IO110 - Setup

IO110 - Setup — Configure the IO110 input/output blocks

Library

Simulink Real-Time - Speedgoat

Description

Your model can contain only one Setup block for each I/O module in your target machine.

All the supported I/O types for this module can be configured in the Setup block dialog box. This block will therefore have an impact on all the Analog output driver blocks.

Ports

This driver block has no input or output ports.

Parameters

Parameter Group

This control selects an I/O section, the parameters of which are then shown in the dialog box below the "Parameter group" field. The possible groups are:

  • Module setup

  • Quad-DAC 1 (channels 1 – 4)

  • Quad-DAC 2 (channels 5 – 8)

  • Quad-DAC 3 (channels 9 – 12)

  • Quad-DAC 4 (channels 13 – 16)

  • Quad-DAC 5 (channels 17 – 20)

  • Quad-DAC 6 (channels 21 – 24)

  • Quad-DAC 7 (channels 25 – 28)

  • Quad-DAC 8 (channels 29 – 32)

Parameter Group: Module Setup
Module ID

The Module ID has two functions:

  • It defines the logical connection between the Setup block and its I/O blocks

  • It also informs the auto-search feature of the PCI Slot parameter. If only one I/O module of this type is installed, the Module ID must be set to 1. If n modules are installed, it must be in the range 1:n. Not all the I/O modules installed in the target machine need to be used. To see how each I/O module maps to a Module ID, use this Speedgoat API: 

    speedgoat.getIoInterfaces("TargetName", "mySpeedgoat")
Active Channels

Select the active input/output channels in a vector. A defined number of channels can be selected using square brackets, for example [1 2 3]. A sequence of channels can be selected using a colon, for example, 1:4.

Initial Values

Define the initial signal level present on the outputs after the application has been downloaded. The values can be set individually by entering a vector: the value at a certain position in the Initial Values vector is applied to the channel as defined in the Active Channels vector. A scalar value applies to all the channels; for example, for individual values, type "[1 1.5 0 2.5]", and to set all channels to zero, type "0".

Reset to Initial Values

Define whether the initial values are also applied once the application has stopped. The behavior can be set individually for each channel using a vector. A scalar value applies to all the channels; for example, for individual values, type "[1 0 0 1]", and to set all channels to zero, type "0". "1" means use the Initial Value and "0" means keep the latest value.

PCI Slot (-1: auto-search)

There are two approaches for mapping this block to a specific I/O module installed in your target machine. All modules of the same type must be configured using the same method.

  • Auto-Search: with the default value -1 the I/O module will be automatically located in the target machine. If you have multiple modules of the same kind, the Module ID defines which module is associated with this block. To see how each I/O module maps to a Module ID, use this Speedgoat API: 

    speedgoat.getIoInterfaces("TargetName", "mySpeedgoat")

  • Explicit Addressing: to explicitly define the logical address of the I/O module in the target machine, you can provide the PCI bus and slot numbers as a vector: [bus, slot]. To determine these numbers, run the following command in the MATLAB command window: 

    speedgoat.getIoInterfaces("TargetName", "mySpeedgoat", "Advanced", true)

    Note that the PCI address can change whenever an I/O module is added or removed – usually, auto-search is the best option.

Parameter Group: Quad-DAC n
Range Channel n

Select one of the four available analog output ranges. The selected range applies to the specified channel only. Each of the 32 channels can have its own specific range.

Enable Thermal Shutdown

When checked, thermal shutdown mode for this Quad-DAC (group of 4 channels) is enabled. The Quad-DAC will automatically go into stand-by mode if the maximum device temperature is exceeded.

Enable Clamp (20mA current limit)

When checked, clamp mode for this Quad-DAC (group of 4 channels) is enabled. The Quad-DAC will limit the output current of each of the four channels to 20 mA.
