IO117 - Setup
IO117 - Setup — Configure the IO117 input
block
Library
Simulink Real-Time - Speedgoat
Description
Your model can contain only one Setup block
for each I/O module in your target machine.
The Setup block dialog box allows all of the supported I/O types of this module to
be configured and therefore impacts the other driver blocks.
Ports
This driver block has no input or output ports.
Parameters
All configuration settings of the IO117 module are organized in the two tabs of
the Setup parameter dialog.
Main Tab
-
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.
-
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")
Analog Inputs Tab
-
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.
-
Voltage Range
Select the voltage range for the input channels: ±1V, ±2V,
±5V or ±10V.
The selection affects all channels at once. It is also possible to
configure them individually, see parameter 'Set Voltage Range per
Channel' for more information.
-
Input Coupling
Select the input coupling: Single-ended or Differential.
In single-ended mode, all 32 input channels are available. In
differential mode, only 16 channels can be used and channels 17 to 32
turn into the negative inputs for the first 16 channels. This selection
affects all channels at once. It is also possible to configure them
individually, see parameter 'Set Input Coupling per Channel' for more
information.
-
Automatic Data Correction
Enable or disable automatic data correction. When enabled, the factory
calibrated onboard correction values are used to correct every
analog-to-digital conversion.
-
Set Voltage Range per Channel
Enable this option to select the voltage range for every channel
individually. To set all channels at once, disable this option, set the
parameter 'Range Channel' and click on 'Apply'. This will also reset the
individual selection for the next time this option gets enabled.
-
Set Input Coupling per Channel
Enable this option to select the input coupling for every channel
individually. To set all channels at once, disable this option, set the
parameter 'Input Coupling' and click on 'Apply'. This will also reset
the individual selection for the next time this option gets
enabled.
