IO754 - Setup v2

IO754 - Setup v2 — Configure the IO754 I/O module

Library

Simulink Real-Time - Speedgoat

Description

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

Ports

This driver block has no input or output ports.

Parameters

Tab: Configuration
Module ID

The Module ID has two functions:

  • It logically connects 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 family is installed, the Module ID must be set to 1. To see how each I/O module maps to a Module ID, use this Speedgoat API:

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

This Setup block belongs to two families of I/O modules that use the same hardware for multiple protocols. Across both families, the Module ID must be unique.

  • IO64X/IO75X (single-node modules): IO641, IO642, IO643, IO644, IO750, IO751, IO752, IO753, IO754, IO755, IO756, IO758

  • IO64X-32/IO75X-32 (multi-node modules): IO642-32, IO752-32, IO754-32, IO756-32

If the PCI Slot parameter is set to -1 (auto-search), the Module ID must be in the range 1:n, where 'n' cannot be larger than the number of modules of this type installed in the target machine. Not all installed I/O modules need to be used.

To use this Setup block with a multi-node I/O module (IO75X-32 family), the Module ID must be defined as a two-element vector. The second vector element is the sub-module ID. It describes the specific node (1:32) within the I/O module. The 32 nodes are internally connected to form two linear networks (daisy-chain), where the first and the last node of both chains are externally accessible. If one node is not configured (has no Setup block), the chain terminates at this point. The sub-module IDs must therefore start at node 1, 16, 17 or 32 and not have any gaps.

[Note]Note

When using I/O modules of both families simultaneously (single-node and multi-node I/O modules), always use explicit addressing in the PCI Slot parameter. Ignore the Module IDs returned by the getIoInterfaces function and instead assign unique Module IDs accross all modules used.

This parameter is obsolete and will be removed. Please always select Warmstart.

PCI Slot (-1: auto-search)

There are two approaches for mapping the block to a specific I/O module installed in your target machine. All modules of the same family (see Module ID above) 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 family, the Module ID (first vector element for a multi-node module) 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.

Operation Mode

Please refer to the chapter about the operation modes in the Usage Notes for further information.

  • IO mode

  • Message mode

Bus Startup

Communication starts:

  • Automatically

Data Swap

Data storage mode:

  • Data will not be swapped (No)

  • Data will be swapped (Yes)

This parameter determines whether register data will be swapped between the application context and network transportation or not. The swap option is valid for both directions: sending and receiving. This means that if the swap option is enabled, the register values from the application context will be swapped before they are sent to the network. All the register values received from the network will be swapped before they are submitted to the application context. The register values of Open Modbus/TCP are usually specified in MSB format. The applications, however, in most cases are in LSB format.

Map FC1 and FC3

If set, the function codes FC1 and FC3 are mapped to the TX data area of the dual-port memory instead of to the RX data area.

[Note]Note

Only available in IO mode

Provided Server Connections

Maximum number of ModbusTCP clients allowed to connect to the present server module: 1 to 16

IP Address

Only available if "BootP" and "DHCP" are not set.

Netmask

Only available if "BootP" and "DHCP" are not set.

Gateway

Only available if "BootP" and "DHCP" are not set.

BootP

If set, the device obtains its IP Address, Netmask and Gateway Address from a BOOTP server.

DHCP

If set, the device obtains its IP Address, Netmask and Gateway Address from a DHCP server.
