Accessing Bus Configurations on PCMCIA and SCY 21601 Cards

Introduction

For all communication buses other than those described before, configuration access is done via the hardware configuration of the module (TSX SCY 21601) or PCMCIA card concerned. The following pages describe how to create a new bus by declaring a PCMCIA card, and then how to access the bus configuration.

How to Create a New Communication Bus

The table below describes the actions to be taken to create a communication bus.

Step	Action
1	Double-click the slot of the PCMCIA card that is to manage the desired communication bus (in a TSX SCY 21601 module or in a processor). Result:
2	Select the type of bus management card desired. Result: The communication bus is created. It must now be configured - to do so, follow the procedure described in the following paragraph.

How to Configure a Communication Bus

The table below describes the actions to be taken to configure a communication bus:

Step	Action
1	Double-click the slot of the PCMCIA card that is to manage the desired communication bus. Result: A window that resembles the following is displayed:.
2	Select the channel and the desired function (for example, Modbus). Result: A window that resembles the following is displayed. The bus must now be configured according to the project parameters:.
