Manual ADC Read Using ACC-36E Structures
Power PMAC supports the following structures for manually reading ACC-36E:
ADC pair and convert code select
Ready-to-read bit for ADC#1 through #8
Ready-to-read bit for ADC#9 through #16
Read ADC#1 through #8 as unipolar
Read ADC#9 through #16 as unipolar
Read ADC#1 through #8 as bipolar
Read ADC#9 through #16 as bipolar
Read ADC pair as one word
n is the index specified by the DIP switch SW1 setting of the
ACC-36E.
Setting up the manual ADC read with Power PMAC requires two simple steps:
1. Configure ACC36E[n].ConvertCode = (ADC Pair #) – 1 for Unipolar Inputs
= (ADC Pair #) + 7 for Bipolar Inputs
Channel Select Pointer Value
2. Read/copy ADC data results as soon as the ADC Ready Bits are “ready” (that is, their
values become 1). This can be achieved easily in a Power PMAC script PLC, and
implemented for all channels to be read consecutively and consistently, creating a
“custom automatic” ADC read function.
