Need SIOC.INI for RELAY Board

Hi Everybody
Can some one please help me with a script and .ini for my OC Relay card. I want to work some
solonoids thru it. I tried allmost every thing, I start getting the idea that my serial port is not right,
It is a Pin To Pin from my Master card to the Relay board(Relay board is reduced virsion,no usb)..
I Have one expansion card and one mastercard..
IDX=0-IOCARDUSB-Device=23

Scrip that i want is the Aircraft on ground flag $0366

Here is my sioc.ini

Code:

Please Help thanks

If you have the Relays card with no USB connector (just the db9 to the mastercard), then I do not think that you should have the USBRelays=0,23 entry in your sioc.ini - change it to USBRelays=0,0. Also if you are using the mastercard power, have you set the relay card jumper to internal.

After the above, can you see the outputs in the SIOCMonitor programme? If so, and it still does not operate the relay, suggest you post your sioc code

David

Hi Marnus

Try something like shown in the Code window below and pick the Relay you need.
The DB9 has the Output numbers 49 to 55 (on the first MasterCard).
Look in SIOCMonitor in the last Output column for the DB9 signals and
use IOCPConsole to verify the operation. It seems to work in Slewing mode as well,
so it's easy to test. No need to burn a lot of fuel ;-)

BTW - forget all about USBRelay...just set it as David said.
and I don't have this card myself. Only referring to some scary "Spanglish" documentation. ;-)

Code:

---

Var 10 Name AIR_SIG Link FSUIPC_IN Offset $0366 Length 2
// Aircraft in Air or not (0=airborne, 1=on ground).
{
 IF &AIR_SIG = 1
 {
  &Relay1 = 1
 }
 ELSE
 {
  &Relay1 = 0
 }
}
Var 1 Name Relay1 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 49
Var 2 Name Relay2 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 50
Var 3 Name Relay3 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 51
Var 4 Name Relay4 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 52
Var 5 Name Relay5 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 53
Var 6 Name Relay6 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 54
Var 7 Name Relay7 Link IOCARD_OUT Output 55

DB9 connector layout:

Hi David

I have test my Relays in SIOCMonitor and it works fine...I also took the jumer of
from J2 couse im using external power to work my 7 Relays.I wil try and use Per-Erik
script to see if i can get some action...
So are the rest of my .ini file all good,I dont need to do
fault finding in there anymore?

Var 0001, name on_ground, Link USB_RELAYS, Output 1
var 0002, name flag, Link FSUIPC_IN, offset $0366, length 2
{
IF &flag = 0
{
&on_ground = 0
}
ELSE
{
&on_ground = 1
}
}

HI Per-Erik

I have test Output numbers 49 to 55.It is all good.I was running IOCPConsole with
The SIM and you can see the variables changing numbers one to zero and visa versa
as i take off and touch down..but no action from Relay card..I also looked at the at the
Attached layout..does that mean my DB9 is corect,pin to pin from master to Relay card.

Thanks for the help..

Marnus,

Sorry I didn't catch you've done your homework :-)

Then I can't figure out anything else than a blown ULN2003A.
BTW - Check that you have ~5V between pin 8 and 9 on the IC.

Hi Per-Erik

some changes made in the .ini file and your script did the magic trick.
It all works fine now,

Thanks alot guys.

Marnus,

I try to learn this stuff myself so what did you change?
I could not find anything wrong with your sioc.ini :-(
