Select Data Types for Micro Field Processor Data
To configure BIU references for MFP data, use the cursor (F1, F2) keys to go through the available
MFP data types. On the example screen below, the displayed MFP data type is Q (discrete outputs).
If a data type has not been configured, or if it has been configured with a length of zero, the display
indicates that it is not assigned:
S:7 MFPQ1
< > chg entr
Unassigned
Currently-selected MFP
data type
Note that data from the BIU to the Micro Field Processor's discrete output ( Q ) table will always
start at Q00001 within the Micro Field Processor, as shown on the HHM screen above (MFPQ1).
Similarly, data from the Micro Field Processor discrete input ( I ) table to the BIU will always
come from the MFP starting at I00001 (which is indicated on the HHM as MFPI1).
If you do not want any reference parameters for a Micro Field Processor (if you are using Group
Moves to transfer all data between the MFP and the BIU), you must still configure at least one
reference parameter with a length of zero. The reference parameter configured with the zero length
will show as unassigned.
To assign references to the presently-displayed data type, press the F3 (change) key. the screen
displays:
S:7 MFPQ1 I
< > chg entr
Select table
Currently-selected table
in BIU
The upper right corner of the screen shows the BIU table type for the data. On the screen above, it
is the discrete input ( I ) table. Normally, the same data type is used in both the MFP and the BIU.
Use the F3 (change) key to choose the correct BIU table type.
The HHM then requests a length for that data type. This is the amount of data of the selected type
that will be exchanged with the BIU.
