Acromag provides a software product (sold separately) consisting of IP
module VxWorks
libraries. This software (Model IPSW-API-VXW) is
composed of VxWorks
(real time operating system) libraries for all
Acromag IP modules and carriers including the AVME9670,
AVME9660/9630, APC8620/21, ACPC8630/35, and ACPC8625. The
software is implemented as a l
ibrary of “C” functions which link with existing
user code to make possible simple control of all Acromag IP modules and
carriers.
Upon receipt of this product, inspect the shipping carton for evidence of
mishandling during transit. If the shipping carton is badly damaged or water
stained, request that the carrier's agent be present when the carton is
opened. If the carrier's agent is absent when the carton is opened and the
contents of the carton are damaged, keep the carton and packing material
for the agent's inspection.
For repairs to a product damaged in shipment, refer to the Acromag
Service Policy to obtain return instructions. It is suggested that salvageable
shipping cartons and packing material be saved for future use in the event
the product must be shipped.
This board is physically protected with packing material and electrically
protected with an anti-static bag during shipment. However, it is
recommended that the board be visually inspected for evidence of
mishandling prior to applying power.
Refer to the specifications for loading and power requirements. Be sure
that the system power supplies are able to accommodate the power
requirements of the carrier/CPU board, plus the installed IP modules, within
the voltage tolerances specified.
The dense packing of the IP module to the carrier/CPU board restricts air
flow within the card cage and is cause for concern. Adequate air circulation
must be provided to prevent a temperature rise above the maximum
operating temperature and to prolong the life of the electronics. If the
installation is in an industrial environment and the board is exposed to
environmental air, careful consideration should be given to air-filtering.
Power should be removed from the board when installing IP modules,
cables, termination panels, and field wiring. Refer to Mechanical Assembly
Drawing 4501-434 and the following discussion for configuration and
assembly instructions. Model IP482 Counter/Timer Boards have no jumpers
or switches to configure
—all configuration is through software commands
.
