Technical info
Digital I/O
Figure 1 shows the pinout scheme of the digital I/O of the RZ6, in the lower left corner of Figure 6. Figure 13 and Figure 2 give the connection scheme of the RZ6 to the multiplexers, response box and Refa. See also Figure 10. PP refers to: “Patch Panel”, a switchboard with connectors.
Multiplexer control
Byte-C is for multiplexer control. Four PM2R multiplexer can be controlled via this output. The fifth and sixth bit of byte-C codes for the PM2R device ID (0-3). The first four bits for the channel number. Only one channel can be open at a time for each PM2R. The seventh bit opens the channel and the eighth bit closes it.
| Bit number | Integer value | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Bit 1 (least significant bit) of channel number |
| 1 | 2 | Bit 2 of channel number |
| 2 | 4 | Bit 3 of channel number |
| 3 | 8 | Bit 4 (most significant bit) of channel number |
| 4 | 16 | Least significant bit of device number |
| 5 | 32 | Most significant bit of device number |
| 6 | 64 | Turns on the channel of the specified device |
| 7 | 128 | Turns off all channels on the specified device only |
