NETWORK
ISACC can communicate with other ISACC units without telephone lines through a net-
work. After the network is set up, you must tell each ISACC unit the information it will have
access to from another unit. See Chapter 3, for information on setting up the network. This
predetermined information exchange is called an Information Network Request. The key-
word command SET NETWORK allows you to program an Information Network Request.
Each ISACC unit can make a total of 60 requests for input/output information. However, all
units cannot request information at the same time. Therefore, the Master unit controls all
information exchange. An ISACC unit is identified as the Master by programming its network
node number as 0 (zero). See keyword SYSTEM. Note: Each piece of information takes one
second to transfer to another unit. The more requests you have programmed, the longer it will
take for each round through the units.
To program an information request, type set network after an ISACC prompt. Press ENTER
to go to the next parameter:
ISACC> set network
NETWORK REQUESTS
Request #01: Node >1, Input or Output (I/O) > i , I/O number > 4
Request #02: Node >1, Input or Output (I/O) > o , I/O number > 3
Request #03: Node >2, Input or Output (I/O) > i , I/O number > 14
Request #04: Node >
To display the network request values, type show network after an ISACC prompt:
ISACC> show network
NETWORK REQUESTS
Request #01: Node = 01, Input #04 = 0018
Request #02: Node = 01, Output #03 = 0001
Request #03: Node = 02, Input #14 = 0001
