PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION
Note 1:
It is also possible to actuate certain outputs for testing, as explained in the reference manual.
However, the “Display/code” values in the tables herein, refer only to the displays used to view
outputs/inputs.
Note 2:
The outputs and inputs available for viewing on the display include some (but not all) allied
interface signals as well as signals for many other functions. See the reference manual for a listing of all
outputs and inputs that can be monitored during operation.
Note 3:
Almost all allied interface outputs and inputs are passed via the I/O boards (peripheral boards) and
are therefore, represented by LED's on the boards. A few, however, are passed directly via the processor
board (direct outputs/inputs). The processor board does not contain LED's.

Identifying Outputs and Inputs on the Display Pages
—On CBW's, some allied
inputs are available for viewing on the Mentor Direct and Standard Inputs page (as indicated in
the signals tables). It is fairly easy to identify signals on the Mentor because the signal names are
displayed.
The single stage press, two stage press, centrifugal extractor, shuttle, COBUC, and dryer use a
two or four line by 20 character LCD display (see Note 4). On these devices, each output or input
is represented by a character (lower or upper case letter) on the top line and a plus (+) or minus (-)
sign under the character indicating the on/off status of the signal. The outputs and inputs span
several display pages. Each page is accessed via the keypad and the procedures for doing so are
explained in the reference manual. The “Display/code” values listed in the tables herein tell you
which display page and character represent the indicated signal, as shown in the following
example:
i2/H
Where:
i =
input display page (o = output display page)
2 = the second in a series of input display pages. See the
reference manual for the keystrokes used to access each
display page in the series. Note that in some software such as
the centrifugal extractor, page numbering begins with 0
(zero); that is, the first page is page #0. Hence, on software
such as the extractor, i2 = inputs page #1 (the second inputs
page).
H = This input is represented by the character “H” on the
display.
Note 4:
When the Milnor Dryer/Shuttle Controller is provided for a new installation, the LCD displays are
omitted from the controllers for any shuttle(s) and dryer(s) also provided. In this case, inputs and outputs
may be viewed on the monitor supplied with the shuttle/dryer controller. As with the CBW Mentor
controller, it is easy to identify signals because the signal names are displayed.

Identifying Output and Input LED's On the I/O Boards (all except 76032
CBW)
—Two types of output/input peripheral boards are used in conjunction with the allied
interfaces covered herein. Their designations and capacities are:
1. BO24-x —contains 24 outputs (and no inputs). x is “1”, “2”, etc. indicating the first, second,
etc. such board in this machine.
2. BIO-x —contains 16 inputs and 8 outputs. x is “1”, “2”, etc. indicating the first, second, etc.
such board in this machine.
For all except the CBW, the peripheral boards are located in the low voltage electric box. The
arrangement and combination of these boards within the card cage varies with the machine type
and optional equipment provided. For the G3 CBW (Mark 9), the boards that support the explicit
