multiPort™ (CN6)
RTD’s exclusive multiPort can be configured as an Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO™), a parallel port, or a floppy drive.
Refer to Chapter 4, Using the cpuModule, to configure the multiPort.
multiPort Configured as an Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO™) Port
The mulitPort connector (CN6) can be configured as an aDIO port. aDIO is 16 digital bits configured as 8-bit
programmable and 8-bit port programmable I/O, providing any combination of inputs and outputs. Match,
event, and strobe interrupt modes mean no more wasting valuable processor time polling digital inputs.
Interrupts are generated when the 8-bit programmable digital inputs match a pattern, or on any value change
event. Bit masking allows selecting any subgroup of 8 bits. The strobe input latches data into the bit
programmable port and generates an interrupt. Refer to multiPort: Advanced Digital I/O Ports (aDIO™) on page
56 for information on programming the multiPort.
