CPCI
No Switches
There are no switches on the CPCI. Because the CPCI complies with the PCI Plug-and-Play
specification, the BIOS
automatically sets
the I/O addresses and IRQ of all peripherals in the
system.
Accessing the CPCI
In order to properly access the controller using any MEI-supplied utility ( Motion Console) or
your own application program, you must obtain the address the BIOS gave to the CPCI-bus
computer (at start-up). This can be determined by an MEI supplied function,
find_pci_dsp(...),
or via Motion Console.
Motion Console will automatically find all PCI controllers on the bus. Simply select
Add Con-
troller
and click on the
PCI Controller
tab. The address and IRQ of all PCI bus controllers will
be listed.
Usage of the MEI function
find_pci_dsp(...)
is further described in the
C Programming Refer-
ence Manual.
Please refer to that document for a detailed description on using this function.
If you are still having problems communicating with the controller after you’ve found its ad-
dress, you may have to reserve the resources in use by the controller using the
System
applet in
the control panel.
