Control Information for the 1260-37A
The following information describes the control-register-to-relay-channel mapping for a 1260-37A
Relay Module. This information may be used to control a 1260-37A when using a 1260-01T in the
register-based mode of operation.
The table below shows the mapping between logical channels used to operate the relay module in
message-based mode and the bits within the Control Registers which may be used to operate the
channel in register-based mode.
Each Control Register is located 2 addresses from the previous Control Register. This is shown in
Table 2-2 of the 1260-01T manual. Control Register 0 is located at the “Base A24 Address” for the
module. Consult the “Register-Based Operation” Section of Chapter 2 of the 1260-01T manual for
a description of calculating control register addresses.
Each channel between 0 and 23 (inclusive) is operated by setting or clearing two bits in parallel.
One bit in each of two different Control Registers must be set to operate these channels as a 4-
wire MUX.
Channels 100 through 139 are each operated by a single bit of a single Control Register.
