11.13 INTERFACE FUNCTIONS FOR NGM13-NGMEVO-NGQ-NGQx

This group of functions allows the interfacing to the hardware resource of NGM13 systems. When this target is selected

the OBJECT NGM13_INIT NGMEVO_INIT is automatically loaded. It defines the hardware configuration of the device.

Hardware NGM13-NGMEVO

NGM13_INIT PROPERTY-NGMEVO_INIT PROPERTY

The object provides a complete vision of all the software option to be set for the correct use of NGM13-NGMEVO.

In detali it allows to set:

 Enabling of the communication protocol RPC (PROMAX proprietary), with relative baudrate

 Which and how many analog inputs are configured

 The step/dir axis to be used and which are in interpolation mode

 Number of expansion cards

Obviously, for each single project there will be only an object NGM init.

Property

Link RPC port Serial port RS232 on which enable the RPC protocol to manage an HOST PC

connection. These are the available options:

0 No RPC Link

1 RPC on serial port SER1/PROG (the DEBUG facilities will be disable and the

application download must be done by manual keys BOOT/RESET of the NGM13.

2 RPC on serial port SER2

The NGMEVO Board has the link RPC always activated on ETHERNET

Link RPC baud Baud rate to be used for RPC communication

ADC enable mask Enabling mask of analog inputs. It is processed at bit.

Bit 0 Enables analog input 1 (digital input 9 is disabled)

Bit 1 Enables analog input 2 (digital input 10 is disabled)

. . .

Bit 7 Enables analog input 8 (digital input 16 is disabled)

P-P enable mask Enabling mask of step/dir channels. It is processed at bit.

Bit 0 Enables channel 0

Bit 1 Enables channel 1 (digital outputs 9 and 12 are disabled)

Bit 2 Enables channel 2 (digital outputs 10 and 13 are disabled)

Bit 3 Enables channel 3 (digital outputs 11 and 14 are disabled)

P-P Interp. Mask Enabling mask of step/dir channel in interpolation mode. It is processed at bit.

Bit 0 Channel 0 in interpolation mode

Bit 1 Channel 1 in interpolation mode

Bit 2 Channel 2 in interpolation mode

Bit 3 Channel 3 in interpolation mode

Num. NGM-IO Number of expansion cards NGM-IO or NGM-PS. Remember that 16 inputs and 14

output are available with the NGM13 without any expansion. It must not be

considered.

L-Sync enable mask Enabling mask of L-SYNC channels

Bit 0 Enables channel 0 (digital output 1 is disabled)

Bit 1 Enables channel 1 (digital output 2 is disabled)

Bit 2 Enables channel 2 (digital output 3 is disabled)

Bit 3 Enables channel 3 (digital output 4 is disabled)
