DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION
You may enable or disable Dynamic Configuration for the V78 CRM-1. Dynamic
configuration mode allows non-verbose or "on-the-fly" configuration commands to be
issued to the V78 CRM-1. The default Dynamic Configuration setting is disabled.
DATA COMMANDS
You may issue V78 CRM-1 data commands through a host module to perform single
operations while temporarily overriding the module's current operating configuration.
Some data commands apply to all types of DAC modules, while others apply to
specific modules. Data commands may be entered repeatedly to get specific data
messages or to direct the V78 CRM-1's actions. You may issue a single data
command for action on multiple relays. Data commands must be used to obtain data
messages when using Command Reporting Method.
V78 CRM-1 data commands are sent through a host module using the following
procedure:
1. Select the V78 CRM-1 from the host module by sending a select
sequence which consists of the port select code ($BT - default), the
appropriate unit number followed by a colon (01: to 30: for
cascaded units only), the desired module number (2 to 16), and
<cr> (0D Hex). For example, to select a V78 CRM-1 installed as
Module 15 in a non-cascaded unit using the default port select code,
send $BT15<cr>.
2. Once the V78 CRM-1 is selected, it will go into
Command Mode and allow you to send data commands.
The V78 CRM-1 data commands begin with two capital
letters designating the specific command and are
terminated with a <cr>. Most data commands also
require a number between the command letters and
<cr>. This number is typically the desired relay(s) for
the data command. If you have a requirement to send
the data command to multiple relays simultaneously,
you may use one of the following formats as shown for
the SA (sample) command:
SA1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8<cr> Take a single sample for Ports 1-8
SA1-8<cr> Take a single sample for Ports 1-8
SA/0<cr> Take a single sample for Ports 1-8
