105 Configuration Software
This chapter describes installation and operation of configuration software for the 105 radio
and serial telemetry modules. The configuration software runs on a conventional PC as a
Windows application. The software creates a configuration file which can be loaded into a
105 module via RS232. The configuration software also allows the configuration of a 105
module to be loaded for display and modification. Configuration files are created and stored
in project directories.
Configuration of 105 modules consists of entering I/O mappings, and selecting User Options.
An I/O mapping is a link between an input on the module being configured and an output on
another module. A mapping has the form :-
DI3
→
Out2 at 4 via 3, 11
This mapping links DI3 on this module to output channel 2 on the module with address 4,
and modules 3 and 11 are repeaters.
User Options may be selected to change the configuration of specific features.
Mappings configured to a 105U-C have the form :-
AI2
→
I/O Reg 1036 at 10 via 7
This mapping links AI2 on a 105 module to I/O Register 1036 in a 105U-C with address 10.
Module #7 is used as a repeater. The host device connected to the 105U-C can read the I/O
register.
