3 Functions

___________________________________________________________________________

The software structure of the module is similar to that of a PC compatible microcomputer.

Typically it comprises :

• A systems and services part, common to all the applications which can be executed on the module.

• An application part, which is the responsibility of the systems integrator, or an application specific to the Telemecanique range of products.

3.2-1 Operating system and services

This software is resident in the module and manages the hardware :

• BIOS

The BIOS is located in the BIOS ROM memory and manages system start-up when the module is powered up (self-tests). In addition, it manages all the physical I/O such as keyboard, video, serial link, pseudo disks (SYSTEM/RAM DISK) and shared memory.

• Operating system and utilities

This software is located in the system memory (SYSTEM DISK). It comprises the operating system DR DOS 5.0 and the DOPTOOLS utility (see later).

___________________________________________________________________________

40

Functions 3

___________________________________________________________________________

Each time the module is powered up or initialized, it executes a series of self-tests :

• It executes the first tests which, in the case of a detected failure, stop the microprocessor, thus rendering the module inoperative :

- Microprocessor test.

- BIOS ROM memory test.

- DMA and timers test.

• Providing the first series of self-tests execute without error, a second series is performed. Should a failure be detected, an error message is displayed and the microprocessor continues the tests. The tests comprise :

- Determining the size of system RAM memory.

- Video controller test.

- Interrupt controller test.

- RAM memory test.

- Keyboard test.

- System disk test.

- Serial port test.

- Shared memory (SMU) test.

If a screen is connected to the module, the progress of the tests is displayed as follows :

When the self-tests have been completed, the result is displayed on the LEDs on the front panel and stored in a status word (see section 5.4). Providing no errors have been detected during the self-tests, the BIOS "Bootstrap" loader executes and attempts to find the system "Boot" file either in the memory cartridge or in system memory. The first file found is then loaded into memory and executed to start up the system.

Operation 4

___________________________________________________________________________

The cartridge can be formatted in one of two ways :

• Cartridge formatted and non-bootable, called application or user cartridge,

• Cartridge formatted and bootable, called system cartridge.

The operation of the module at power-up and at the end of the self-test phase is determined by the state of the cartridge.

• If the cartridge is absent or not formatted, the module will execute the self-test routines, then load into memory and execute the operating system found in system memory (SYSTEM DISK). The time, as read from the PLC, and the main user menu are displayed on the screen connected to the module. The user menu offers the following functions to the user :

- Cartridge initialization.

- Updating the time/date in the PLC and the module.

- Executing an application.

- Return to the operating system.

• If an application cartridge (user cartridge) is present, the module will execute the self-test routines, then load into memory and execute the operating system found in the system memory (SYSTEM DISK).

Should there be no application program present in the cartridge, the time, read from the PLC, and the main user menu are displayed on the screen connected to the module. If an application is present in the cartridge, it is executed.

• If a system cartridge is present, the module will execute the self-test routines, then load into memory and execute the operating system found in the cartridge.

4 Operation

___________________________________________________________________________

Logical formatting of the cartridge : Consists of initializing the first sectors of the cartridge in the following way :

• Initializing the boot sector.

• Initializing the FAT sectors.

• Initializing the root directory sectors

• Creating a volume name (11 characters) to customize the cartridge :

Minutes

Hours

Year

Day of the Year

For example, 07291133022 corresponds to a cartridge formatted on the 72nd day of 1991 at 13.30 and 22 seconds.

The message End Cartridge Initialization ! informs the user that cartridge formatting is finished.

There are two types of error which may occur during the cartridge initialization operation :

• Serious errors which require the operation to stop immediately : no cartridge present, EPROM cartridge, error in system tracks (tracks 0 and 1).

• Errors relating to one track : checksum error, sector not found, write or read error, etc. The track is declared unusable by DOS, which reduces the size of available memory in the cartridge accordingly.

DOS identification of the cartridge

• Cartridges

≥

2 Mb

A : represents the system disk,

C : represents the cartridge (user cartridge or system cartridge).

• Cartridges < 2 Mb

A : represents the bootable drive, either the system disk, or the cartridge

(system cartridge),

B : represents the other drive.

___________________________________________________________________________

Operation 4

___________________________________________________________________________

<F10> Permits the user to initialize (or format) a system cartridge (bootable cartridge).

The following message is displayed on the screen :

WARNING! This operation erases the whole cartridge !

Do you really want to continue (F9=Yes, Others=No)?

As for an application cartridge, the user is required to either confirm and start the formatting operation, or abort.

The procedure for formatting is identical to that for an application cartridge. The only difference consists of adding a boot sector and the DOS system files when the formatting is finished.

Error management is identical to that for the application cartridge.
