1.1 Precautions

Power Supply

Turning the power off before normal ending of Windows NT may damage the file system
and important files. In the worst case, Windows NT cannot potentially be started.

Make certain to execute finish processing of Windows NT before turning the power off.
Also, make certain to supply the power that is always stable.

Detection of Abnormal Temperature

If the operating environment is not suitable, the inside temperature of the main unit may
exceed the specified value, which potentially presents a hazard of a system fault due to
equipment malfunction.

The C2/C3 monitors the CPU temperature through the RAS feature and generates an
alarm in case the temperature exceeds a preset value (currently 55
trouble. It is strongly recommended that application systems incorporate a program that
detects this alarm. The program should inform the operator about a trouble and stop the
system till the cause for a temperature error is removed when it receives such notice.

See the XrasUserWindow Command in "RAS Support Software" in chapter 3 for a
method to detect a temperature error by a specific application program.

File Backing Up

o

C), to notify a

Back up important files from time to time by copying files into backup files. Important files
cannot be restored in case they are lost by an unanticipated accident, unless they are
stored in backup files.

Changing Registry Value

Changes of the registry, which stores set values and registration information of Windows
NT require very careful execution. If an error is made in making a change, system
startup may be disabled.

Service Pack1 Installation

Reinstall the Service Pack when the system configuration is added or changed, such as
network protocol addition.

Caution for setting memory space addresses for PCMCIA card

Note that memory addresses 0xC8000 to 0xCA000 cannot be used for a PCMCIA card
or other card when mounting a card to use memory spaces in PCMCIA slots.

This is not shown in the Windows NT resource display , but a graphic chip also uses these
addresses.

Support Software

This chapter describes the I/O bus support software.
This software supports data from the C2/C3 input to and output from the various I/O

modules connected to the I/O bus. This software enables direct access of the I/O
modules from Windows NT, thereby easily accomplishing system construction with only
the C2/C3.

The following advantages can be derived by using this software:

• Easy creation of an I/O control application system merging screen control and network
features.

• This means that linkage with SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition)
software can be accomplished easily.

• An enhanced development environment of Windows NT can be used when creating
an I/O access program.

• Processing of a high parallelism by using multi process and multi thread.

• The same machine can develop and execute programs.

2.3.1 API

The API needed for an application to access an I/O module is mounted as DLL. The file
name of DLL is "g3iolib.dll."

The API provides interfaces for data input and output, various initializations, module error
information acquisition and other purposes.

2.3.2 Service

The service manages startup function registration when interrupts from the application
are generated. In case an I/O module specified for startup is interrupted, the user
function registered in advance is executed. The service manages batch input/output
data between the driver and application.

The parameters to specify operations by the batch input/output feature are stored in the
registry. For the complete information, see "2.7 Batch Input/Output"

2.3.3 Tool

The tool is a GUI tool that operates on Windows NT. Using this tool, the following
settings can be executed and information can be displayed.

(1) Individual mapping
The tool sets the types of mounting slots and modules of the I/O modules. Specify

mounting slots by a channel number, unit or a position inside a unit. Specify module
types by selecting from X, Y, X+Y, iX, iY and iX+Y.

The set information will be stored in the registry and will be looked up when the driver
starts up.

2.3 Software Configuration

CTi Automation - Phone: [phone] - Fax: [phone] - Web: www.ctiautomation.net - Email: [e-mail]

Individual mapping information, which is specified once, can be cancelled and automatic
mapping can be executed.

(2) Display of result of automatic mapping
In case individual mapping is not specified, the driver will execute automatic mapping

when the system is started. The tool displays results of automatic mapping.
(3) I/O bus mapping address change
Addresses of a memory space to be used by the I/O bus can be changed.
A change is not required in normal operations. A change is needed only if an address

conflicts when a PC card is used.
The following two addresses can be selected:

A) 0xD0000-0xD7FFF (Default)
B) 0xD8000-0xDFFFF

(4) Setting I/O bus time-out diagnosis time
An I/O bus time-out diagnosis time is set. If ACK is not returned within a preset time, a

hardware error will be declared and subsequent I/O bus accesses will be disabled.
A diagnosis time can be set between 4µs minimum and 60µs maximum in increments of

4µs. Default is set at 32µs.
The following settings can be executed by directly changing registry values using the

registry editor:

• Execute/non-execute on startup of module diagnosis

Whether or not to diagnose faults of the I/O modules executed by the device driver
should be executed beginning system startup can be specified.

Key: DiagStart
Value: 0 (Non-execute on start [default]) or 1 (Execute on start)

If execution is not started on start, diagnosis can be started using the function
"IobusSetDiag."

• Module diagnosis time interval

A time interval to execute the foregoing module diagnosis is specified.

Key: DiagInterval
Value: An integer larger than 0 (in seconds); default value 5

• Number of retry sessions during module error detection

The number of retries executed when an error occurs in module accessing is specified.
The driver tries accessing for the specified number. If errors still continue, the status of
the module is set to "error" and this module will be excluded in subsequent accessing.

By increasing this value, the resistance to temporary module errors increases. However,
the input/output speed will lower.

Key: RetryCount
Value: An integer larg er than 0 (in cycles); default va lue 5

Chapter 2 I/O Bus Support Software

2.4 Precautions on Use of This Software

This software implements the features provided by S3 and S2 designed exclusively for I/
O module control. The integrated controller basically differs from the so-called PLC in
hardware and software and an application system must be designed heeding to the
following when constructing an application system.

2.4.1 Specification Limitations and Cautions

• In case more than one controller are installed in the same basic unit, only one
controller installed in Slot 0 can control the I/O modules.

• The interrupt response time may vary depending on the system environment
(hardware and software configur ations and other elem ent s).

• Intervals of interrupts from modules that may generate interrupts such as CDDIs and
intervals of timer interrupts by software must be designed taking the load of the entire
system into consideration. If intervals are too short, the response performance of the
entire system may be lowered.

• A feature equivalent to the fixed-time scan feature in S3 can be implemented using
Win32API. The interval accuracy depends on the features and performance provided
by Windows NT.

• Depending on how the priority is set by application, operation of this software may
delay by operations of other Windows applications.

• If I/O module accessing causes a time-out, scan execution period by the service will
delay.

2.4.2 Programming Precautions

• Application programs are created as Win32 applications.
The application programs call functions supplied by this support software and access

the I/O modules.

• Fixed-cycle interrupts can be implemented by using a feature provided by Win32API.

• In both floating scanning and fixed-time scanning, the control structure such as

repeating has to be described by an application itself.

• The startup timing of application programs that use the features of this software is the
same as in starting ordinary Win32 applications.

• Execution of a program without releasing the CPU will deteriorate the response of the
entire system.

• Functions can be started up by interrupts such as CDDIs. These functions are
executed as threads and a library (libcmt.lib) compatible to multithreads must be linked
during coding.

For the complete information, see the API referen ce "Io bus Reg Cal lba ckF un c."

• Function ending and data sending to an actual device of batch output functions in this
support software are not synchronized. Data is stored by output operation of the
service.

For the complete information, see "2.7 Ba tch Input/Output"

2.4.3 Comparison with S2/S3

CTi Automation - Phone: [phone] - Fax: [phone] - Web: www.ctiautomation.net - Email: [e-mail]

• The feature "In case one scan processing time exceeds a preset time in fixed-time
scanning, scanning will change to floating scan, but will reset to fixed-time scanning
when the processing time returns" in S2/S3 is not provided. If this processing is
needed, it must be processed by an application program.

• Modes corresponding to HALT, HOLD and DEBUG in mode control processing
provided by S2/S3 are not available.

• Normally operated in a mode corresponding to RUN or RUN-F. The mode will change
to the ERROR mode if a critical error occurs, stopping the access feature.

Whether normal operations correspond to RUN or RUN-F depends on coding of the
application program.

• User data is initialized by data setting by an application program.

• A feature to latch user data in a power failure is not provided.

2.4.4 Purchasing and Development Environment

• This software is authorized to be installed in one each application development
machine and target machine only. The user is requested to kindly purchase this
software for each of target machines in case more than one target machine are used.

• A C/C++ development environment for Windows NT, such as Visual C++ of Microsoft,
needs be purchased in developing application programs.
