4 6SIP1 Status Panel Interface
4.1
General
The Status Panel Interface (J6) provides the means for the system to sample digital
input data points. These digital points can be configured in various ways, for
example:
•
Individual Status Points (on/off indications)
•
Accumulators, where the pulse count reflects a value.
Note that the SIP or SMP configuration profile is that of a Status Input Module (SIM).
Each group of 4 6SIP1 or 6SMP boards constitute one SIM module. Each group of
64 Status Points are assigned a unique address in sequence 0 thru 3. The Status
Panel Interface is capable of monitoring up to 16 individual Status Input Panels
(6SIP1) each containing 16 inputs, for a total of 256 individual digital input points.
When paired with a 6PIB1, the Status Panel Interface can monitor 20 Status
Multiplexer Panels (6SMP) containing 16 inputs each, for a total of 320 digital input
points. Some communication protocols, may limit the number of input points defined
as status points to a lesser number of points.
The Status Panel Interface, under program control, reads the state (0 or 1 value) of
the digital points in the selected status panels. This value is stored in RAM for
further processing and subsequent transmission to the "client".
A 26-pin IDC header, J6, is used for the connections to the 6SIP1 or 6PIB1 panel
through a 26-conductor ribbon cable. Signals in this connector include:
•
5 panel select lines
•
16 data bit lines
•
1 LATCH-EN line (turns on the V1 LED on the 6SIP1 panel)
•
1 SIP-ACK line (Status Panel Acknowledge)
•
1 +12 VDC power line
•
2 power common lines
