Operational Description
4.1.4.1 Monitor Channel Protocol
The PI allows to program the IEC-Q Monitor Channel in the way known from the PEB
2070 (ICC).
The Monitor Channel operates on an asynchronous basis. While data transfers on the
IOM®-2-bus occur synchronized to frame sync FSC, the flow of data is controlled by a
handshake procedure using the Monitor Channel Receive (MR) and Monitor Channel
Transmit (MX) bits. For example: data is placed onto the Monitor Channel and the MX
bit is activated. This data will be transmitted repeatedly once per 8-kHz frame until the
transfer is acknowledged via the MR bit.
The microprocessor may either enforce a "1" (idle) in MR, MX by setting the control bit
MOCR:MRC or MOCR:MXC to "0", or enable the control of these bits internally by the
IEC-Q according to the Monitor Channel protocol. Thus, before a data exchange can
begin, the control bits MRC or MXC should be set to "1" by the microprocessor.
The Monitor Channel protocol is illustrated in Figure 43. The relevant control and status
bits for transmission and reception are:
