Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME:

ICS/ICR Handler, Version 1.1, for RSX-11D and lAS

DESCRIPTION:
The ICS/ICR handler provides the user with the capability to access the ICS/ICR hardware and its full
complement of options from tasks written in assembly
language or FORTRAN IV under the RSX-11 D and
lAS operating systems.
The ICS/ICR handler features include:
Support of ICS and ICR Mix - Up to 12 ICS file
boxes or 12 ICR file boxes or any combination of ICS
and ICR file boxes to a maximum of 12 are supported
by the ICS/ICR handler. This mix and match capability provides the user with the ability to access local
(ICS) and remote (ICR) industrial interfaces with a single handler.
FORTRAN Subroutines - Communication between
tasks written in FORTRAN and the ICS/ICR is accomplished by a series of callable subroutines which constitute a superset of the Instrument Society of America (ISA) SP61.1 Standards. Similarly, tasks written in
assembly language can communicate with the
ICS/ICR using a set of macros.
AID Support - The support provided for the analog
options of the ICS/ICR includes the ability to perform
conversion on multiple channels in random or sequential order. Parallel A/D conversions can be performed in parallel on different physical file boxes or
within one single file box if multiple A/D converters
are present.
Digital Input and Output Support - The ICS/ICR
handler contains the necessary routines to read contact sense input, set steady state digital output and
single shot output.
Unsolicited Interrupt Processing - Tasks can be associated with digital contact interrupts, counters,
CTRL/C received at a remote terminal connected to
an ICR, or the occurrence of an error. The ICS/ICR
handler can schedule tasks for execution when it detects these conditions. Contact interrupts and counters can also be handled by specifying a circular buffer into which data is stored for further manipulation
and analysis.
Error Detection, Power Fail Recovery - Handler generation options allow the user to specify how to
handle errors such as communication errors on an
ICR serial line, failure of a remote ICR file box, and
power failure of remote (ICR) file boxes.

SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or B in the applicable Software Product Description (SPD)
existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD. DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct
defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWARE to the SPD) as described below. Any SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category C will be furnished
on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category A or B, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite hardware and software, is
ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United
States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary of DIGITAL has a software service facility. The notification must be
