SAK2 Memory Analog Board
SAK2 Memory Analog Board
SAK2, design
The memory analog board SAK2 is in
the computer plug-in unit REE.
SAK2, task
The memory analog board SAK2 has
several tasks. These are:
It provides a battery-backed
RAM (write/read memory) for
the communication between the
two processor boards in the board
slots REK1 and REK2. Thanks to
the battery back-up, preset
parameters (e.g. specific job data)
are not lost in the case of a
voltage drop or when the press is
shut down.
It generates the bus clock for the
entire control system.
SAK2, function
The memory analog board SAK2 is
equipped with a battery-backed write
and read memory (RAM). The data
stored in this RAM will not be lost
when the press is shut down (e.g.
totalizer reading, variant code,
presettings).
Via another memory (dual-port
RAM) the processor boards REK1
and REK2 communicate with each
other. The SAK2 generates the clock
signal for the processor boards in the
board slots REK1 and REK2. Only
when this clock signal is present can
the processor boards communicate
with each other.
Apart from this, the SAK2 processes
the signals from 16 analog inputs.
This analog section and a serial
interface are controlled by a
processor. After the initialization, the
processor board REK2 transmits the
program for this processor to the
SAK2 memory.
SAK2, interfaces
Parallel interfaces
In the initialization phase, the
processor board REK2 transmits the
program code to the SAK2. Apart
from initialization and test routines,
the program code contains modules
for the handling of the 16 analog
inputs and the serial interface and for
the transmission of data to the control
computer (REK2).
In its main program, the processor of
the SAK2 constantly acquires the
signals from the analog inputs and
stores the acquired data in a memory.
Thus this data is available to the
control computer (REK2).
Apart from this, data is exchanged at
defined intervals between the SAK2
and the control computer by which
they check each other's correct
functioning.
