Functional Specifications

The MVI46-ADM API Suite allows software developers

access to the top layer of the SLC backplane and serial

ports. The MVI46-ADMNET API suite accesses the

Ethernet port and serial ports.

Both APIs can be easily used without having detailed

knowledge of the module's hardware design. The

Ethernet Port API provides access to the Ethernet

network. Applications for the MVI46-ADMNET module

may be developed using industry-standard DOS

programming tools and the appropriate API components.

The MVI46-ADMNET module has three serial ports, two

of which are isolated for field interfaces, and one

Ethernet port.

•

CFG -- debug/configuration -- RS-232

•

PRT1 -- Application -- RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485

•

PRT2 -- Application -- RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485

•

Ethernet Port

PRT1 and PRT2 are jumper configured for direct or

Multi-drop field communication. The application program

can be written to control the two application ports

independently, allowing maximum flexibility in the

design.

General Protocol Specifications

•

Allows software developers to access Rockwell

Automation backplane and Serial/Ethernet ports to

communicate with various field devices, without

needing detailed knowledge of the module's

hardware design

•

API library functions are specified using the C

programming language syntax

•

The following compiler versions are compatible with

the MVI module API:

o

Digital Mars C++ 8.49

o

Borland C++ V5.02

ADM API Libraries

Each API provides a library of function calls. This library

supports any programming language that is compatible

with the Pascal calling convention.

•

Initialization – Open and close the API

•

Debug Port – Debug port user interface

•

Database – Read and write data to database

•

Timer – Start and check timers

•

Backplane – Transfer data over the backplane

•

LED – Set user LED indicators

•

Flash – Parse configuration files

•

Miscellaneous – Configure the console
