A-B SuperBridge Technical Reference

DEVICE=KTX Must be present if KTX Card is used to interface with DH+.

MEMORY=D700 Must correspond to the memory address DIP switch setting on the KTX

card. D700 is the default. See Install the KTX Card, if used (page 4).

IRQ=5 Must correspond to the position of the IRQ jumper on the KTX card. 5 is

the default. Install the KTX Card, if used (page 4).

STATION=71 This is the station number for SB. See Assign Station Numbers (page 9)

NAME=SUPERB This is the name that will appear on DH+ for SB. Running a DH+

interrogation software, such as A-B ‘WHO’ will show this name. If more

than one SB is connected to DH+, it is a good idea to edit this name.

TERMINATION=OFF If SB is connected at the end of the DH+ network and no terminating

resistor in installed, set this entry to “YES”. See [3], page 11-1.

The following is an example of a CFG_KT.INI file that is configured for DH485 communication

using a PIC Module.

DEVICE=PIC

IRQ=4

COM_PORT=1

STATION=22

MAXNADDR=037

NAME=SB_485

Entries in CFG_KT.INI are

[DTL_p.n] Device definition statement. Protocol designators (p) can be KT, 485, or

DF1 depending on communication method used. Pushwheel numbers

(n) may range from 1 to 8. Each communication interface module must

have a unique pushwheel number.

DEVICE=PIC Must be present if DH485 network, which requires PIC Module, is to be

used.

BAUD=19200 The transmission rate of the DH485 link. The choices available are:

300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps.

IRQ=4 Must correspond to the COMM port being used for DH485

communication.

COM_PORT=1 COMM port to be used for DH485 communication.

STATION=22 This is the station number for SB. See Assign Station Numbers (page 9)

MAXNADDR=037 The maximum node address is the highest station number used on the

DH485 link. The number can range from 000 to 037 octal.

NAME=SB_485 This is the name that will appear on DH485 for SB. Running a DH485

interrogation software, such as A-B ‘WHO’ will show this name. If more

than one SB is connected to DH485, it is a good idea to edit this name.

The following is an example of a CFG_KT.INI file that is configured for DF1 communication.
