The User Manual says “The processor stops operating and will not communicate. All Servo, MACRO, and I/O IC’s are forced into their reset states, which force discrete outputs off, and proportional outputs (DAC, PWN, PFM) to zero-level.”
Does this mean:
- The PMAC card will immediately send out commands onto the ring to disable all amplifiers and to set all command values to zero?
- The PMAC card, after the reset commands, will not continue to send out any data on the MACRO ring?
- The PMAC card, after the reset, will continuously send out the reset states (disable all amplifiers and set all command values to zero) on the MACRO ring?
- The amplifiers we have attached to the MACRO ring immediately shut down if they do not receive MACRO commands addressed to the particular amplifier within each millisecond; should I expect the amplifiers to shut down because of not receiving commands?
- Will the PMAC card pass MACRO commands through that were generated by another device on the ring?
