Relay-8 Mode
When the auxiliary port is used with a Relay-8 unit, this configuration
allows for control of the eight relays on the Relay-8 through the
use of a provided .dll. The disk supplied with the KE-USB36FS
has a section which includes examples of integrating code into a
program which controls the Relay-8 output states.
Use the MTA100-8/5-36FF cable to attach from the KE-USB36FS
Auxiliary header to the Relay-8. The supplied KE-USB36FS
configuration program is used to enable the Relay-8 functions on
the auxiliary port.
To allow for Relay-8 control, the checkbox for “Relay-8 on Aux”
must be checked.
Refer to the Relay-8 manual for instructions on the use of the
Relay-8 terminal block outputs.
All Relay-8 control in this configuration is controlled through the
user’s program and the supplied .dll on the enclosed disk.
Select the checkbox to enable the Relay-8
functions in the KE-USB36FS configuration
program.
NOTE: It is permitted to use both a Relay-8
and a Rotary-5 unit at the same time. An
MTA100-5-36-FF cable, in addition to the
MTA100-8/5-36FF cable, is required to
connect both a Rotary-5 and a Relay-8 unit
to the KE-USB36FS Auxiliary port.
To save the configuration to disk, select
File
, then
Save As
, and
specify a file name. Configurations saved at a prior time may be
recalled by using the
Open
selection and choosing a file from the
selection list.
To save the configuration to the KE-USB36FS, select
File
, then
Write to KEUSB36FS
. Be sure that the KE-USB36FS is connected to
the computer prior to this step. Once loaded, the new configuration
will take effect on the KE-USB36FS.
The configuration is stored on the KE-USB36FS in non-volatile
memory. Once a configuration is loaded into the unit, it will
remain set (even during power off) until changed by the user.
To retrieve an existing configuration from the KE-USB36FS, select
File
, then
Read from KE-USB36FS
. Be sure that the KE-USB36FS
is connected to the computer prior to this step. Once loaded, the
program window will display the device’s current configuration.
Note:
Loading a configuration from the KE-USB36FS will overwrite
any existing configuration settings in the program window.
