3 Installing the Multi-VGA or Video Card in an OSThe multi-VGA and Video cards are hardware options for the operator stations.This chapter describes the installation procedures for the following cards:

• The multi-VGA card (with either 2 or 4 channels)

• The Video card

Both cards can be installed and operated independently of each other. Videoimages can only be displayed on the monitor connected to the Video card.

If both cards are installed in one OS, a video image can only be displayed onone monitor at a time. An output on the multi-VGA card (Monitor 1, 2, 3, or 4)connects to the Video card, which in turn connects to a monitor. The monitoron which the signal will be displayed depends on the selected connection.

If the cards are to be installed in a PC other than an OS, the installation can beperformed in an empty slot. To our knowledge, there are no limitations to theinstallation.

By default, system windows are displayed on monitor 1. The “Mover” program(supplied with the multi-VGA card) allows you to display system windows inthe center of the monitor on which the mouse pointer is located.

4 Installation of the Signal Module in an OS andDescription of its Functions

The signal module is an OS hardware option that can be installed in any emptyslot of an OS. This hardware option is not intended for use on the OP47(Operator Panel).

The signal module is inserted into the motherboard of the OS. If the OS is to beoperated as a server with multiple terminals, each terminal can contain anadditional signal module.

If the signal module is to be installed in a PC other than an OS, the installationcan be performed in an empty slot. To our knowledge, there are no limitationsto the installation.

To operate the signal module, follow these steps.

• Installation of the signal module

• Testing of the signal module

4.1 Signal Module Usage

The signal module controls up to three different indicator devices (horns,buzzers, lights. etc.) with the option of connecting a hardwareacknowledgment-switch. The module also contains a hardware timer(watchdog), which is triggered cyclically by WinCC-RT via a driver-API call,and 3 universal binary inputs. The signal module, with an 8-bit ISA businterface, was especially developed for operator stations.

To operate the signal module in runtime, a “Basic Process Control”authorization is required.

Operating the SignalModule



The signal module is a WinCC hardware option and requires the “BasicProcess Control” options package. The general system structure andinstallation possibilities of the signal module are illustrated below:



4.2 Installing the Signal Module

The installation is carried out in four steps

1. Hardware Installation:The signal module card is inserted into an ISA-slot on the OS’smotherboard. A free ISA-slot is required. If the OS is to be used as aserver-OS with several connected terminals (client-OS), each terminal canalso contain a signal module. Before installing the card, check if theaddresses (default addresses) used by the card are available. If the defaultaddresses are not available, the card’s addresses have to be changed via theDIP-switches.

2. Hardware Setup:After inserting the signal module card, its functions can be tested from theWindows95/NT 4.0 “Control Panel” (on the Windows95/NT 4.0 taskbar,click on “Start” -> point on “Settings” -> double click on “Control Panel).

Double click on the icon in the control panel to open the “SignalUnit Hardware Setup” dialog box. The signal module’s hardware setup canbe performed in this dialog.

Configuration via the “Alarm Logging Wizard”:The “Alarm Logging Wizard” generates the internal tags“@Signal1” to “@Signal3” for controlling external signal transmitters, andthe internal tags “@SignalInput1” to “@SignalInput3” for recognizingexternal switches. Additionally, the wizard enters the “htmrt.exe” programinto the computer startup tab.

3.1 In the project navigation window, double click on “Editor” - allinstalled editors will be listed.

3.2 Double click on the optional “Base Data” editor - all installedcomponents will be listed.

3.3 In the project navigation window, right mouse button click on the“Alarm Logging Wizard” editor.

3.4 In the following pop-up menu, click on the menu point “Open”.

3.5 In the first dialog page, the “Audible Indicator Connection” must beactivated (click on “Next” to go to the next dialog page).

Procedure



3.6 In the third dialog page, the internal tags can be assigned to themessage classes.

In the “Active Signal” column, right mouse button click on the row of the

corresponding message class. Afterwards, click on the button, andselect the desired tag from the displayed list.

The signal module comes with factory-set jumpers (jumpers placed on pin 1and 2, on a 3-pin jumper). The jumpers are not labeled, pin 1 is always towardsthe ISA-bus interface connection, with pin 2 located above pin 1.

Example: Jumper X114

Overview



The audible indicator, watchdog, jumper controls and addressing functions areset via jumpers.

Structure/Meaning ofthe Jumpers/DIP-Switches/Interfaces



4.2.2 Addressing of the Signal Module

The signal module can either be addressed in the I/O or memory region of aPC. The base address for both addressing types are set by the DIP-switch S1.The switch occupies 16 bytes in the 0000H-03FFH I/O region and 1 kbyte inthe C0000H-FFFFFH memory region. The kernel driver exclusively uses theI/O addressing type.

Jumper Pin MeaningX10 placed Addressing in the I/O region

not placed Addressing in the memory region

The signal module manages 12 address lines in the I/O addressing mode, ofthose, the first 4 lines (A0 - A3) are used for switching the 16 requiredindividual addresses. These 4 address lines can not be set by DIP-switches.This results in the following assignment of switches to address lines (describedin general above):

A-Line 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0Switch 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - - - -

Set I/O addresses as follows:

• Select the I/O address (i.e. 180h); to avoid I/O address conflicts, thisaddress must not be already in use on the same PC.

• Convert the I/O address into a binary format (180 = 0001 1000 0000); tosimplify the conversion view each HEX-digit as a 4-bit block.

• Set or remove the individual address bits via the DIP-switches (NOTE: the4 lower bits can not be set by DIP-switches).

Example: I/O Address 180h (Default setting):

Switch 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Setting OFF OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF OFF

Example: I/O Address 100h (0001 0000 0000):Switch 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Setting OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF

4.2.3 Pin Assignment of the external Interface

External switching of the audible indicator and channel outputs takes placedirect - every contact controls one indicator device. The main and all detailcontacts will be reset by the control software after acknowledgment. A daisy-chain connection of the audible indicator’s main contact to the detail contactsis not required. An error message always sets the main contact and its assigneddetail contact. Acknowledgments can take place via the acknowledgment-inputor be triggered by the software.

The following table lists the pin assignments (to which external devices likelights, buzzers, ringers, buttons, etc. are connected) of the 25-pin SUB-Dconnector:

Pin Signal DescriptionHousing Shield1 Audible indicator M Middle contact relay2 + Resetting output Optical coupler3 - Resetting output Optical coupler4 + Resetting output Optical coupler5 - Resetting output Optical coupler6 Audible indicator D Deactivated contact relay7 Audible indicator A Activated contact relay8 Watchdog M Middle contact relay9 Watchdog D Deactivated contact relay10 Watchdog A Activated contact relay11 + BI 112 - BI 113 + BI 2 Binary inputs Optical coupler14 + BI 315 - BI 316 Output 1 M Middle contact relay17 Output 1 A Activated contact relay18 Output 1 D Deactivated contact relay19 Output 2 M Middle contact relay20 Output 2 A Activated contact relay21 Output 2 D Deactivated contact relay22 Output 3 M Middle contact relay23 Output 3 A Activated contact relay24 Output 3 D Deactivated contact relay25 - BI 2 Binary inputs

Interface (X1) PinAssignment



• Connect the main indicator device to the signal module’s main contact; thisdevice will respond every time the detail contact is set (every time thesignal module acknowledges an alarm).

• You can connect any indicator device (lights, buzzers, etc.) to the detailcontact.

• You can connect a device to the watchdog alarm output that will betriggered if the corresponding signal module stops triggering, which occursduring an OS failure.

• You can connect any indicator device to the inputs - be aware that inWinCC the first input is designated for an OLM.

• The signal module can by default only be reset by one of the followingmethods: the module is either reset by the control software (driver) or anexternal acknowledgment switch. If both methods are to be usedsimultaneously, follow these steps:

• At jumper X114, connect pins 1-2 and 3-4 together (seecorresponding description above), which enables theacknowledgment via an external switch.

• Connect an external switch to the reset input and route thecorresponding cable to the reset output.
