Preface - Metso PDP Series Installation, Preparation And Adjustment

Preface

The Distributed Processing Unit described in this publication consists of two
models, the Model PDP001 Series and the Model PDP100 Series. From a
hardware perspective, the two models are virtually identical. At the software
level, however, the two models contain different firmware. The Version 7.1
Firmware makes the Model PDP100 Series compatible with the IEC 1131-3
toolset. The Model PDP001 Series supports Metso Automation MAX
Controls EXtended Control Engineering Language (ExCEL), a Metso
Automation MAX Controls programming language, and ladder logic.
In addition to DPU front panel controls, to a limited extent you may control
a DPU from the maxSTATION running maxVUE Runtime software.
maxVUE Runtime also lets you monitor DPU status, DPU-related alarms,
and access DPU Interaction Pages, containing data and system statistics
stored in the DPU. Interaction Pages are described in Chapter 3. For
maxVUE Runtime information, refer to Publication 277557, MaxSTATION
Operator' s Guide. You may reload a DPU's configuration from the
maxSTATION running maxTOOLS software. Refer to the maxTOOLS
online help supplied with the package for configuration installation
instructions.
