Description

The OP7160EX1 Digital Out block is used to transfer 0/1 values to be applied to the digital output channels of OP5354 module (16 Digital Out conditioning module) installed on OP7220 Compact Universal Carrier. OP7220 Universal Carrier is connected to OP7160 board via OP7000 I/O box.

The data values are transferred to the OP7160 bitstream from the RT-LAB model through one DataIn port of the bitstream, via the PCIe bus of the target computer.

Each OP7160 bitstream using Digital Output channels comes with a configuration file which lists the Data port number and the corresponding OP5354 location in the system. The configuration file name is the same as the bitstream file name entered in the OpCtrl OP7160EX1 block, with the extension .conf instead of .bin.

This configuration file uses three parameters to describe the selection of the OP525x channels:

the Slot number (in the range 1 to 16) determines the location of OP5354 module in OP7000 I/O box.
the Side (A/B) is obsolete for the OP7000 I/O box.- the Sub-Section, 1 to 2, is a subset of 8 data values connected to the DataIn port: subset 1 returns values for the 8 first channels of one section of the OP5354, subset 2 returns values for the 8 next channels, etc.

The user must refer to the configuration file (opened with any text editor) for selecting the DataIn port number for the desired Digital Output channels. The OP7160EX1 Digital Out block then parses the configuration file and displays the Slot, Section and Sub-section values corresponding to the DataIn port number in the Slot info parameter.

The maximum number of Digital Output channels controlled by one OP7160EX1 Digital Out is limited by the size of the subset of channels in one sub-section. This number can vary between 1 and 32 and is usually set to 8.

Parameters

Controller Name	Bind this block to an OpCtrl OP7160EX1 block by entering the same 'Controller Name' as specified in the OpCtrl OP7160EX1 block The OpCtrl OP7160EX1 block controls initialization of the settings of one specific OP7160 card in the system.
DataIn port number	Enter the number of the DataIn port to be controlled by this block, in the range [1:32].
Slot info	This non-editable parameter displays the physical location of the digital output channels related to the selected DataIn port, as obtained from the parsing of the configuration file.
Maximum number of DOut channels controlled by this block	This non-editable parameter displays the number of channels in one sub-section listed in the configuration file.
Number of DOut channels	Enter the number of channels for which data values will be transmitted at each calculation step. This number must be less than or equal to the value of the Maximum number of DOut channels parameter. The data transfer mechanism between RT-LAB and the OP7160 does not allow the selection of individual channels in the sub-section of channels. The data supplied by the block will thus apply to the N first channels of the sub-section, where N is the value of the 'Number of DOut channels' parameter.

Inputs

Vals: This input supplies the 0/1 values for the subset of channels selected.

Outputs

Status: This output returns the following values:

Value	Description
0	No error.
-1	Block could not be matched with an OpCtrl OP7160EX1 block (check the 'controller Name' value), or OP7160 card initialization problem.
-2	Internal memory initialization problem.
