Controlinc 1746-C (Version 5.21) Network Master Users Guide (2004-11-18)

1.4. EIM Equipment Compatibility

The 1746-C is compatible with the following EIM equipment:

• 320A … version 1.17 and later.

• 320B … all

• TEC2000 … all

Other points:

• The 1746-C derives the system type of each actuator during the diagnostic scan and stores the

results in table [18].

• The 1746-C derives the firmware Version ID for the 320A & 320B systems during the diagnostic

scan and stores the results in table [19].

• Since the TEC2000 system has several micro-controllers with firmware, a special request must

be made to them to derive the firmware version ID for each controller in the unit.

• The SSR bit is only checked and set on 320A actuators.

Note: For maximum compatibility with the TEC2000 systems, it is recommended that you enable

monitoring the TEC2000 Status Inputs (tables [21-24]). This way, you can ensure you have all

critical status information for any TEC2000 system on the network. For more information,

refer to the section on Tables [21-24].

Note: This document references the addressable memory ranges (“Memory Maps”) of several EIM

actuators (ex: M2CP–320B, TEC2000). This is only for the reader’s convenience. The

specific details in the memory maps are only correct as of the date this manual was published.

Therefore, to ensure you have the most current memory information, please refer to the

technical information for that particular actuator.

1.5. Firmware

The firmware is a “driver program” which is a compiled application program (not an interpreted one). It

is loaded and stored in the module's 32K EEPROM (A-B P/N 1747-M2). The user is required to

provide configuration information from the PLC Relay Ladder Logic (RLL) for each specific application

(the RLL must load table [0] with appropriate configuration information).
