Omega Vehicle Security OMP-MODL MLIM-5 Pcmcia Memory Card Module, Configuration of the MLIM-5

3... INTERFACE MODULES

MLIM-5; PCMCIA MEMORY CARD MODULE

Overview:

The MLIM-5 is a special function Interface Module for use with the OMP- MODL System Base. The MLIM-5 provides capability to record data to a removable SRAM based memory card (Omega Engineering Part Numbers; MC-50, MC-100, MC-200) rather than to internal OMP-MODL memory. The data on the collected memory card can then be read viaa serial connection to the logger (modem or RS-232) or removed and inserted/read with a PD-1, PCMCIA Drive, installed (connected to) on a PC.

The MLIM-5 can also be provided with a 2400B (P/N: MLIM-5-2400) or

14.4Kbaud modem (P/N: MLIM-5-144). This section’s PCMCIA discussion is pertinent to these modules and the modem aspects are detailed in following sections.

Module Installation:

Installation of the MLIM-5 into the OMP-MODL System Base is unique in that it requires a special set of signals only available from the connector on the MLCPU-1 module. For this reason, the MLIM-5 can only be installed between the MLCPU-1 module and the MLAD-1 module as shown in Figure 3... -4.

Refer to the Installation Section earlier in this chapter for detailed installation instructions for installing the Module into the System Base.

Configuration of the MLIM-5:

The presence of a MLIM-5 is detected automatically by the OMP-MODL upon power-up. No additional software or hardware configuration of the module is necessary.

If the OMP-MODL is equipped with a ML-DISP display module, detection and initialization of the MLIM-5 can be observed on the LCD at power-up. In loggers so equipped, at power-up, a Modem Baud Rate Test... message will display indicating that the logger has detected the presence of the MLIM-5 card and is testing it for modem presence. After a short wait, the display will indicate No Modem Detected, 2400 Baud Modem Detected, or 14.4 Baud Modem Detected as the case may be...then proceed to further initialization steps.

Operation of the MLIM-5 and PCMCIA Memory Card:

For full details on the configuration and use of the PCMCIA card, refer to Chapter 6.
