Before Using the Product 1. Before Using the Product This chapter provides information you should know before using the product. About the Board The PC-RAS(PCI) is a PCI-compliant RAS (*) enhancement board with Web server features. The board provides a variety of functions, including the RAS functions (such as the PC's internal chassis temperature monitor, peripheral device monitor, timer-dependent preventive maintenance, and watchdog timer functions), the Web/mail-based remote functions, and the power control functions (such as remote switches). The following functions assists the host system in improving its stability and operation rate. [Functions] Internal chassis temperature monitor Chassis's fan speed monitor (slowdown/stop) Fan operating temperature control Supply voltage monitor UPS signal monitor RAID controller monitor (for MPC) Peripheral device (digital signal input) monitor Operating-time dependent timer alarm function Alarm signal output to external device upon error detection OS shutdown process start upon error detection Mailing function Logging Watchdog timer function Remote setting/monitor/operation using web browser Remote switch function Automatic system startup function (scheduled start/stop) System startup check function General-purpose I/O signals Application support functions (log, mail) By default, the PC-RAS(PCI) board is intended for use with the CONTEC MPC Series. Therefore the PCs described in examples in this document assume the CONTEC MPC Series. *: RAS stands for reliability, availability, and serviceability, a generic term for a set of functions for improving such aspects of the system. PC-RAS(PCI) 1 1. Before Using the Product Features Completely Independent Operation The PC-RAS(PCI) board is powered by the standby power supply of the PC to operate completely independent of the PC, so that the board is recognized as an independent node in a network. The Web server and RAS functions of the board keep on operating and monitoring even when the PC is not stable in operation. Remote Monitoring and Control via a Web Browser You can access the board from a remote PC over the network using a Web browser to set network and RAS functions, monitor operating states, and to start up or shut down the local PC. Real-time Operation Monitoring The board can collect internal chassis temperature, fan speed, and supply voltage information in real time, allowing you to use a user program and Web browser to remote reference and monitor those parameters, respectively. You can also set the board to take action automatically upon detection of alarms. Automatic Action upon Alarm Detection You can set three levels of alarm conditions for internal chassis temperature, fan speed, supply voltage, and so on and the actions to be taken automatically upon detection of the alarm conditions. You can use your user programs to start automatic actions, shut down the PC, and notify the detection of an alarm by e-mail. Rich Set of RAS Functions The board provides assorted RAS functions, including a watchdog timer for monitoring running programs, general-purpose digital inputs and outputs (four channels each), logging, and RAID controller monitor (when installed in the CONTEC MPC Series). Embedded-system Functions The remote switch function using general-purpose digital input/output makes it easy to draw the power switch (PWRBTN) for panel manufacture. The scheduled startup/shutdown function can generate startup/shutdown requests at up to 16 specified times or at a specified time in minutes every hour. The board can also monitor a startup error owing to an unstable operation at system startup to restart the system automatically, for example, by recycling the power supply. Application Support Functions The PC-RAS(PCI) board can receive debugging log information on applications running on the main unit and application system RAS related log information through a COM port on the PCI bus and output alarm and mail messages in the same way as for the monitor items unique to the board. Web monitoring information can be manipulated via a dedicated protocol over the LAN. This enables the board to be used for a much larger system.

Setup Step 2 Installing the Hardware For using an expansion board under Windows, you have to let the OS detect the I/O addresses and IRQ to be used by the board. The process is referred to as installing the hardware. The PC will recognize the board as a COM port (serial device). The floppy disk bundled with the PC-RAS(PCI) board contains files and utilities for installing the hardware. For details, refer to the ReadMe file on the floppy disk. Turning on the PC Turn on the power to your PC. CAUTION - - The board cannot be properly installed unless the resources (I/O addresses and interrupt level) for the board can be allocated. Before attempting to install the board, first determine what PC resources are free to use. As the board is factory-set for use on the CONTEC MPC Series by default, the board may beep and/or turn on LED2 (in red) upon detection of alarm conditions when your PC is turned on. In that case, change the board settings from within your Web browser. To set the IP address to open the dedicated Web page, see "Setting the Network Parameters Such as the IP Address in Step 3. Setting with the Add New Hardware Wizard (1) The “Add New Hardware Wizard” will be started. Insert the floppy disk bundled with the PC-RAS(PCI) board into the floppy disk drive. Check the "Install the software automatically [Recommended]" radio button, then click on the [Next] button. Figure 2.4. Add New Hardware Wizard Dialog Box 1 PC-RAS(PCI) 15 2. Setup (2) The Hardware Wizard automatically references the setup information file on the floppy disk and finishes installing the driver. Figure 2.5. Add New Hardware Wizard Dialog Box 2 CAUTION In Windows XP, the Hardware Wizard displays the following alert dialog box. This dialog box appears, only indicating that the relevant driver has not passed Windows Logo testing, and it can be ignored without developing any problem with the operation of the board. In this case, click on the [Continue Anyway] button. Figure 2.6. Add New Hardware Wizard Dialog Box 3 16 PC-RAS(PCI) 2. Setup (3) Use the Control Panel to open Device Manager and make user that the board driver has been installed correctly. The board is recognized as a COM port. Also check the COM port number assigned to the board. The COM port number is required for setting the IP address and using user applications. Figure 2.7. Device Manager Window You have now finished installing the hardware. CAUTION Windows XP must be patched with Service Pack 1 (SP) before the PC-RAS(PCI) board can be used normally. PC-RAS(PCI) 17 2. Setup Step 3 Setting the Network This section describes how to set up the board for network connection and to log in to the Web server. See Chapter 3 "External Connection" for connecting a LAN cable between the board and the PC. Setting the Network Parameters Such as the IP Address The board is factory-set to the IP address shown below. You can change the IP address by starting a Web browser using the following default IP address to set the new IP address from within the dedicated Web page, executing a bundled tool of FitUtil.exe on another PC to set it over the LAN, or by running terminal software on the host PC to set it via the COM port on the PCI bus. The procedure below uses the terminal software (HyperTerminal) available as an accessory to Windows XP to set up the board for network connection. A similar procedure can be used in other versions of Windows. IP address: 10.x.x.x (x.x.x is the same as the three low-order bytes of the MAC address) If your PC-RAS(PCI) board has a MAC address of "00 80 4C 34 69 AD" (in hexadecimal), for example, the default IP address factory-set for the board is "10.52.105.173" (in decimal). The MAC address is shown on the board. The default subnet mask factory-set for the board is as follows. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 When using the above factory setting as it is, you can access the Web server without setting any further information. Network Setup Procedure (1) Start the terminal software. Specify the COM port number of the board. The following example selects COM3. Figure 2.8. Terminal Software Started 1 18 PC-RAS(PCI) 2. Setup (2) Set the following communication conditions: Baud rate : 19200 bps Data bits : 8 bit Parity : None Stop bits : 1 bit Flow control : None Figure 2.9. Terminal Software Started 2 (3) Enter "TeRm" at the keyboard. Although the entered string is not echoed in the terminal software, the board enters the terminal mode. Note that "TeRm" is case sensitive. (4) Enter the account to log in. The account given below is factory-registered. Enter the following account. When you have logged in successfully, the terminal software window looks as shown below. Login user : root Password : PASS Note that the above account is case sensitive. Figure 2.10.

Function Overview Board Features and Alarms The most prominent feature of the PC-RAS(PCI) board is that it allows you to set up the board, view the states being monitored by the board (such as the fan speed and temperature), and to control turning on/off the fans from within your Web browser. Another one of the features of the board is its high flexibility that allows the user to freely set the action to be taken for the PC when the board detects an abnormal condition such as in temperature. The board can generate three levels of alarms depending on the urgency of each abnormal condition. The user can set each alarm cause, or the condition or event that triggers each alarm and the action to be taken for the PC when the alarm occurs. The alarm levels are defined as follows: - Critical-level alarm An abnormal condition requiring the shutdown of the PC has occurred. - Alarm-level alarm An abnormal condition to be alerted to has occurred. - Information-level alarm A state to be notified of has occurred. Figure 4.1. Functional outline figure The board can notify a user application running on the host PC of the occurrence of an alarm by serial communication, so that the user application can perform designated processing when a specific abnormal condition or event occurs. To reset a critical-level or alarm-level alarm, remove the alarm cause and use the switch created on the general-purpose input or Web page. An information-level alarm is reset by using the above general-purpose input or when the alarm cause is removed. When an alarm occurs, the mechanical relay output (contact-C output) is set. PC-RAS(PCI) 31 4. Function Alarm-unrelated Functions This section summarizes those functions irrelevant to alarm processing described above which are executed independently. Power Control Functions - You can directly control the power switch (PWRBTN) or reset switch to turn on/off the PC's power supply or shut down the PC. You can control the switches via the Web browser or general-purpose input. - You can disable the power switch (PWRBTN) and reset switch on the chassis. The reset switch can serve as the button for resetting alarms. - You can start up or shut down the PC at scheduled times (scheduling function). General-purpose Input (PI-0 to PI-3) Functions - The general-purpose inputs can be used to control the PC's power supply. (Remote switch) - These inputs can serve as alarm signals for external devices. - The user application can use these inputs as general-purpose inputs. General-purpose Output (PO_A1, PO_A2, PO_B1, PO_B2) Functions - The on-board LED ON/OFF states can be output to general-purpose outputs. - These outputs can be used to output alarm notification signals to external sources. - The outputs can be used to output the state indicating whether the PC has been shut down with the power off. - The user application can use these outputs as general-purpose outputs. Temperature-dependent Fan ON/OFF Control The board can turn on a fan when a specific temperature exceeds a specified value (ON temperature) and turn off the fan when the temperature falls below another specified value (OFF temperature). You can set the ON and OFF temperatures for each of up to four fans. Basic Settings Clicking on "Base setting" on the PC Ras Page displays the basic setting dialog box. The basic setting dialog box allows you to make network, mail, user account, date/time, and log settings.

If you select "Shutdown disable" instead, the Web switch cannot be used to shut down the PC. PC-RAS(PCI) 4. Function [Chassis’s RESET signal through] If you select "Disable," the chassis's reset switch cannot be used to reset the PC. The chassis's reset switch is also assigned the alarm reset function. You can reset a generated alarm by pressing the chassis's reset switch. The alarm reset function remains enabled regardless of the setting of this item. [Application start checking] When invoked upon startup of the PC, the user application can notify the board of the startup by serial communication. When the board receives the startup check notice within the time-out interval, it assumes that the PC has been started up normally. If the board cannot confirm the startup check notice from the user application, it restarts the PC. The PC is restarted depending on the setting of [Retry method] described below. The PC is restarted at most the number of times set as [Retry times] described below. The time-out interval is set as [Waiting time(sec)] described below. If you select "Enable" from the combobox, the startup check is performed as above. If you select "Disable" instead, the startup check is not performed. For issuing the startup check notice from the user application, see "Application Interface" in this chapter. [Waiting time(sec)] If you have set [Application start checking] to "Enable," set the time (time-out interval) for the board to wait until it receives a startup check notice from the user application after the PC's power supply is turned on. If the board receives no notice from the user application within the time-out interval, the board restarts the PC. (Setting range: 30 to 300 seconds) [Retry method] [Retry times] Select how to restart the PC. Selecting "Restart" restarts the PC by recycling the power supply. Selecting "Reset" restarts the PC by causing a reset. Specify the number of time the board restarts the PC while it receives no startup check notice from the user application. (Setting range: 0 to 5 times) [MPC shutdown method] Select how to shut down the PC in response to a shutdown request generated by the board when an alarm occurs. - PWRBTN Execute the same operation as pressing the PWRBTN (momentary switch). Set the power switch (PWRBTN) in the OS in advance and use the OS's function to shut down the PC. (Set it using the Power Options applet in the Control Panel.) - COM PORT The board issues a shutdown request to the user application. Upon reception of the request, the user application shut down the PC using the OS's API. For the shutdown request to the user application, see "Application Interface" in this chapter. - UPS signal Use the UPS power failure detection signal to shut down the PC. The signal is output ORed with the same signal of the UPS device. Set up the UPS appropriately using the Power Options applet in the Control Panel of the OS. PC-RAS(PCI) 53 4. Function - PWRBTN forcced shutdown Set the power switch (PWRBTN) as if it is held down for at least four seconds to force the PC's power supply to be turned off. As no shutdown procedure is involved, this function assumes the use of the board under an OS which requires no shutdown procedure. [Application finish waiting time (sec)] Specify the time (time-out interval) for the board to wait until making sure that the PC's power supply is turned off after receiving a shutdown request from the user application or UPS device. If the PC's power supply is not turned off within the time-out interval, the board generates the power switch (PWRBTN) ON signal for at least four seconds to force the PC's power supply to be turned off. The board checks 0 V output at the +5 V pin to determine that the PC's power supply is turned off. [Power supply type] Select "AT" or "ATX" to specify the behavior of the power supply. When "AT" is selected, the board automatically turns on the PC's power supply after the main power supply is turned on. The board behaves as if the PC carries an AT power supply. Select "AT" if you want to turn on the PC's power supply by turning on the external circuit breaker of the PC. [PWRBTN input interval (1mS)] The power switch (PWRBTN) signal input interval varies with each PC. The next output is prevented within the specified interval. If this value is not adjusted appropriately, the shutdown request from the board may result in abnormal termination without shutting down the system. The following table lists the default values of power supply setup items. Table 4.13.

Function Timer Settings Set two channels of timers for fixed purposes, six channels of standard timers, and four channels of extended timers. Timers 0 and 1 measures PC-RAS board up time and host PC total operating time (power-on time). Timers 2 to 11 count up in synchronization with host PC power-on time. They can be used for approximate values of fan and filter working times. They can be used for preventive maintenance purposes. Although the battery requires measurement of non-operating time for higher precision, these timers should be used by giving the value of operating time, in which the accumulated values of non-operating times are counted, as an approximate value. (The timer values are held in the on-board CF card at intervals of one minute. Whenever the power supply is turned on/off, that portion is truncated.) Figure 4.18. Timer Settings [PC-RAS worktime] Make settings for the operating time of the PC-RAS(PCI) board. [MAIN PC worktime] Make settings for the operating time of the host PC. [Timer n] Make settings for timer n. An item can be selected from the combobox. It has no effect on the operation of the current version. [Now Value] The current value on the timer is displayed.

Function Logout Click on the LOGOUT button shown below to log out. Figure 4.58. Logout PC-RAS(PCI) 75 4. Function Application Interface The PC-RAS(PCI) board has a COM port capable of communicating with the user application via the PCI bus. The user application can access general-purpose inputs/outputs and receive alarm notices from the board. This section describes the application interface. Serial Communication The user application can send instructions to the board or receive notices from the board by issuing commands via serial communication as specified below. Communication specification Baud rate : 19200bps Data length : 8bit Parity : No parity Stop bits : 1bit Flow control : Not connected Protocol : Compliant with asynchronous/basic procedures Link Verification Procedure This procedure verifies the link to the board before serial communication. The startup check notification from the PC uses this procedure. The link verification procedure is illustrated below. The user application must wait for ACK response after sending ENQ. Figure 4.59. Link Verification Procedure 76 PC-RAS(PCI) 4. Function Communication Procedure The user application sends a command described below and waits for a response from the board. Upon reception of the command, the board sends ACK (Acknowledgment) followed by return data such as monitoring results. If the command requires no return data, the board returns only ACK. The user application must send ACK to the board in response to return data from the board. The procedure is illustrated below. If the return data contains an error, the user application sends NAK (Negative Acknowledgment). For return data errors, see "Transmit Command and Receive Data Format" later in this section. Figure 4.60. Communication Procedure (Command Transmission) If the user application receives NAK in the above procedure, it sends the command again. If the board receives NAK, it sends the last data sent again. The following table lists special characters including AKC and NAK. Table 4.16. Special Characters Name Code (Hex) Meaning STX 02H Start of text ETX 03H End of text ACK 06H Acknowledgment NAK 15H Negative Acknowledgment ENQ 05H Enquiry PC-RAS(PCI) 77 4. Function Transmit Command and Receive Data Format The transmit command and receive data must be in the following format. Send the command placed in the [data] part shown below. Receive data is also placed in the [data] part. Format : [STX][LENGTH][DATA][ETX][CHECKSUM] Table 4.17. Format Name Size(byte) Value Meaning STX 1 02H(Hex) Start of data LENGTH 2 ASCII code (Hex) Length of the following data part (in bytes) *1 DATA Length-dependent ASCII code Transmit command or receive data ETX 1 03H(Hex) End of data ASCII code (Hex) Sum of Length, Data, and ETX *1 CHECKSUM 2 *1 When Length or Checksum is 04H, for example, it is expressed by 2-byte ASCII code [30H][34H]. The data part of the format has the following structure: Data part : [COMMAND][MESSAGE] Table 4.18. Data Part of the Format Name Size (byte) Value Meaning COMMAND 4 ASCII code (Hex) Specify the type of the command. MESSAGE It is dependent on a command. ASCII code Write command-specific data. The user application must verify receive data (to check for any error) in the following points: - Time from the reception of STX to the completion of reception of entire data (Set the time-out interval for complete reception and detect an error if ETX is not received within the interval.) - Check the length (by comparison to the amount of data received between STX and ETX). - Check if receive data begins with any code other than STX. - Check the checksum. Example: Calculating the checksum For the following command (3210H), the checksum is calculated as shown below. Transmit data (FORMAT) : [STX][LENGTH][COMMAND][MESSAGE][ETX][CHECKSUM] Transmit data (MEANING) : [STX][4BYTE ][ 3210H ][NOTHING][ETX][2DH ] ↓ (Numeric values are converted into ASCII code.) Actual transmit data : [02H ][ 30H,34H][33H,32H,31H,30H ][ - ][03H ][32H,44H] The checksum is the sum of the element (length) that follows STX to ETX. The checksum of this command is therefore 30H+34H+33H+32H+31H+30H+03H = 12DH. The low-order byte is treated as the checksum, that is 2DH. 78 PC-RAS(PCI) 4. Function Command List The following table lists the commands to be issued by the user application to the board. Table 4.19.

Function Board's Notification Function The board can notify the user application of an alarm by serial communication when the alarm occurs in the board. This function can be used by enabling [Notice to MPC via COM port] described in "Alarm Action Settings" in " Function Settings 1/2" in this chapter. This function is also used to shut down the PC by the user application. In that case, the board sends a shutdown request when a certain shutdown factor occurs. The application receiving the shutdown request performs the shutdown process after required processing. When an alarm occurs or a shutdown request is generated, the board sends the relevant code in the table below. The code is defined as a specified character. The notification from the board may be generated as an interrupt while the user application is receiving some data. The codes listed in the table below must therefore be handled separately from other pieces of receive data. Table 4.20. Notification Codes (Special Characters) Notice Code (HEX.) Size Critical-level alarm occurred 1AH 1byte Alarm-level alarm occurred 19H 1 byte Information-level alarm occurred 18H 1 byte Shutdown request 1BH 1 byte When an alarm has occurred or a shutdown request has been issued, the board sends the relevant code above repeatedly at intervals of five seconds. Figure 4.61. Reception of Notification Code 80 PC-RAS(PCI) 4. Function PIO Control (General-purpose Input/Output) General-purpose Input (Command 3210H) For general-purpose input, the user application transmits the following codes: Transmit data (format) : [STX][LENGTH][COMMAND][MESSAGE][ETX][CHECKSUM] Transmit data (Meaning) : [STX][4byte][ 3210H][NOT CONNECTED][ETX][2DH] ↓ (Numeric values are converted into ASCII code) Actual transmit data : [02H][ 30H,34H][33H,32H,31H,30H][ - ][03H][32H,44H] The checksum is the sum of the element (length) that follows STX to ETX. The checksum of this command is therefore 30H+34H+33H+32H+31H+30H+03H = 12DH. The low-order byte is treated as the checksum, that is 2DH. After transmission, the user application receives ACK followed by receive data in the format as shown below: Receive data format : [STX][LENGTH][COMMAND (3210H)][MESSAGE (Input data 1byte)] [ETX] [CHECKSUM] Actual receive data : [02H][ 30H,34H][33H,32H,31H,30H ][ XX ][03H ][ YY,ZZ ] "XX" (one-byte data) in the above format contains the input value from a general-purpose input port. The individual bits read from "XX" have the following meanings: Bit0: PI-0 input value Bit1: PI-1 input value Bit2: PI-2 input value Bit3: PI-3 input value Bit4: System-reserved (Ignore the value.) Bit5: System-reserved (Ignore the value.) Bit6: System-reserved (Ignore the value.) Bit7: System-reserved (Ignore the value.) (When the input is 0AH, [XX] is [30H,41H].) YY,ZZ are determined by their respective input values. PC-RAS(PCI) 81 4. Function General-purpose Output (Command 3200H) For general-purpose output, the user application transmits the following codes: Transmit data (format): [STX][LENGTH][COMMAND][MESSAGE][ETX][CHECKSUM] Transmit data (Meaning): [STX][4 byte][ 3200H ][ XX Actual transmit data ][ETX][ YY ] : [02H ][ 30H,34H][33H,32H,30H,30H ][ XX ][03H ][ YY1, YY2 ] Set an output value for "XX" (one-byte data) in the above format. The individual bits of "XX" have the following meanings. Transmit the above data with the desired bit set to 1 or 0. Bit0: PO-A1 output value Bit1: PO-A2 output value Bit2: PO-B1 output value Bit3: PO-B2 output value Bit4: System-reserved (Assume the value as 0.) Bit5: System-reserved (Assume the value as 0.) Bit6: System-reserved (Assume the value as 0.) Bit7: System-reserved (Assume the value as 0.) (When the output is 01H, [XX] is [30H,41].) This has no effect on the bits not assigned for general-purpose output. YY is determined by the value of XX. For calculation, see "General-purpose Input (Command 3210H)." 82 PC-RAS(PCI) 4. Function WDT Control Control the WDT using serial data communication and the DTR line. - Use command 3100H to start the WDT. - Use command 3101H to stop the WDT. - Set the time-out interval from within the Web browser in advance. - Detect the edge at which the DTR line is turned on and clear the timer. Control the DTR line to periodically clear the timer until the WDT started by command 3100H is stopped by command 3101H. See the diagram below for the timing. Start controlling the DTR line to clear the timer before starting the WDT. DTR control is based on the Widows API. Accurately time-based processing seems to be difficult for Windows applications. When designing your applications, consider a sufficient timing margin for the WDT timer clear timing. Figure 4.62. WDT Timer Clear Timing The transmit commands are as follows: WDT start (command 3100H) Transmit data (format) : [STX][LENGTH][COMMAND][MESSAGE][ETX][CHECKSUM] Transmit data (Meaning) : [STX][4 byte][ 3100H][NOT CONNECTED][ETX][2BH ] Actual transmit data : [02H ][ 30H,34H][33H,31H,30H,30H ][ - ][03H ][32H,42H] WDT stop (Command 3101H) Transmit data (format): [STX][LENGTH][COMMAND][MESSAGE][ETX][CHECKSUM] Transmit data (Meaning): [STX][4 byte][ 3101H ][NOT CONNECTED][ETX][2CH ] Actual transmit data : [02H ][ 30H,34H][33H,31H,30H,31H ][ - ][03H ][32H,43H] Startup Check Notification (PC Startup Retry Function) The board can be notified that the PC has been started and, if not notified so, the board retries starting up the PC. To use this function, the user application transmits a special character of ENQ at program invocation to notify the board that the PC has been started. The board returns ACK in response to ENQ received from the user application. PC-RAS(PCI) 83 4. Function LED Status Displays The board has green and red status display LEDs.

This section briefly explains the F&eIT protocol and describes the F&eIT server installed on the board. Basic Specifications Concepts The F&eIT protocol allocates board resources (including information) in virtual space and assigns virtual addresses to them, making them accessible. Data Communication Procedure The F&eIT protocol used by the board has a command response access procedure on connectionless UDP/IP. Control side PC-RAS(PCI) Write/Read request Status received Figure 6.1. Communications Procedure PC-RAS(PCI) 95 6. Appendix Frame format Frames uses a UDP/IP port address of 5007h and implements the F&eIT protocol in their data part. The frame is structured as shown below. The Ethernet, IP, and UDP parts adopt big endian according to the header byte ordering convention. The other parts adopt little endian to give priority to process control of the x86 CPU. Table 6.1.

The measured (obtained) and set values of temperature are expressed by multiplying the actual values by 10. The unit is °C. To set a temperature of 45.7°C, for example, specify: 45.7 x 10 = 457 = 1C9H. The measured and set values of temperatures are therefore expressed in 0.1°C. Note, however, that the resolution of the temperature sensor is 0.5°C. *2 Specify each alarm level as follows: 0: No alarm level (No alarm is generated.) 1: A critical-level alarm is generated. 2: An alarm-level alarm is generated. PC-RAS(PCI) 111 6. Appendix 3: An information-level alarm is generated. *3 Specify the voltage using an unsigned 16-bit value. The measured (obtained) and set values of voltage are expressed by multiplying the actual values by 100. The unit is V. To set a voltage of 12.75 V, for example, specify: 12.75 x 100 = 1275 = 4FBH. The measured and set values of voltages are therefore expressed in 0.01 V. *4 Specify each general-purpose input mode as follows: 0: Not used 1: Remote PWBTN 2: Remote reset 3: External alarm (critical) 4: External alarm (alarm) 5: External alarm (information) 6: General-purpose input 7: Remote PWBTN ON request 8: Remote PWBTN OFF request 9: Remote alarm reset 10: Remote Beep Off *5 Specify each general-purpose output mode as follows: 0: Not used 1: Similar to LED 1 (Green LED) 2: Similar to LED 2 (Red LED) 3: External alarm (critical) 4: External alarm (alarm) 5: External alarm (information) 6: General-purpose output 7: Shutdown OK display (internal) *6 Specify the mail recipient as follows: 0: Do not send 1: Recipient 1 2: Recipient 2 3: Recipients 1 & 2 (broadcasted to the addresses of the both recipients). *7 The RAS board automatically changes the setting from ON to OFF. *8 The state is an output state internal to the board. It is not affected by the level inversion function. *9 The level of alarm generated is expressed as follows: 0: No alarm was generated. 1: A critical-level alarm was generated. 2: An alarm-level alarm was generated. 3: An information-level alarm was generated. *10 112 The bit containing 1 indicates that the RAS board is in that state.
