DCU Setup 21 Chapter About DCU setup The MKS-X7700 and MKS-X2700 System Interface Units can function as device control units (DCU) using the GPI input/output ports, 9-pin serial port, or network port. However, the system interface units (SIU) that can use the DCU function is limited to SIU1 and SIU2 only. The settings related to the DCU function of the SIU are configured in the Engineering Setup >DCU menu. To configure menu settings, select [DCU1] for SIU1 or select [DCU2] for SIU2. Note The DCU setup must be configured in the same way on control panels (up to three units) that share a common SIU (DCU function). After performing DCU setup on one control panel, configure the other control panels with the same setup. Parallel Input Settings The SIU parallel input ports are assigned with the following priority sequence. (1) When an external box is configured in the Engineering Setup >Router/Tally >Router >External Box Assign menu (7361.1), parallel inputs are assigned to the external box inputs in order. (2) When tally is configured in the Engineering Setup >Router/Tally >Tally Enable menu (7364), parallel inputs are assigned to tally inputs automatically. Input ports that are not used after the configuration above can be assigned as GPI input ports in the Engineering Setup >DCU >Input Config menu (7351). GPI input is also supported via a network. The GPI input port settings are the same as for parallel input ports. For details, see "GPI input via a network" (page 474). Assigning a GPI Input Port 1 In the group of the Engineering Setup >DCU >Input Config menu (7351), select one of the following. DCU1: Set SIU1 ports. DCU2: Set SIU2 ports. 2 In the group, press [GPI Input]. 3 Select the input port and GPI input number. No. Parameter Adjustment 1 Parallel Input port Input 3 GPI Input GPI input Note For MKS-X2700 parallel input ports, set a port in the range 1 to 34. 473
