sp5606
SCADAPack 5606 I/O module
Description
The sp5606 I/O module is comprised of four different types of I/O channels. The
SCADAPack 5606 I/O hardware contains eight analog inputs, two optional analog outputs,
forty digital inputs and sixteen digital outputs. Each of these types of I/O is represented as a
sub module in the sp5606 I/O module. These sub modules are named AIN for analog input
I/O channels, AOUT for analog output I/O channels, DIN for digital input I/O channels and
DOUT for digital output I/O channels.
AIN Sub Module
The AIN sub-module provides eight I/O channels for the analog input data from the
SCADAPack 5606 I/O hardware. Data for each of the eight I/O channels may be connected
to user-defined variables with the I/O connection editor. Connected variables are updated
continuously with data from the SCADAPack 5606 I/O hardware.
In addition to the eight I/O channels the AIN sub-module provides I/O Board parameters that
include module address, the type of analog output signal, filtering used by all analog inputs
and the scan frequency.
The module_address parameter defines the module address of the sp5606 I/O module.
The address on the module is selected via dipswitches on the module. A maximum of eight
SCADAPack 5606 I/O type modules may be added to a system.
 To set the module address, click the module address icon and then select the set /
channel parameter command from the Edit menu. The I/O Board parameter dialog is
opened as shown below.
 Enter the module address, 0 through 7, in the Value: entry field and click OK.
The ain0_type parameter sets the analog input type for analog input channel 1. There are
four input types available.
 An ain_type of 0 sets the input type to measure 0 to 5V input signals.
 An ain_type of 1 sets the input type to measure 1 to 5V input signals.
 An ain_type of 2 sets the input type to measure 0 to 20mA input signals.
 An ain_type of 3 sets the input type to measure 4 to 20mA input signals.
 To set the ain0_type parameter, click the ain0_type icon and then select the set /
channel parameter command from the Edit menu. The I/O Board parameter dialog is
opened as shown below.
