3-1 INTRODUCTION
1/0 modules that are built around the
Neuron 3150 microprocessor can only
support input and output variables, unlike
the analyzer modules which can also
support Bidirectional ones. Output variables
can be updated by the control module via
its menus, but not by a PC program using
the Echelon DDE server. The latter can
only change input variables.
This section describes 1/0 Module
variables. This description is taken from the
"CSV" files that are used. to build the
software for each NGA module, and where
conflicts exist, the "CSV' file takes
precedence. In this file the acronyms AIO,
ACAL and SCAL refer to the analog output/
three alarm module, the single analyzer
autocalibration module and the system
autocalibration module respectively.
These variables are defined in the analyzer
section and can be used in the 1/0 module:
CALSTAT PVACEMS
CONTROL PVU
GAS RNGHI
GENERALSTATE RNGLO
I_TIME SVCONT
IOHOLDCAL SVNAME
MAXRANGE TAG
MINRANGE
TIME_LEFT
OPSTATUS VALIDITY

Type Integer
Value range
0 NO operation;
1 Start an autocalibration cycle;
2 Start a manual calibration cycle
127 Abort present cycle.
Units None
Description
ACAL; SCAL only; a control variable for the autocal modules.
Usage
May be used to initiate a manual cycle as programmed, a full autocalibration cycle
or to abort a current cycle.
