Addressing of DNR-12-1G Components

A feature of th e DNR-X-1G design is that the address of a module is determined by the position of the module within the enclosure, numbered from left to right. A typical module address is:

0xA00nxxxx

where A00 is the BASE address n is the module position number starting from 0 at the left xxxx is the address of the module With this addressing method, the address of a given I/O board (module) automatically changes if you move it from one position to another within the enclosure.

The slots or module positions are numbered as follows (left to right):

Cooling Air Flow

As shown below in Figure 2-9, cooling air is drawn into the rear of the enclosur e via four fans, routed forward over the electronic circuit boards, up to the top of the enclosure, and then out the top rear of the enclosure. The system is designed to maintain positive pressure cooling within the enclosure at all times.

Figure 2-9. DNR-12 Air Flow

Two sensors mounted on the backplane over the Power Module and over the CPU board continuously monitor internal temperatures, turning fans on if the internal temperature exceeds 45°C, off if it falls below 45°C, and shutting down power if a high limit is exceeded.

A functional block diagram of the DNR-POWER-DC Module is shown in Figure 2-15 below.

Figure 2-15. Functional Block Diagram of DNR-POWER-DC Module

As shown in Figure 2-15, the DNR-POWER-DC Module operates as follows: A 9-36 VDC voltage input (Vin) from an external source is connected to the

board through a replaceable slow-blow fuse. The board monitors the input current and passes Vin to the DNR bus as Vout.

Vout also is connected to DC/DC converters that produce 24 VDC, 3.3 VDC and

1.5 VDC output voltages, which are also placed on the DNR bus. Both 3.3 and

1.5 VDC voltages are connected to low dropout regulator s that, in turn, generate the 2.5 VDC and 1.2 VDC output voltages on the bus. The 24 VDC source is fed to a low dropout regulator that produces 8 VDC to drive the cooling fans (through fan controller chips).

The input current and all output voltages, including the +2.5, +3.3, and +24 VDC from the NIC module, plus signals from the two temperature sensors mounted within the enclosure, are input to a 24-bit delta-sigma A/D converter. Except for Vin, the voltage sources use 1:23.1 divide rs on the front end. Vin uses a 1:45.3 divider.

Figure 2-16 shows the interaction of modules within a DNR-12 enclosure when the DNR-BUFFER module is used.

Figure 2-16. Functional Block Diagram of DNR-12 Enclosure

As shown above, the I/O slots are divided into two groups: 0 to 5 and 6 to 0xB. 0xC for the DC Power Module is included with the 0 to 5 group. The DNRBUFFER board is located at the center of the enclosure, which is also at the center point of the ADDR/CTRL bus. The DNR-CPU-1000 module is also located at the center of the enclosure and the center of the data b us to minimize bus delays. The CPU addresses I/O Boards and transmits clock ticks through the Buffer Board, which controls the Addr/Ctrl and clock lines to the modules.

Temperature sensors monitor temperatures within the enclosure above the DNR-POWER-DC module and the DNR-CPU module.

4.1.2 Install Software

Inspect the contents of the shipping package. With a standard DNR-X-1G system, you should find:

• A DNR-12 or DNR-6 enclosure, preinstalled with a NIC/CPU (DNR-CPU-1000/-XX) module, DNR-POWER-DC module, blank filler panels (if specified), plus your selection of I/O boards. A DNR-12 system also includes a DNR-BUFFER module (not used with a DNR-6).

• A DNA-PSU-180 180-watt (for DNR-12-1G product versions) or a DNA-PSU-100 100-watt (for DNR-6-1G) universal powerline brick

that plugs into an AC outlet and provides 24V DC output. The supply comes with a power cord for the mains and an adapter cable ending in a Molex connector for plugging into the DN R-POWER-DC Module.

• DB-9 serial cable for initial hardware configuration and firmware downloading.

• Cat5e Ethernet cable (7 foot).

• CD-ROM with support software.

This section describes how to load the PowerDNA software suite onto a Windows- or Linux-based computer (i.e. host PC) and run some initial tests.

The latest PowerDNA or DNR-X-1G support software is online at www.ueidaq.com/download

; a copy is also on the PowerDNA Software Suite

CD.

A. Software Install: Windows

The PowerDNA CD provides one installer that combines the UEI low-level driver and UEIDAQ Framework.

Be sure to install third-party applications (such as LabVIEW , MATLAB, or Visual Studio) before installing the PowerDNA Software Suite. The installer automatically searches for third-party IDE and testing suites, and adds them as tools to the suites found.

To install the PowerDNA Software Suite, do the following:

STEP 1: Open the PowerDNA Software Suite installer as an administrator.

You can run the installer from the provided PowerDNA Software Suite CD or from a downloaded installation from our website.

• T o run the installer from the PowerDNA Software Suite CD, insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Windows should automatically start the PowerDNA Setup program. An installer with the UEI logo will open, and then the PowerDNA Welcome screen should appear. If this does not happen, run setup.exe from the CD drive:

Start >> Run >> d:\setup.exe >> OK

• To run from a recently downloaded executable from www.ueidaq.com, right-click the filename, and run as administrator.

1. A larger power supply is required for some configurations. Refer to UEI.

STEP 2: Follow the prompts, and then choose a PowerDNA Software Suite Setup Type.

Unless you are an expert user and have specific requirements, select Typical Installation and accept the default configuration.

The Software Suite installer automatically installs any required tools and plugins. If 32-bit Java VM is not detected on the system, Java JRE 1.6.5 for Windows XP

will automatically be installed for PowerDNA Explorer. As an alternative, use the Custom option to display and ensure that all of the necessary packages are installed.

• Companion Documentation: Quick Start Guide, Configuration and Core Module, I/O Board Manuals, API Programming Guide

• SDK: includes/lib for C/Java, examples, and JRE; (The SDK is not the UeiDaq Framework)

• PowerDNA Apps: PowerDNA Explorer, MTTTY

• PowerDNA Components (incl. DLL files)

• PowerDNA Firmware

STEP 3: Click Next to continue through the dialogs. STEP 4: Click Finish to complete the installation.

The Software Suite installs tools needed in later steps, such as MTTTY, PowerDNA Explorer, and th e low -le ve l dr ive r.

UEIDAQ Framework is also included in the installation and provides the structure for developing applications under C/C++, C#, VB.NET, ActiveX, MATLAB, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, OPC, and other programming languages.

STEP 5: Restart the computer.

NOTE: Because the installation process modifies your Windows registry, you

should always install or uninstall the software using the appropriate utilities. Never remove PowerDNA software from your PC directly by deleting individual files; always use the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs utilit

Software Install: Linux

Installation and Configuration

4.2 Initial Boot-up Perform an initial boot in preparation for configuring the network using the

following procedure:

STEP 1: Familiarize yourself with your DNR system front-panel layout. Note that all

connections are made on the front of the unit; no rear access is required in a rack-mounted configuration.

STEP 2: Optionally, set up communication over the serial port by attaching the serial

cable between the host PC and to the RS-232 port on the front panel of the DNR-X-1G:

a. Run a serial terminal-emulation program (e.g., MTTTY) on the PC. Any

terminal-emulation program, except HyperTerminal, may be used (MTTTY, Minicom, TeraTerm, PuTTY, etc.).

b. Verify that COM parameters are set at: 57600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1

stop bit.

c. Click Connect in MTTTY, or use the commands on one of the other

terminal-emulation programs to establish communication with the DNR-X-1G system.

STEP 3: Connect power to the system (9-36V DC) by plugging the Molex-type power

connector from the power supply into the mating connector at the front of the DNR-X-1G chassis. The power source may be the bundled DNA-PSU-180 180-watt (for DNR-121G) or DNR-PSU-100 100-watt (for DNR-6-1G) powerbrick or a user-supp lied source. Note that the powerbrick plugs into a 10 0 - 24 0V, 47- 63 Hz outlet and outputs up to 4.17A at 24 VDC.

STEP 4: Turn on the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the DNR-X-1G chassis.

NOTE: As soon as the system powers up, it runs through a self-diagnostic

mode and generates output on the terminal program. A typical readout is shown in Figure 4-1 on the next page.

4.3 IP Address Overview & Update Procedures

4.3.1 When Should

You Change the IP Address?

All parameters can be changed, including the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask (netmask) configured for the system. The next section provides instructions for changing the IP address. Refer to Chapter 6 for more info rmation about changing the IP address and other parameters via the serial port.

The DNR-X-1G ships with preconfigured factory default IP addresses for NIC1 and NIC2 in nonvolatile memory (usually 192.168.100.2 for NIC1 and

192.168.100.102 for NIC2). These are static IP addresses; the system never retrieves its IP address from a DHCP server.

This section describes when and how to change the default IP addresses.

You should change your IP address if you have multiple UEI chassis in your application or if your application has network addressing guidelines you must conform to.

Before connecting your DNR-X-1G to a general-purpose (company domain) network, consider the following:

• High sampling rate measurements consume a lot of the available bandwidth.

• Some samples may be significantly delayed or entirely dropped (lost) due to network congestion, collisions or a slow switch.

• Whether a system will be accessed by multiple parties on a LAN.

• Whether multiple Cubes/RACKs/systems will operate (and interact) on

the same network.

Alternatively, if you plan to use the system for high-speed measurements where high reliability is necessary – a direct connection between the host PC and the

DNR-X-1G NIC

is recommended.

Refer to “Network Configuration” on page 44 for more information.

STEP 1: Click Scan Network to explore your system (refer to Figure 4-3 for button

STEP 2: Click the DNR-X-1G system that you want to update,

STEP 3: Enter the new IP address in the IP 1 field.

You can use PowerDNA Explorer (a UEI-developed GUI application) or a serial terminal program to change the IP address.

The first step in changing the IP address is to consult your system or network administrator to obtain unused IP addresses.

You can change the IP address from the default using either of the following procedures:

• Section 4.3.2.1 (via PowerDNA, recomm ended)

• Section 4.3.2.2. (via the serial port )

PowerDNA Explorer provides an interface for communicating with your DNR-X-1G system over an Ethernet connection.

To use PowerDNA Explorer, you must first establish communication between your host PC and chassis. Refer to “Getting Started with PowerDNA Explorer” on page 69 for additional information about how to open, set up and use PowerDNA Explorer, if needed.

To update your IP address, do the following in the PowerDNA Explorer window:

4.3.2.2 Update IP

Address via Serial Port

To update the IP address on your DNR-X-1G over the serial port, you must first establish serial communication between your host PC and chassis.

To set up communication over the serial port, do the following:

a. Attach a serial cable between the host PC and the RS-232 port on the

front panel of the DNR-X-1G.

b. Run a serial terminal-emulation program (e.g., MTTTY) on the PC. Any

terminal-emulation program, except HyperTerminal, may be used (MTTTY, Minicom, TeraTerm, PuTTY, etc.).

c. Verify that COM parameters are set at 57600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1

stop bit.

d. Click Connect in MTTTY, or use the commands on one of the other

terminal-emulation programs to establish communication with the DNR-X-1G system.

NOTE: Once a connection is made, you will see a DQ> prompt when you press

<Enter>.

To update the IP address on your DNR-X-1G, enter the following commands in the serial terminal window:

DQ> set ip 192.168.200.65 Enter user password > powerdna

DQ> store DQ> reset

4.3.3 How to Change the Secondary (Diagnostic) IP Address (NIC2)

In the above example, “192.168.200.65” is the new IP address, the default password is “powerdna”, and reset reboots the system, which is required for the new IP address to take effect.

To verify, you can type show to display the new IP address. Refer to Section 6.4 for more descriptions of commands you can issue via the serial application, including descriptions of the set and store commands.

Once your IP address is configured, you can connect the DNR-X-1G NIC to your host PC or to a switch for communication via a network connection.

T o chang e the IP address of the seconda ry port (NIC2), you use a serial terminal program as with the primary port, but instead use the command:

set ip2 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the new IP address for the secondary port. Then proceed the same as with the primary port. NIC2 IP add resses can not be

changed using PowerDNA Explorer.

4.4.1 Example of Configuring Network Settings

This section provides an example of configuring a separate network for diagnostics.

In this example, we assume that your office uses a Class C network (the class intended for small networks with fewer than 256 devices) and your host is configured with a static IP or via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

STEP 1: Obtain your networking configuration:

• On Windows systems, open the command prompt and type ipconfig to

display the configuration:

Start >> Programs >> ( Accessories >>) Command Prompt

C:\> ipconfig Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.10

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

• On Linux systems, use “ifconfig” instead.

In the above example, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on NIC1 uses the subnet range 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255. Refer to the IP Addressing Side Note on the next page for more information about subnets.

Installation and Configuration

IP Addressing Side Note: The range of usable addresses is defined by the IP address and subnet mask.

• An IP address is a number that lies within the range of 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. In the ipconfig example shown in step 1, the IP address is 192.168.1.10.

• The subnet mask indicates where an address range starts and stops. For example, a subnet mask

255.255.255.240 has 15 usable addresses (255.255.255.255 – 2 55.255.255.240). In the ipconfig example shown in step 1, the subnet is 255.255.255.0, or 255 addresses.

The subnet limits from anything.anything.anything.0 up to the max.

• The usable range for 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0 is 192 .168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (192.168 .1.0 and 192.168.1.255 are reserved for Router and Broadcast messages).

• The usable range for 192.168 .100.2/255.255.255.0 is 192.16 8.100.1 to 192.168.100.254

Not every IP address from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 is usable; however, these three ranges of IP addresses are guaranteed open for private use:

• 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.25 5

• 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255

• 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

STEP 2: Install a secondary NIC card, if needed. STEP 3: Set up a secondary network that does not overlap the existing one:

In our example, the address space 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255 is used by NIC1. The IP address block 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.255 is available and is in the private range.

We will choose 192.168.100.1-192.168.100.255 for the PC’s secondary NIC and setup the port as follows:

IPv4 Address: 192.168.100.3 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway:192.168.100.3

a. On your host PC, open the Network and Internet settings in the control

panel:

Start >> Programs >> Control Panel >>Network and Internet >> View network status and tasks

b. Click Change adapter settings in the left-sidebar , and then right-click the

adapter to bring up the Properties window.

c. Open the TCP/IPv4 properties of the adapter and edit to the network

settings noted above.

NOTE: Refer to the Appendix A for step-by-step instructions and screenshots

on how to set up TCP/IPv4 properties.

STEP 4: Use a serial terminal application (e.g. MTTTY) on the host to configure the

DNR-X-1G system to use the same subnet as the host PC:

Rack NIC2 IP: 192.168.100.2 Rack NIC2 Gateway:192.168.100.3 Rack NIC2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0

a. Attach a serial cable between the host PC and the RS-232 port on the

front panel of the DNR-X-1G.

b. Run a serial terminal-emulation program (e.g., MTTTY) on the PC. Any

terminal-emulation program, except HyperTerminal, may be used (MTTTY, Minicom, TeraTerm, PuTTY, etc.).

c. Verify that COM parameters are set at 57600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1

stop bit.

d. Click Connect in MTTTY, or use the commands on one of the other

terminal-emulation programs to establish communication with the DNR-X-1G system.

e. Enter the following commands when you see the DQ command prompt:

DQ> set ip2 192.168.100.2 DQ> set gateway2 192.168.100.3 DQ> set netmask2 255.255.255.0 DQ> store DQ> reset

NOTE: The DNR-X-1G rack in th is example is changed to 192.168.100.2 in

step 4 above (in the same subnet as your host PC’s NIC2 at

192.168.100.3 which was set up in step 3). Note that this example assumes NIC1 is already set on your DNR-X-1G system.

Use following checklist as a starting point when troubleshooting a system.

 Verify the PG (Power Good) LED is ON:

The 9-36 V DC power supply is plugged into the DNR-POWER-DC Power Module panel. (Refer to Figure 2-12 on page 15 for LED locations)

 Verify the green lights on NIC ports are blinking:

The CAT5e cables are connected.

 Check communication over the Ethernet connection:

Use the command prompt to ping <system IP>. (For example: ping 192.168.100.2) If ping doesn’t respond, check the following

• Disable the firewall (temporarily) on the NIC.

• Check the NIC’s network settings.

• Check the system’s network settings.

 Check communication over the serial connection:

Connect a serial cable between your host PC and your DNR-X-1G chassis, open a serial communication program (e.g., MTTTY), and click

Connect:

• Press [Enter] in the serial terminal window to display the DQ> prompt.

(No prompt indicates that you are not connected).

• If you cannot connect over the serial port, ch eck the following:

• Verify the settings: 57600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.

• Check the device manager on your PC to see which com port you

are using. Enter that com port in your serial communications program, (e.g., COM1, COM2, COM3), click Connect and press

<Enter>.

• If you are able to connect over the serial port, check the following:

• Typ e “ show” the serial termin al window to verify the IP, Subnet

Mask, and Gateway.

• Note “show” results, and verify computers are on a valid subnet and have valid IPs.

 Reboot the DNR-X-1G system. The start-up screen should display upon

restart.

4.6 Updating Firmware

This section provides the following information updating the firmware for DNR-X-1G RACKtangle/HalfRACK (i.e., RACK) systems:

• Determining Currently Installed Firmware Version (Section 4.6.1)

• Updating Firmware via PowerDNA Explorer (Section 4.6.2)

• Updating Firmware via Serial Interfac e (Section 4.6.3)

The CPU/NIC module in a DNR-X-1G stores the system firmware. Updated firmware is periodically released to introduce new features and to

improve the performance of existing features. Updated firmware releases are bundled with the full PowerDNA Software Suite, available for download at any time from the UEI web site (www.ueidaq.com).

To locate the latest UEI firmware after installing the PowerDNA Software Suite, browse to the installation’s Firmware directory, (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\UEI\PowerDNA\Firmware).

The directory contains the following:

• an MTTTY executable (serial terminal application)

• two sub-directories containing the firmware

Locate the firmware in the GigE system directory: this is the Firmware_PPC_1G subdirectory and the rom image file with extension MOT.

DNR-12-1G: The DNR-12-1G mounting options include mounting on a flat

horizontal surface such as a tabletop or floor, a flat vertical surface such as a wall, or in a standard 19-inch rack.

• For horizontal surface mounting, use the rubber feet supplied with the standard enclosure or bolt the case directly to the surface.

• For mounting on a vertical wall surface, attach flanges to both ends of the enclosure with the flanges aligned flush with the rear of the enclosure; then fasten the flange s to the surface with screws or bolts.

• For mounting in a standard 19-inch rack, attach flanges to both ends of the enclosure with the flanges aligned flush with the front of the enclosure. Then attach the flanges to the rack with bolts.

NOTE: Note that the flanges are included with the purchase of the DNR-X-1G

racks. If you need more clearance from the rack front panel, refer to the DNR-EXT-BRACKET-4 which provides 3.625 inches of clearance.

DNR-6-1G:The DNR-6-1G mounting options include the same flat horizontal (tabletop, floor) and vertical surface (wall) options as the DNR-12-1G.

For flat horizontal surfaces, the DNR-6-1G can use the rubber feet supplied with the standard enclosure or can be bolted directly to the horizontal surface.

For flat vertical surfaces, the DNR-6-1G can be mounted with the flange mounts; however , since the DNR-6-1G is not 19” wide, UEI recommends using a shelf for rack installations.

If you need technical drawings, please contact UEI support.

Boards

4.9 Repairing

(and Upgrading) a DNR System

Refer to the applicable I/O board manuals and data sheets for pinouts and proper wiring to boards.

DNR-X-1G systems come from the factory fully configured and calibrated. Individual modules are designed for field replacement and are not suited for field repairs.

If you encounter a problem with a DNR system, you can powerdown your system and remove and replace individual boards or other system modules in the field. You can also rearrange the locations of boards within the enclosure at any time; however, note that you may nee d to rep rog ra m I/O boar d location s in your application.

No Hot Swapping

Always turn POWER OFF before performing maintenance on a UEI system. Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to the equipment and possible injury to personnel.

If you want to enhance, repair, or otherwise modify a specific I/O board, however, you must send the module back to the factory or to your local distributor.

This process requires that you request an RMA number from UEI before shipping. To do so, contact support@ueidaq.com and provide the following information:

1. Model Number of the unit, (e.g. DNR-AI-217)

4.10 Configuring a

NIC Port for Diagnostic Mode

2. Serial Number of the unit

3. Reason for return, (e.g. faulty channel, needs calibration, etc.)

UEI will process the request and issue an RMA number.

The CPU Core Module has two Ethernet ports, NIC1 and NIC2. Either port can be assigned as the Main Operation Port or as a Diagnostics Port.

The main and diagnostics ports are interchangeable. The user application can open both ports independently and use separate handles to access each of them. A port becomes a diagnostics port, which prevents change s in the state of the ongoing operation, after it is configured and locked-in as a diagnostics port. This allows great flexibility in IOM wiring — if either port or its cabling fails, you can use the other port as the main port.

If all I/O boards are in configuration mode and the lock is not set, the diagnostics port functions as an equivalent of the main port. Any command that can be executed on the main port can be executed on the diagnostics port as well.

Refer to the PowerDNA API Reference Manual for API used with this section.

Installation and Configuration

The following standard DAQBIOS commands are accessible on the diagnostics port whenever one or more I/O boards are in operating mode:

DQCMD_ECHO // echo DQCMD_RDCFG // read configuration (new) DQCMD_RDSTS // read status DQCMD_WRCHNL (selected)//write channel DQCMD_RDCHNL (selected)// read channel DQCMD_IOCTL (selected) // ioctl() - low priority command DQCMD_SETLOCK // set/release port lock

Commands that are capable of changing the state of the running I/O boards will not execute.

To switch a port into diagnostics mode, use the DqCmdSetLock API, as described below:

int DAQLIB DqCmdSetLock(int Iom, uint8 Mode,char Password,uint32 *IP)

Parameters: int Iom // Pointer to the DQIOME structure uint8 Mode // Function mode (lock/unlock/check/diagnostics) char *Password // password string; ignored (and can be NULL) // if Mode is DQSETLOCK_CHECK uint32 *IP // returns the IP address of the locking host // if Mode is DQSETLOCK_CHECK

Chapter 4 60

<Mode> can be one of the following:

#define DQSETLOCK_LOCK0 // Lock IOM to host #define DQSETLOCK_UNLOCK1 // Unlock IOM #define DQSETLOCK_CHECK2 // Get locking host IP #define DQSETLOCK_DIAG4 // Switch to diagnostics

To advance a port into diagnostics mode, call this function with the <Mode> parameter set to DQSETLOCK_DIAG. To return a port to normal mode, use the same function call with DQSETLOCK_UNLOCK.

The following table describes the possible states of both ports:

DQCMD_RDCFG

This command returns the current configuration of the specified board(s):

int DAQLIB DqCmdReadCfg(int Iom, DQRDCFG pDQRdCfg[], uint32 maxsize, uint32* entries)

int Iom // a pointer to the DQIOME structure DQRDCFG pDQRdCfg[] // structure that contains board configuration uint32 maxsize // number of DQRDCFG structures passed uint32* entries // number of DQRDCFG structures returned

typedef struct ( uint8 DEV; // device (host fills this field) uint8 ss; // subsystem (host) uint32 status; // device status (device returns following fields) uine32 cfg; // configuration, including clocks uint32 rate; // clock divider in 15.5ns intervals uint32 clsize; // size of the channel list uint32 cl[]; // channel list - variable size ) DQRDCFG, *pDQRDCFG;

Note: Use device!=0x80 to indicate that this is the last device in the list.

DQCMD_RDSTS

This command returns the status of the IOM and each and every board in the stack (upon request):

int DAQLIB DqCmdReadStatus (int Iom, uint8 *DeviceNum, uint32 *Entries, uint32 *Status, uint32 *StatusSize)

Parameters: int Iom // A pointer to the DQIOME structure unit8 *DeviceNum // Array of board numbers to retrieve status uint32 *Entries // Number of entries in DeviceNum array uint32 *Status // Buffer to store values received from device uint32 *StatusSize // Size of buffer, 32-bit chunks. // Returns number of 32-bit values // copied into Status

There are special device numbers to access status of various boards: OxFE – returns IOM status and status of all boards (note that each board status

is expressed as four 32-bit words. Thus , the maximum size of status packets is (4 + 14*4)*sizeof(uint32) = 240 bytes.

0x7F – returns IOM status only (four bytes) 0x0 . . .0xE – returns status of one of the boards

The status for each board consists of four 32-bit words, as follows:

/* status offsets into devob].status array */ #define STS_STATE(0) // state of the board #define STS_POST(1) // post status #define STS_FW(2) // firmware status #define STS_LOGIC(3) // logic status

The first word is the state of the board – what mode of operation it is in, and the lower 8-bits of the timestamp. If the 10 us timestamp does not change after each call, the logic is in the inoperative state, as:

Sequence of Operation

To use the diagnostic port without affecting performance of the main port, UEI recommends that you use the following sequence of operations:

1. Open main port.

2. Open diagnostics port.

3. Perform hardware reset (optional) and re-open ports, if needed.

4. Lock diagnostic port into DQSETLOCK_DIAG.

5. When operation is configured on the main port, read the status of the diagnostics port to verify that the configuration was programmed correctly.

6. Once operation on the main port is started, the diagnostics port becomes available for data retrieval.

7. Read status of the diagnostics port to make sure that all boards of interest successfully entered operating mode without error.

8. In the cycle: a. Retrieve the current status once a second. b. Check the flags for error conditions. c. Retrieve additional data if any flags are set.

9. Stop operation and unlock diagnostics port.

10.Resume normal operation with main port.

STEP 1: Turn OFF power to the DNR-X-1G system using the toggle switch at the front of

STEP 2: Identify the DNR-CPU-1000 module in your DNR-X-1G chassis, and using a

DNR-X-1G systems include a hardware feature that provides the option of disabling writes to non-volatile memory (NVRAM).

By installing the NVRAM protection jumper, all writes to flash and EEPROM will be disabled on the hardware level.

NOTE: Writes to the EEPROM on the DNx-AO-358 and DNx-AO-364 are not

disabled by this process. Applications that must disable all NVRAM writes should not include the DNx-AO-358 and DNx-AO-364 products in their system.

Note that installing the NVRAM protection jumper requires the DNR-CPU-1000/ DNR-CPU-1000-XX module in the DNR-X-1G chassis to have a PCB board removed and replaced. In general UEI does not recommend that users remove PCB boards from their carriers: over-torquing screws or bending PCB boards can permanently damage the DNR-CPU-1000 modules. UEI can install and remove jumpers as needed, if you have any concerns.

To disable writes to non-volatile memory, do the following:

CAUTION! Care must be taken when replacing PCB boards into carrier. Over-tightening or forcing hardware can crack boards, damage components and/or leave the DNR- NIC/CPU module inoperable.

STEP 6: To install the lower PCB board into the carrier, do the following:

a. Gently slide lower PCB board into carrier. Care must be taken when

sliding the board in; electrolytic capacitors on board can get damaged if they scrape against top board.

b. Align PCB board LEDs, RESET button, and sync port with ope nings on

When an item is selected in the tree, the settings panel changes to reflect the settings for that device. The first time an item is selected, the device is queried as though you had invoked the Start Reading Input Data co mmand.

On subsequent selections of the same item, the last settings are re-displayed. Thus, if you made changes but did not write them to the device, the changes are remembered. Invoking the Start Reading Input Data command will re-read the device and overwrite the current settings in the settings panel.

Devices whose settings have changed, but have not been written, are displayed in bold italics in the tree to provide a visual cue. Changed devices that become missing on a subsequent invocation of Scan Network turn red in the tree. (Unchanged items that become missing are simply removed from the tree.)

5.3 Exploring I/O

Boards with PowerDNA Explorer

5.3.1 Digital Input/

Output Board Settings

Settings available through PowerDNA Explorer will be dependent on the settings specific to each board types.

Examples of settings for several types of I/O boards are provided in subsections below:

• Digital Input/Output Board Settings (Section 5.3.1)

• Analog Output Board Settings (Section 5.3.2)

• Analog Input Board Settings (Section 5.3.3)

• Counter/Timer Board Settings (Section 5.3.4)

NOTE: Examples in this section are an introduction to PowerDNA Explorer

capabilities; please note PowerDNA Explorer provides a communication link with all types of UEI I/O boards, not just the board-types listed in this section.

This section provides an overview of PowerDNA Explor er settings for digital input/output boards. Each type of I/O board will have displays specific to the features offered with that board. In this section, we use the DIO-403 as an example.

NOTE: Use Network >> Start Reading Input Data to see immediate input values

in Input tabs. Use Network >> Store Config to save values to the board.

The DIO-403 board is a 48-bit DIO board. It is different from other digital I/O boards because it groups 8-bits at a time into ports, and three ports into two “channels”. This means that bit 0 in port 0 in channel 0 corresponds to DIO pin 0; bit 1 in port 1 in channel 0 corresponds to DIO pin 9; bit 2 in port 2 in channel 0 corresponds to DIO pin 18, etc.

For the sake of abstraction in PowerDNA Explorer, we'll call all ports channels.

Output tab sets the output value driven from the pin. The Output tab contains the following columns:

•Name is the channel (port) name, or a user-defined string.

•7:0 Output values consist of the output state to be driven from the I/O

pin: select 0 (unchecked) or 1 (checked).

The settings in Figure 5-20 will cause output high values on DIO pin 6, pin 20, pin 21, and pin 26. The settings will cause output low values on DIO pins 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.

The rest of the pins are configured as inputs; input vs output configuration is set under the Configuration tab.

5.3.2 Analog Output

Board Settings

This section provides an overview of PowerDNA Explorer settings for analog output boards. Each type of analog output board will have displays specific to the features offered with that board. In this section, we use th e AO-308 as an example.

NOTE: Use Network >> Store Config to save values to the board.

Figure 5-22. Example AO-308 Board

Controls for changing output, initialization, and shutdown values are available under each of the tabs in the settings panel. You can then choose Network >> Store Config to apply all changes to the board.

Output Range is displayed above the tabs. In this example, the output range cannot be changed and is informational only (the AO-308 output range is ±10 V). On other boards, Output Range is a popup allowing you to choose between board-supported ranges.

The Initialization and Shutdown tabs contain controls for setting initial and shutdown states:

•Name is the channel name or a user-defined string.

•Value contains a slider to set the voltage to output for the channel and

the numerical voltage value, which you can input directly.

5.3.3 Analog Input

Board Settings

This section provides an overview of PowerDNA Explorer settings for analog input boards. Each type of analog input board will have displays specific to the features offered with that board. In this section, we use the AI-207 as an example.

NOTE: Use Network >> Start Reading Input Data to see immediate input

values. Use Network >> Store Config to save values to the board.

Figure 5-23. Example AI-207 Board

Input Range provides a pulldown menu of the range of expected input voltages to be measured by the board. On this board, the range can be specified as ±10 V to ±0.0125 V. Note if the actual voltage is outside of the range specified, the value displayed will clip at the maximum input range value.

The Data table contains the values currently read by the device. The table is initially blank until you refresh the data by clicking Start Reading Input Data (refer to Section 5.2.2).

The table for the AI-207 board in this example has the following columns:

•Name is the channel name or a user-defined string.

•Value shows the measured input value.

•Degrees shows the temperature conv erted from the measured inpu t

value.

•Scale provides a pulldown menu to select temperature scale (°C, °F, °K, °R) on a per channel basis.

•Type provides a pulldown menu to select thermocouple type (B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, T) on a per channel basis.

5.3.4 Counter/Timer Board Settings

This section provides an overview of PowerDNA Explor er settings for counter/ timer boards. Each type of I/O board will have displays specific to the features offered with that board. In this section, we use the CT-601 as an example.

Figure 5-24. Example CT-601 Module

The CT-601 board has 8 counters. Each counter can be set to one of the different modes: Quadrature, Bin Counter, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Pulse Period, or Frequency.

When you change the mode of a counter using the mode pulldown menu, the controls for that counter will change to those appropriate for the mode.
