b. holdoff
holdoff is the number of clock ticks required “below” the event level to
allow another event. Valid range: 1 - 65535. This corresponds to a range of
62.5 milliseconds to 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds.
c. bit-name
Bit Name I/O; Voltage Range Definition Description
BIT0-
BIT15
Status Register Bits
0 or
1
The bit names BIT0, BIT1, …through BIT15
correspond to the bits of the 16-bit status register.
BIT0 is the low order bit, BIT15 is the high order bit.
DTR
Input; TTL 0V to 5V
Data
Terminal
Ready
RS
-
232 serial port signal indicating the data terminal
connected to the serial port is ready and able to
receive data from the MCC-545C (dataset) on Rx
Data.
RTS
Input; RS 232 ±10V
Request
to Send
RS
-
232 serial port signal indicating the data terminal
connected to the serial port wants to transmit data
to the MCC-545C (dataset) on Tx Data.
CTS
Output; TTL 0V to 5V
Clear to
Send
RS
-
232 serial port signal indicating the MCC
-
545C
(dataset) is ready and able to receive data from the
data terminal connected to the serial port on Tx
Data.
RING
Output; RS-232 ±10V
Ring
Detected
RS
-
232 serial port signal indicating the MCC
-
545C
(dataset) is wants the attention of the data terminal
connected to the serial port.
MCLK
Output; TTL 0V to 5V
Clock
These three signals can be used as individual inputs
and outputs as noted. In addition they can be used to
communicate with the external I/O expander using a
clocked serial high speed data stream.
MDIR
Output; TTL 0V to 5V
Data In
MSET
Input; TTL 0V to 5V
Data Out
IN1,IN2
IN3,IN4
Optically Isolated
Inputs 0-5 Volts
0 or 1
Typically requires an input greater than 1 volt to
trigger an input transition from 0 to 1.
RO1,RO2
Relay Contacts
NO,NC
Provides NO,COM,NC contacts
GPS
GPS status
0 or 1
Current GPS receiver status and RS
-
232 port
condition. 0=V0 or RS-232 disconnected. 1=V1 or V2
and RS-232 connected.
NET
Network Status
0 or 1
Network online/offline status
.
0=offline , 1=online
T1 – T8
32-bit Timers can be
used both as an Input
and as an Output.
Timers range from 0
to 16,777,216 counts.
(12 days, 2 hrs, 18
min, 58.5 seconds)
0 or n
Timer registers
.
When these are set to a non
-
zero
value, they will count down one count for each 1/16
second (62.5 milliseconds).
Use action = SET, T1, nnnn to start counting. These
all are set=0 on reset. Power fail/restart will retain
the count at power fail.
