From rel 7-5-0 added a new web application that permits the handling of analog and digital I/O made available with the following hardware:
MFIO embedded in Microabilis-C3
IOBOX
The application permits:
use of .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp images as background.
a visual creation of maps (up to 10) and the placement on the map of indicators and actuators.
drive toggle or pulse output just by clicking on the icon
"by user" access rights to the maps, and different rights for design and for control.
The urls used by IO are:
/sys/io : main page
/sys/io/control/map<X> : control maps , where <X> is the map number between 1 and 10
/sys/io/design/map<X> : design maps , where <X> is the map number between 1 and 10
real-time indication of states and values of the monitored I/O
configurable labels
javascript required (recent version of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE 7/8/9)
See below a couple of example screenshots.
Software Resource Gpio
From rel 7-5-0 added handling of analog inputs values.
Analog signals are digitalized by ADC converters present in the interface hardware. The numerical value is read by Abilis and converted to the measure unit by means of the analog input configuration parameters:
UNITMeasure unit
MINThe lowest value, in measure unit, to be assigned to DAC value 0.
MAXThe highest value, in measure unit, to be assigned to DAC value 1023.
UPDWhen monitored via GPIOPC protocol this is the difference that must occur between current value and previously read value in order to deliver the new value to the GPIOPC client.
When analog inputs are monitored via GPIOPC two more parameters are involved:
UPDDifference that must occur between current value and previously read value in order to deliver the new value to the GPIOPC client.
POOLInterval between values read.
Added handling of analog inputs alarms.
The measured analog values are verified against thresholds in order to generate LOW and HIGH alarms.
Analog alarms parameters:
UNITMeasure unit
ALM-LOThe value, in measure unit, below which the ALARM LOW is triggered.
ALM-HIThe value, in measure unit, above which the ALARM HIGH is triggered.
HISTHysteresis for ALM-LO and ALM-HI for returning to NORMAL state.
Added PULSE mode for digital output.
Three parameters have been added:
MODETo choose between VALUE operational mode and PULSE.
PULSE-TThe duration of the pulse, in milliseconds.
PULSE-GAPThe minimal guaranteed pause between two pulses, in milliseconds.
Configuration example.
