The AutoMax PC3000 A6B Remote I/O Scanner connection enables the AutoMax PC3000 to control any piece of hardware that can communicate over the A6B Remote I/O Network, including:

Dbulletin 1771, 1791, and 1794 I/O

DPanelView Operator Interface terminals

DRediPANEL stations

D1336 Plus and Force drives

The A6B Remote I/O network connection, when used in concert with the AutoMax DCS6NET network, lets you create low6cost, high6performance drive systems with many features found in AutoMax systems. You can control one or multiple drives, depending on the physical length of the network and the level of performance required.

The AutoMax PC3000 does not support the following standard AutoMax Multibus features:

DMulti6processing

DDistributed Power System

DCommunication Processors, other than the AutoMax DCS6NET network

1.2About the AutoMax PC3000 Processor Card

The AutoMax PC3000 Processor card combines most features from the following AutoMax products into a single, ISA bus compatible printed circuit board:

DAutoMax 7010 Processor

DAutoMax DCS6NET network

DAutoMax A6B Remote I/O Scanner

The on6board lithium battery and a super capacitor protect the PC3000 Processor card from memory loss during power failures. LEDs on the card help you troubleshoot the networks.

Figure 1.2 ; AutoMax PC3000 Processor Card

By adding the AutoMax PC3000 Processor card to an existing personal computer chassis, you can create a lower;cost drive controller that has the flexibility to talk directly with human;machine interfaces and operator interfaces over the computer chassis' ISA bus. The PC's processor remains free to run human;machine interfaces, operator interfaces, or other software without adversely affecting system performance.

The PC3000 Processor card occupies two full ISA slots of a personal computer, which it uses for power and ISA bus communication. It also ships as a component of the PC3000 Packaged Version.

1.2.1About the PC3000 Processor Functionality

The PC3000 Processor has 370K of RAM available for application programs. It can run programs created using AutoMax Enhanced BASIC, Enhanced Ladder Language, or Control Block languages. The Processor supports the AutoMax multi8tasking environment.

1.2.2About the A&B Remote I/O Functionality

Use the Allen8Bradley Remote I/O Scanner interface to link the PC3000 to Allen8Bradley I/O devices that communicate via the remote I/O link. The scanner interface can control such devices as Allen8Bradley's 1771 I/O, Flex I/O, Block I/O, SLC 500 Remote I/O Adapter Module and companion I/O modules, and operator interfaces. The scanner interface can scan both discrete and analog I/O as well as force inputs and outputs.

The scanner interface supports 18, 28, and 1/28slot addressing of a maximum of 32 remote racks. These racks can be either 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full racks. The PC3000 supports remote I/O communication rates of 57.6, 115.2, and 230.4 Kbps and can send a maximum of 48 block8transfer read or write requests of up to (and including) 64 words each.

About How the Scanner Module Transfers Discrete Data

A shared memory interface allows the scanner interface to communicate to the remote I/O adapter devices. It exchanges discrete data with remote I/O adapters. Figure 1.3 illustrates how discrete data is transferred.

About How the Scanner Module Transfers Block Data

In addition to discrete data, the scanner module can also exchange block data with remote I/O devices, such as analog I/O modules. A block@transfer request instructs the scanner module to interrupt normal I/O scanning and transfer as many as 64 words of data to or from a selected I/O module. Only one block@transfer request per I/O rack can be processed during a remote I/O scan.

For more information about block@transfers, see chapter 14, •Configuring and Programming Block Data Transfers to A@B I/O Modules."

1.2.3About the AutoMax DCS%NET Network Functionality

The AutoMax DCS@NET network is a serial, master/slave network that connects together multiple AutoMax racks. GV3000 and FlexPak 3000 drives, AutoMax PC3000s, and personal computers (with the AutoMax PC3000 Processor or PC@Link card installed) for a very predictable network response rate. Communication is performed at 875 Kbps over coaxial or fiber@optic cable. The number of devices you can have is dependent upon the type of cable you use and its length.

Each device on the network is called a drop. The master drop initiates and controls all transmissions on the network. All transmissions are broadcasted simultaneously. An address encoded on each data packet identifies which slave drop is to respond to that transmission. The slave's response is also broadcasted, with all drops on the network receiving the response data packets.

For more information about the DCS@NET network, see chapter 3.

1.3About the AutoMax PC3000 Serial Card

The AutoMax PC3000 Serial card contains two optically@isolated serial ports:

DPort A is a 9@pin female D@shell connector. You can configure Port A to support either the RS@232 or RS@422 EIA interface via two jumpers.

DPort B is a 25@pin female D@shell connector. You can use this port as an external connection for a programming terminal running the AutoMax Programming Executive software, or you can configure it to support DCE devices via a jumper.

Figure 1.4 9 The AutoMax PC3000 Serial Card

The Serial card ships as part of the AutoMax PC3000 Packaged Version, but the card is optional when installing it in a PC chassis. Installing the Serial card in the same PC as the PC3000 Processor card provides you with additional serial connectivity for programming devices, modems, and data display devices, etc.

The AutoMax PC3000 Serial card occupies one full ISA slot, and interfaces with the AutoMax Processor card via a ribbon cable. The ISA bus only provides power to the Serial card.

1.4About the AutoMax PC3000 Packaged Version

The AutoMax PC3000 Packaged Version is well9suited for a plant9floor environment. It includes a panel9mount, industrial9grade enclosure housing a pre9installed AutoMax PC3000 Processor card and Serial card. The enclosure is equipped with its own fan, fan filter, and power supply. Incoming power connection terminals are mounted onto the enclosure. You connect a programming device for the Packaged Version via Port B on the PC3000 Serial card.
