DO RATE Field
The DO RATE field specifies the minimum resolution of any pulse output for the controller. For
pulse train outputs, the pulse width and pulse interval as specified through the PO CHANNEL
NUMBER edit window of the Controller I/O Templet must be multiples of the DO Rate. For
pulse duration outputs, the duration value calculated by the Pulse Duration FCM is rounded to
the next lower multiple of the DO Rate.
Valid entry is:
a number of milliseconds as either 20, 40, 100, 200, or 1000
Default is: 20
NOTE
Digital inputs are scanned at one half the DO RATE. This is important because
using the DO RATE default value of 20 ms when no pulse outputs are present will
lead to a high CPU load. The scan rate for smart devices is not affected by the
DO RATE field.
3.3.4 MVI Module and Port Planning
The serial port parameters are specified on MVIBOARD and MVI_PORT objects. Each SHIM
connected to smart device requires a serial channel for which you define parameters via these
objects.
An Advant Controller 410 is equipped with either one or two MVI modules depending upon the
number of serial ports required. A MVIBOARD Templet must be completed for each MVI
module and an MVI_PORT Templet for each port of the MVI module.
An Advant Controller 460 can have up to 4 MVI modules (8 serial ports). One MVIBOARD
Templet is required for each MVI module and an MVI_PORT Templet for each port of the MVI
module.
