the PG 740 PII as a stand-alone workstation, and run all the standard
software available on the market that requires Windows 98.

S The PG 740 PII has the power and expansion capability of normal PCs,
and can therefore also be used as a fully-fledged personal computer.

S A PCI slot and a PCI/ISA slot are available for expansions.

S The BIOS has the following functions:
Bootable CD-ROM
PCI interrupt rooting
Reserving of ISA interrupts
The area from 15 to 16 Mbytes can be reserved for the ISA memory
(memory gap)

S The mother board has been greatly improved:

Slot 1 with Pentium II
Sound interface compatible with a soundblaster.

PG 740 PII Connections (Point-to-Point Connections)

Point-to-Point
Connection

In this section, you will learn how to connect your PG 740 PII to a
programming device or programmable controller over a point-to-point
connection.
You establish a point-to-point connection by connecting the PG 740 PII to
another programming device or a programmable controller via

S a V.24 connection
S a TTY connection
Suggestions for
Configuring TTY
(20 mA) Interfaces

Reliable data transfer depends on several factors. The data transfer rate you
can achieve depends on the distance, the type of cable, the type of interface,
and any interference present.

Rules

You can reduce interference by choosing the right transmission cable and
connecting it properly, and observing the following guidelines.

S Use a shielded cable with a low line resistance (< 130 W / km) and low
capacitance (< 90 pF/m). Twisted-pair cables enhance immunity to noise
due to inductance. A low surge impedance results in reduced voltage
excursions and shorter charge reversal times. The surge impedance
decreases with increasing conductor cross-section for the same length of
cable.

S The shorter the transmission link, the higher the maximum possible data
transfer rate.

S If there is an active sender and an active receiver at the same end of the
transmission link, the sequence of access priority to the transmission
circuit must be taken into account in order to achieve the longest possible
transmission link.

S Signal lines and power lines must not be run together. Signal lines must
be installed as far away as possible from strong interference sources
(400 V three-phase power cables, for example).

S The active TTY interface with 12 V no-load voltage has been tested on a
1000 m (3300 ft.) long cable at a transmission rate of 9600 bps in a
normal noisy environment. If a shielded LiYCY 5x1x0.14 is used, reliable
transmission is possible over a distance of up to 1000 m (3300 ft.). The
AS511 protocol (only one transmitter at a time) was used for testing.
Note
The contaminating field of the interference source decreases exponentially
with the distance.

When the PG 740 PII leaves the factory, the COM1 (TTY) serial port is
switched to active (20 mA current loop). If you are connecting two
programming devices via the COM1 (TTY) serial port, you must switch one
of the ports to passive. The PG 740 PII has a switch on its mother board for
this purpose.

Backup Battery

Battery Power
Supply for
Real-Time Clock
and Configuration

A backup battery (3.6 V lithium battery) powers the real-time clock even
after the PG 740 PII is switched off. In addition to the time of day, all the
information about the PG 740 PIIs configuration is stored in RAM. If the
backup battery fails or is removed, all this data is lost.
Because the clock uses very little power and the lithium battery has a high
capacity, the battery can provide backup power for the real-time clock for
several years.

Battery too Low

If the battery voltage is too low, the current time and the configuration data
stored in the RAM are lost.

Changing the
Battery

In this case, you must replace the backup battery. The battery is located
behind the power supply module on the mother board.
To change the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Switch your PG 740 PII off, unplug the power cable and detach all
connecting cables.
2. Open the unit as described in Section 4.1.
3. Undo the three screws of the bracing between the mother board and the
drive support.
4. Remove the power supply by undoing the two screws on its right-hand
side and the two screws on the mother board.
5. Unplug the power supply cable from the power supply.
6. Slide the power supply to the left as far as the stop. You can now lift the
power supply out of the unit.
7. Now replace the backup battery, which is attached to the mother board by
a short length of cable.
8. Fix the new battery to the mother board with a cable binder.
9. Replace the power supply and close the unit as described in Section 4.8.

Caution
Risk of damage
You may only replace the lithium battery with an identical battery or a
battery type recommended by the manufacturer of your PG 740 PII
(order no. W79084-E1003-B1).
You should dispose of used batteries in keeping with local regulations. If
returned to the manufacturer, the batteries will be disposed of correctly.

Resetting SETUP

4-16

If you change the backup battery, you must reset your PG 740 PIIs
configuration with the SETUP program (Chapter 5).

Changing the Device Configuration with BIOS SETUP

Changing the
Device
Configuration

The device configuration of your programming device is set for working with
the software supplied with the unit. You should only change the preset values
if you have modified your device in any way, or if a fault occurs when the
unit is powered up.
The changes you make will not become effective until the device is restarted.
When you exit the setup program, the device is automatically rebooted.

SETUP
Program

The SETUP program is in the ROM-BIOS. Information on the system

configuration is stored in the battery-backed clock memory of the
PG 740 PII.
You can use SETUP to set the hardware configuration (for example, type of
hard disk) and define the system characteristics. You can also use SETUP to
set the time and date in the clock chip.

Incorrect SETUP
Data

If incorrect SETUP data are recognized when booting the system, the BIOS
prompts you to:

S Start SETUP by pressing F2 or

S Continue booting by pressing F1.
Starting SETUP

On completion of the startup test, the BIOS requests you to start the SETUP
program with the following screen prompt:
PRESS < F2 > to enter SETUP

Start SETUP as follows:

1. Reset your PG 740 PII (warm or cold restart).
2. Press the F2 key as long as the BIOS prompt is on the screen.

Default Setting

The F9 key or Get Default Values command in the exit menu sets the
default parameters in the screen forms.

The PS/2 interface is activated, IRQ12 is

assigned. The keyboard trackball is disabled,
an external PS/2 mouse must be connected.
If no external mouse is connected at system
startup, the PS/2 interface is deactivated by

Hardware Information

7.2

Interrupt Assignments

Interrupt
Assignment

The PG 740 PII uses two integral interrupt controllers of type 82C59 to
handle the 16 hardware interrupts (IRQ 0 to IRQ 15).
The INT output of the slave controller is connected to the IRQ 2 input of the
master controller. Interrupt 9 (IRQ 9) can be used on the bus for the assigned
interrupt 2 (IRQ 2). In the initialization phase, IRQ is programmed for the
software interrupt vector 0A H (IRQ 2) by the ROM-BIOS.

Priority

I/O Addresses of
the Interrupt
Controllers

The interrupts are priority-scheduled in the reverse order of their numbering.

Interrupt IRQ 0 has the highest priority and interrupt IRQ 7 the lowest. For
triggering IRQ 2, interrupt IRQ 8 has the highest priority and interrupt IRQ15
the lowest. Interrupts IRQ 8 to IRQ 15 therefore have priority over interrupts
IRQ 3 to IRQ 7. The interrupt vectors are initialized and masked when the
PG 740 PII is powered up.

Guidelines for Handling Electrostatically-Sensitive Devices (ESD)

A.1

What is ESD?

Definition

All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or

components. Due to their design, these electronic elements are very sensitive
to overvoltages and thus to any electrostatic discharge.
These Electrostatically- Sensitive Devices are commonly referred to by the
abbreviation ESD.
Electrostatically-sensitive devices are labeled with the following symbol:

A-2

Caution
Electrostatically-sensitive devices are subject to voltages that are far below
the voltage values that can still be perceived by human beings. These
voltages are present if you touch a component or the electrical connections
of a module without previously being electrostatically discharged. In most
cases, the damage caused by an overvoltage is not immediately noticeable
and results in total damage only after a prolonged period of operation.

Every person with a non-conductive connection to the electrical potential of

its surroundings can be charged electrostatically.
Figure A-1 shows you the maximum values for electrostatic voltages which
can build up on a person coming into contact with the materials indicated in
the figure. These values are in conformity with the specifications of
IEC 801-2.

General Protective Measures Against Electrostatic Discharge

Damage

Ensure Sufficient
Grounding

Make sure that the personnel, working surfaces, and packaging are
sufficiently grounded when handling electrostatically-sensitive devices.
You thus avoid electrostatic charging.

Avoid Direct
Contact

You should touch electrostatically-sensitive devices only if it is unavoidable

(for example, during maintenance work). Hold modules without touching the
pins of components or printed conductors. In this way, the discharged energy
cannot affect the sensitive devices.
If you have to carry out measurements on a module, you must discharge your
body before you start the measurement by touching grounded metallic parts.
Use grounded measuring devices only.

appear.

Cursor Control

Keypad on the keyboard for controlling the cursor.

Device
Configuration

The configuration of a programming device contains information on the

hardware and options of the device, such as memory configuration, drive
types, monitor, network address etc. The data are stored in a configuration
file and enable the operating system to load the correct device drivers and
assign the correct device parameters.
If changes are made to the hardware configuration, the user can change
entries in the configuration file using the SETUP program.
