Can I use Quantum analog modules and EFBs on M580 ERIO?

Goals and Symptoms

How can we configure the EFBs O_SET and O_SCALE to work on the 8 channels of an analog card 140ACI3000 located in a remote Quantum ERIO drop in an M580 configuration ?

Facts and Changes
M580, Quantum CRA

Causes and Fixes

In the setup, you will need the 140CRA31200 and the analog module, for this example the 140ACI03000. The M580 firmware must be at least 2.10.

In the FBD section, the QUANTUM EFB that was originally used in the Quantum configuration is not used with the M580.
Simply add the DROP EFB and leave the SLOT input pin** unassigned and enter the physical CRA drop number on the NUMBER input pin.



From the DROP EFB slot pins (or XDROP for expanded rack 2) you can use the EFBs that were originally used in Quantum configurations. (ACI030, I_SCALE, ...)

Make sure that the M580 firmware is to at least v2.10 or these blocks will not function consistently.

**If using the 140CRA31908 instead of the 140CRA31200 see below the difference.

This example is for a single coaxial Quantum drop #2 serviced by the CRA31908 which has a 140CRP93x00 is located in slot 3. Use a DROP block with the following

pin assignments:

Upper pin = 3 (SLOT)    (this needs to match the slot number of the 140CRP93x00)

Lower pin = 2 (DROP)    ( this needs to match Quantum drop number setting on the back of the CRP93x and accompanying RIO Bus drop in the project)

You will be able to add more DROP block where the Upper pin stays the same and the Lower pin changes for each Remote IO Quantum Drop.
