Model NGA 2000 Platform
6-9 MODULE BINDING
This series of menus under Network Module
Management are used to manage the binding
of Modules to the Platform and between Ana-
lyzers and I/O Modules.
Binding will occur automatically if only one
I/O board and one Analyzer module are on
the system. Multiple Analyzers modules and
sharing of I/O boards with Analyzers will re-
quire binding. Once bound, the binding con-
figuration is retained in platform memory and
binding will occur automatically if the platform
in powered down. However, if modules are
changed, the procedures below need to be
performed to replace or add bindings into the
memory.
In the List of Active Modules display, listed are
the currently active modules connected to the
Platform recognized during the initialization of
the network.
NOTE
Any module connected or discon-
nected after initialization of the net-
work will not be recognized until the
system is re-initialized. Ensure that
the system recognizes all modules
on the network. If it does not, the
problem must be corrected before
continuing.
Ensure that each module has a unique user
tag number. See Section 2-6d for further in-
structions
NOTE
.Binding refers to linking an Ana-
lyzer to the Platform or an I/O board.
Adding refers to binding an I/O
board to more than one Analyzer.
To change an I/O module assign-
ment:
Hghlight the module to be changed and press
the F3 (Delete!) button on the Module Binding
menu. Then assign the I/O module to another
Analyzer as previously described.
To remove an I/O module:
Delete can also be used to remove an Ana-
lyzer module that is no longer attached to the
platform or to remove an I/O module from an
Analyzer module.
When all assignments are complete, press the
F4 (Bind!) key. The system will re-initialize,
binding all the modules as chosen. To cancel
the assignments before performing the bind,
press the F1 (Abort) key to return to the Main
Menu.
