The TERMINAL keyword should now be used to turn on the appropriate terminal devices.
For example, type:
TERMINAL = _tmLCD1 OR _tmRS232
PRINT ”Hello”
The keyword TERMINAL is used to set the terminal input/output channels for the MintDrive.
By default the MintDrive is assigned to communicate with only the RS232, RS485 and CAN1 channels,
so it must be set to communicate with a KeypadNode.
Hello will appear on the RS232 port and the LCD display of KeypadNode.
Any key presses from the KeypadNode or the PC keyboard (on the RS232 port) will now be displayed
on the PC screen and the KeypadNode.
The group of four code lines on page 124 can be added to the configuration file or a program.
Now the KeypadNode has been configured onto the bus, other Mint terminal keywords such as
PRINT#, INKEY, LOCATE and CLS canbeused. SeetheCAN Peripherals Installation Manual and the
Mint Programming Guide for more details about the KeypadNode and its associated keywords.
B.3.12 ioNode 24/24
ioNode 24/24 supports 24 input channels and 24 output channels.
Inputs are opto-isolated and are organized into three banks of eight, each bank having its own common
connection. Outputs are opto -isolated and are organized into three banks of eight. This makes ioNode
24/24 electrically equivalent to 3 InputNode8 plus 3 OutputNode8. The pin numbering of connectors
and the functions of the jumpers and CAN LEDs have been made as similar as possible in all products.
For full details see the CAN Peripherals Guide.
The node can be configured using the methods described in the previous sections, using a NODETYPE
of _ntIONODE24_24.
