Multiprocessor Operation/Coordinators

The semaphores are used to coordinate the CPUs for access to the same I/O address (see Programming Guides, operations SES and SEF).

Addressing method for the page memory (vector register)

 

The vector register serves to form subaddresses of several memories in a

 

common address area. The register is an 8-bit register which is written to

 

under address FEFFH. It cannot be read out.

 

The page memory contains four pages of 1 Kbyte. An identification number

 

is assigned to each page. These are the numbers 252, 253, 254 and 255.

 

These numbers are permanently set on the COR 923C and cannot be

 

changed. You must not use these numbers on other modules (CP, IP) in the

 

same PLC otherwise double addressing will occur.

 

When the supply voltage is switched on, the vector register is cleared. The

 

vector register then has the number 0H.

 

The transfer of data to and from this memory is implemented with special

 

functions of the CPU. You can find these functions in the appropriate

 

Programming Guides.

PG Multiplexer

The PG interface of the COR 923C can be switched over to eight different

 

serial interfaces via the path selection of the PG software.

 

The multiplex interfaces have TTL level and are wired to the other modules

 

via the backplane connector and backplane.
